In no particular order:
Joan Fontaine
Diana Rigg
Vivien Leigh
Jeanne Moreau
Liv Ullmann
Bibi Andersson
Monica Vitti
Greer Garson
Meryl Streep
Bette Davis
Honorable mentions: Vanessa Redgrave (just have not seen enough of her films) and Kim Novak (imo one of the best single performances, for Vertigo, maybe the best, although imo tied for first with Joan Fontaine in Rebecca and Bibi Andersson in Persona). Another is Kate Winslett, who is probably my favorite current actress.
Others are Myrna Loy, Jessica Lange, Joan Crawford, Maureen OHara, Deborah Kerr, Ingrid Thulin, Sylva Koscina, Catherine Deneuve, Anouk Aimee (for La Dolce Vita and 8&1/2), Emily Watson, Sissy Spacek, Olivia de Havilland, Ingrid Bergman, Eva Marie Saint, Jill Clayburgh, Faye Dunaway, Frances McDormand, Julie Christie, Carole Lombard, Gene Tierney and more recently I am becoming a fan of Jessica Chastain. -
