Ginger in Casino. It is mind boggling that Sharon Stone was nominated for an oscar for playing her. There's a really bad woman with no redeeming qualities.

Kathy Bates from Misery played a great villainous. Lady Kaede from Ran is a good one too. If you count animations, I could include Cruella Devill from 101 Dalmatians.

Most of the females mentioned here PALE in comparison to NR. She is detestable and I can conceive of no physical torture equal to the intense and deep hatred I harbor for her.

I agree, Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate and also in Gaslight. Fittingly, she was offered the part of Nurse Ratched. Also, don't forget Shirley Stoler in The Honeymoon Killers and Seven Beauties, Lotte Lenya in From Russia with Love and The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, Anjanette Comer and Ruth Roman in The Baby or Sonia Dresdel as Mrs. Baines in The Fallen Idol.

Well, there is nobody worse than Nurse Ratchet. But here are some pretty vile females.
Olivia DeHaviland - "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte"
Joan Crawford - "Harriet Craig"
Maggie Smith - "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (loved it when Pamela Franklin read her beads at the end of the movie)
Bonnie Franklin - "One Day at a Time"
Ruth Roman - "The Baby"
Nancy Allen - "Carrie"
Olivia DeHaviland - "Lady in a Cage"
Kim Stanley - "Frances"
Joan Crawford - "Night Gallery" (wretched person, Joan is terrifyingly good!)
Glenn Close - "Dangerous Liasons"
For those who cited
Bette Davis - "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" I can't find Jane Hudson that awful because she made me laugh (a lot), and Bette Davis is just too likeable in general, and because, ultimately, Jane was a very, very sad woman.
Glenn Close - "Fatal Attraction" Alex Forrest was tragic, and I found her extraordinarily sympathetic.
Charlize Theoron - "Monster" same as above, times 10,000
Kathy Bates - "Misery" I liked the movie, but I just couldn't take Kathy Bates very seriously as a villain. To me, she was just sort of grumpy. To be honest, I kind of liked her.
And lots and lots of
scary
females mentioned here, but scary and hateful do not automatically mean the same thing to me.
