Day 88: Favorite actresses in TV series

Since I have already done a Top 10 about my favorite actors I was thinking about a Top 10 of favorite actresses. I started a shortlist but got a bit stuck. Some starred in multiple great movies, other had only one outstanding role, and others I only know from one serie or movie. So I changed my initial plan and made it myself a bit easier. For now it’s just a lit of great actresses in great series. Enjoy!

Do I feel like full explanations today? Nah, I don’t. I’ll just add some scenes or trailers from Youtube and you’ll find out. All 10 series are highly recommended to watch anyway.


10. Laura Prepon – Donna Pinciotti (That 70s Show)

9. Kaley Cuoco – Penny Hofstadter (The Big Bang Theory)

8. Nina Hoss – Alena Kovac (Jack Ryan season 3)

Besides boring interviews I cannot find a decent video of Nina Hoss in Jack Ryan, therefore I just post the trailer again.

7. Claire Danes – Carrie Mathison (Homeland)

6. Kerry Washington – Olivia Pope (Scandal)

5. Téa Leoni – Elizabeth McCord (Madam Secretary)

4. Michelle Dockery Alice Fletcher (Godless)

You might also know her from Downton Abbey.

3. Emily VanCamp – Emily Thorne (Revenge)

2. Katheryn Winnick – Lagertha (Vikings)

1. Robin Wright – Claire Underwood (House of Cards)
