I'd love to hear what actresses have had a lasting impression on our movie viewing lives.

Kathy Bates
Frances McDormand
Meryl Streep
Sigourney Weaver.
While Pam Grier is probably the true OG of women action stars (See the 1974 film Foxy Brown), her character was still largely "female". Whereas Sigourney's portrayal of Ripley in Alien was completely devoid of any of gender stereotypes or archetypes. Her performance was so epic that nobody really paid attention to whether it was a man or a woman, we just watched this badass try to survive an impossible situation and rooted for them.
Cicely Tyson, Drew Barrymore, Lucille Ball, Sally Field, Katharine Hepburn
Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen)
Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa)
Mainly because I like the characters and those are the only actresses I know
Not sure you'll recognize some of these names, if not MOST xD But for me there's a few of em, and they Bette Davis, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Katherine Hepburn , Diane Lane, Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Michelle Pfiefer, Shelly Winters, Jamie Lee Curtis, Vivica A. Fox and Bebe Nuerith.
