Top Ten Most Underrated Actresses
Robin Tunney is without question one of the best actresses on T.V.. I have not seen her movies, but I gather they did not do well at the box office. She deserves someone to write a script for her as the star of a great film. I'm amazed that some of the indie film directors haven't cast her in a really good film. Not only does she act beautifully and created the character of Lisbon on The Mentalist, she also loves the camera and it loves her back. The most beautiful and ageless actress on T.V. with subdued sexuality, who doesn't have to dress sexy to be the sexiest woman in the room.
Whenever I really, really like the character of a series (like Lisbon from The Mentalist) I start checking if the character is so amazing because of the actor or if the actor only seems good because of the role and in most of the cases, it's the latter (I guess you all know some examples). Robin Tunney was the very first case in which the actress was even ten times better than the T.V. character. She's great in every movie she made, like Niagara, Niagara, Montana, Open Window and my favorite movie, The Craft. She deserves a really big role and sometimes I'd even like to write a bestseller just to give her such a role. I really hope that this is gonna happen the next time!
I can't understand that a proven talented actress like Naomi Watts who is one of the most hard working woman in the movie industry don't get more credit. It's like all the people who are involved in the decisions to give awards are blind. This actress deserve more than one oscar if you ask me. I can only hope for her that one day she's gonna get a winning oscar for all her talented work she has given in all this years.
We surely wish you luck,Naomi.
Naomi Watts don't need to prove her talent anymore. She prove it enough in every movie she makes.
She's very beautiful, amazingly gifted for her acting skills and yet she stays underrated. This woman deserves to be on top of the best actresses of all time.
P.S : The one who wrote that she looks like a rabbit, I say, you're an idiot, grow up!
Naomi Watts has proved herself as a great actress many times from "Mulholland Drive" to "21 Grams", "Eastern Promises", "King Kong" and now "The Impossible". She's a regular nominee during awards season but hardly gets the credit for it.
Alicia is beautiful, talented and very hot actress. What else do you need?
The New World, Hideaway, The Babysitter, Batman & Robin, Excess Baggage, Blast from the Past, Beauty Shop, Miss Match...
I'm cryin'. Glad to see her in the top 5. She is such a hot and amazing actress, but so underrated. It's crazy too
"Batman and Robin" ruined her career
Everybody knows ( or almost ) her and yet it annoys me that Rachel McAdams isn't as popular as less talented and overrated actresses.
Rachel McAdams made her fame and fortune by herself because she has done a lot of good work what can't be said about seeking publicity overrated actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lawrence and many others.
She lives a semi-anonymous life so she don't have to put up with all kind of gossip mags and sites and I admire her for that.
I hope she makes a comeback soon with a oscar - worthy role and film because after all this years this lovely actress really deserves to win.
Rachel McAdams has been the only good thing about so many terrible movies, and is tragically underused in so many films. When given a good character, like in Mean Girls or Passion she always shows everyone just how great an actor she is, and in a lot of films (for example Red Pill, where her character actively describes herself as a selfless person) she makes what could be extremely annoying characters really appealing. Bonus points for being one of the view celebrities to actually come across as a real human being.
Come on! She's not that good as an actress. Nothing exeptional. She also lacks some charisma on screen for some reason.
Never saw a movie with bad acting of her. She's beautiful, talented and yet she never gets the credits for all her work before and certainly after her movie " My cousin vinnie ". Underrated and needs more recogntion.
Probably one of the most underrated actress of her generation... David Lynch used to describe her as a "broken doll" and that's what she is in one of the most moving and devastating scene in the cinema, th car crash scene in "Wild at Heart"... she was wonderful in "Twin Peaks" but I think that she does bad carreer choices after her big break...perhaps one day, she will have a good part where she will show us how much she is talented. Now, I'm happy to see her again in Twin Peaks's new season
I agree. This beautiful woman is too underrated as an actress. Loved her acting in the movie " Diary of a hitman " and she was so sensual in her acting in the B-movie " Meridian ". Despite her few roles in descent movies and the twin peaks series she's remaining one of my favorite actresses.
Just one thing - Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks.
Sherilyn deserved more interesting roles than she had
The Newcomers
I can't believe that she didn't get a nomination at the Oscars 2017 for her acting in the movie " Arrival ". The movie itself did get nominations but she ( once again ) wasn't even nominated for best leading actress. The overrated Meryl Streep did get ( as usual ) a nomination ( undeserved ) for best leading actress. It should have been the other way ' round. Why, Hollywood? Amy Adams deserve an oscar!
Like Naomi Watts this very talented and beautiful actress stays underrated. Every movie she's in is a Delight to see. I really don't know what goes in the head of this Hollywood executives. They seem to focus on less talented actresses and nobody really knows why. They should at least let her win an oscar because she really deserves it.
This is still true, although I think things are picking up for Amy. She's never had a problem getting work but until this past couple years or so has had trouble getting female leads. I do think that is starting to change after getting big roles in the Master, American Hustle, Trouble With the Curve...
Peta Wilson is in a stratosphere of her own. She is THE Goddess among actresses. No actress in the World has ever matched her talent, charisma, screen presence and beauty. Look at her eyes, they can totally burn thru and melt anything and send a message like laser beams, and they are so full of goodness, compassion, honesty, sense of justice, ethics, intelligence and raw beauty that she totally owns the silver screen by just being there. Hollywood is scared of her. Her raw talent and charisma is in a class of her own, unmatched by any other actress and in the size of Mount Ayers. Her Charisma and screen presence is so great that it's probably difficult for any other Hollywood actresses to keep their popularity in comparison. The acting in LFN was a masterpiece. that's why LFN is the best Nikita ever, the extraordinary acting from the cast is the best with LFN. In every scene Peta totally owns the screen. that's maybe why Hollywood has never given her the chance of star roles her exceptional talent, charisma and beauty deserves. She is too good and to talented. The other established actresses in Hollywood would probably have felt too challenged. They are probably scared of her. They felt the need to protect their space. Peta would steal the show. They can not match her level in any way. It's a powerplay and they haven too much power and a lot to say not to let anyone in that would overshine them with light years of greater talent, charisma and beauty than they have. Peta Wilson is in a unchallenged class of her own as the queen of all actresses and will always be.
Without a doubt!
She was cute in War of the Worlds
Would definitely tap that caboose
Why is she on this list?!? She gets way too much attention! Take her off!
She is equally great at drama as in comedy. Often in Will&Grace she displayed dramatic intensity in her funniest moments. In the Starter Wife, she shows her incredible acting range in her character Molly Kagan's dream sequences: spoofs of Dirty Harry, Hello Dolly, Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, etc. Debra has a great singing voice, even when kidding around in Will&Grace. I loved her in movie roles: The Wedding Date, Along Came Polly, A Walk in The Clouds, etc. (even if the movies weren't always great. She's beautiful, as well. I think she's extremely underrated.
I see her compared to other actresses active today and she stands out. There's a lot of nuance and subtlety to her performances. I think Debra is closer to Meryl Streep in talent.
She is so versatile as an actress. Loved all her films and T.V. shows. Totally underrated!
