<p>But just because a character is scheming and manipulative doesn't mean that the actor responsible for it didn't give a commendable performance -- if it did, we wouldn't remember the Oscar-nominated work of Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity (1944), Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven (1945), Anne Baxter in All About Eve (1950), Nancy Kelly in The Bad Seed (1956), Bette Davis in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), Faye Dunaway in Network (1976), Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction (1987), Kathy Bates in Misery (1990), Sharon Stone in Casino (1995), Annette Bening in American Beauty (1999), Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and the list goes on.</p>
