Kathy Bates - Misery

I was going to say Uma Thurman in Kill Bill but despite the slaughter I'm not sure she counts as a Villianess?

Ross’ wife in Friends. Had an affair, took custody of their child, didn’t take his surname. Awful character.

Not cinema I know.

Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest would be another good shout.

Even if can't say Thurman, Kill Bill does have some terrific villainesses, with Lucy Liu and Darryl Hannah, as well as the young assassin.

Rose the Hat in Doctor Sleep
Not a particularly great film but an excellent performance from Rebecca Ferguson.
