She may not be a standard villainess, but she's a hell of a femme fatale. Barbara Steele in anything is pretty good, too. The (still to this day) uncredited young girl who portrayed the sinister alchemist's daughter, Shrike, in THE THREE WORLDS OF GULLIVER, gave a demonic child performance that rivals Patty McCormack's turn as THE BAD SEED.
Lelia Loban	Evil mommies: Ma Jarrett	#28	[-]
Posts: 5878 Apr 21 01 12:25 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	One of my personal favorite villainesses is Ma Jarrett (Margaret Wycherly), doting mommy of the psychotic gangster Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) in the 1949 film noir, WHITE HEAT. Cagney's performance is so brilliant that I think Wycherly's sometimes gets overlooked. Ma's memorable perversion of mother love (with a strong hint of incestuous sensuality) makes her murder a credible reason for the still-dependent Cody finally to snap, from a state of mind where there's method in his madness to a mental chaos so out of control that he loses the ability to act in his own self-interest.

Those kinds of things make me nervous. I like the older horror stuff because it brought me to another place and it wasn't real. Louise Fletcher's character of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest scared me, she was so cold and I guess Louise Fletcher did a great job of acting because I never liked her since seeing her in that role.

Jessica Walter in PLAY MISTY FOR ME fits the category, too. Bates is a non-glamorous actress who turns in consistently good performances. She was great in PRIMARY COLORS. Fletcher's done some good work in BRAINSTORM and the remake of INVADERS FROM MARS, among others, but doesn't seem to project the commanding way Bates does.

Sometimes I think about when my parents get older and they are both 71 and with age, if anything has to happen to them, I can handle physical limitations, but I can't handle mental limitations. Senility scares me.
