Sally Field Sigourney Weaver Sissy Spacek Susan Sarandon
Pour moi:
Spacek: Can never fully shake her spooky woman-child energy, or her distinctly Texan drawl, but she has arguably the most interesting body of work out of the 4 and her peaks, e.g., 3 Women, Carrie, In the Bedroom, all demonstrate a performative talent that is at once earthy and completely malleable to the director's particular vision.
Sarandon: Sublimely natural at her very best, but also doesn't coast her on her start quality. Time and time she again brings grounded power to her performances, and even if she lacks the transformative abilities of say, Streep or Close, she makes up for this with her palpable honesty and emotional presence.
Weaver: A gifted comedienne, arguably even more so than she is a dramatic thespian. Has a tendency to be clinical and even wooden but her best performances e.g., Gorillas in the Mist, Working Girl, The Ice Storm, showcase the peerless intelligence and command that she can bring to the screen.
Field: I place her last not having seen Norma Rae or Sybill, arguably her most lauded work. IMO she's the most "basic" out of the four, and her filmography is littered with a lot of trash which doesn't help her case. But when she's on she can be a formidable presence and it's hard to argue the level of heart and gusto that she can bring given the right material.

Sissy Spacek Susan Sarandon Sigourney Weaver Sally Field
I've said this a lot but Sissy Spacek is one of the few actors - male or female that has no discernible vanity or ego in her work. Like I don't now what she's like irl but there is nothing false or showy you can find when breaking down her work. That is actually kind of absurd - the very thing you respond to in actors is there charisma - Spacek operates a whole different way and on a whole different wavelength. It's uncanny......
Sarandon is more or less the disciplined (or more pedestrian) Lange (or less diva-ish Lange) - her personal background is very bohemian but her acting training is very precise and thorough. She just gets overshadowed because she's in the age where you had Streeep, Lange, Close and it's hard to match up with them in a lot of ways - and all 3 of them are unique - Sarandon is a little bit of all 3 of her peers.
I could swap these 2:
Weaver - Works across genres like no one else here, one of the few performers nodded for Oscar/Emmy/Tony and she won none......which is kind of cruel. She's like Michelle Pfeiffer to me in I think she's slightly overrated by a small group of people but that's rating the people who like her not actually rating her. She could really do action roles and some people are knocked out by her ability to genre hop.
Field - I mean she was Gidget .........what's not to like: Girl + Midget = Gidget. She's a fine actress, was also the sexiest of this bunch imo around the time of Smokey and The Bandit .....like the amount of times she had to reinvent or get passed things in her career - not bad stuff but things she refused to be defined as "just Gidget" or "just The Flying Nun" or "just Burt Reynolds girlfriend" or "just Sybill" .......is kind of amazing.

We all have our off-consensus opinions - Spacek and Weaver are two actresses for whom I've just never understood the adulatory love.
