Yes, Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár (...and Elizabeth I, Katharine Hepburn, Jasmine Francis, Carol Aird, Phyllis Schlafly, Dr. Lilith Ritter, etc.

) inspired this thread.

Please, share who you think are the actresses who do delicious diva histrionics with the best of them!

Judy Davis

She came to mind first... and her perf in A Little Thing Called Murder. Also, Dianne Wiest in Bullets Over Broadway.... Ingrid Bergman in The Visit.... Anna Magnani in The Passionate Thief.... and Catherine O'Hara/Annie Murphy in Schitt's Creek. For everybody: What "diva" performances jump to mind for you?

Also we must mention Huppert...... who is a mastermind of suggesting and blackening diva qualities within her characters.

Arkadina in 'The Seagull' is probably my favorite "diva" character - In terms of filmed versions, Annette Bening and Lee Grant were both delicious in the role. Simone Signoret, not as much.
