Both Tippi Hedren performances. I think she's excellent in both "The Birds" and "Marnie".

I'll say Fonda who should've won for The Wrong Man as well. Fonda's great, but Vera Miles stayed with me even more, absolutely heartbreaking. Additionally, James Stewart, Rear Window (I don't know how underrated this performance really is, but I rarely see people talk about it and I would consider it to be his best work, and that's saying a lot) and George Sanders, Foreign Correspondent.

Robert Walker in Strangers on a Train
I think he's pretty terrific, in one of the finest performances in any Hitchcock film. He brings to the role a certain craftiness, a creeping delusional innocence... it's an unexpected and nuanced portrayal of a role that could've been played with thudding villainry by a lesser actor.
And the parallels btwn Walker's life and his character Bruno are quite similar in an extremely sad but fascinating way.
Also...... he looks exactly like Joel Edgerton.

A lot of great mentions, I would add John Dall in Rope.

James Stewart in Rope comes to mind. I don't think his performances in that film is as appreciated as it should be.

Agree with Jimmy Stewart in Rope and Tippi Hedren in Marnie. People don't seem to talk about Joan Fontaine in Rebecca very much either.

I think Joan Fontaine's Oscar-winning role in Suspicion is extremely underappreciated. I'd also submit Suzanne Pleshette in The Birds and Martin Balsam in Psycho as people who deserve more recognition than what they get.

Vera Miles as Lila Crane in Psycho. Her reaction to finding Mother in the cellar, and when she hits the light, is quite iconic.

Edmund Gwenn in EVERYTHING!
I especially liked him in Foreign Correspondent.
The whole cast of The Trouble with Harry is underrated, IMO. Shirley Maclaine stands out, but even the Beave is a riot in that movie.
