I would nominate Jane Fonda. She has that vibe of resistance to authority. Altho Sally Field comes to mind also (remember that movie where she stood up in her machine shop with her hand printed message UNION held high?).
What actress could do it best?

(63,769 posts)I heard once that Hillary Clinton wanted Streep to play her (when asked) which rather bemused Streep who said "She may not like the way I played her" which wasn't meant as a slur to Hillary, just an observation on her method of acting.

(8,144 posts)play her, except when shes a younger character. Fonda, like Pelosi, is still glamorous, but can portray the toughness, the command.
