Female Actor In a Leading Role

8. Helen Mirren, “Hitchcock”

The long-suffering wife of Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins), Alma Reville is no wallflower. It’s Alma who suggests killing off the leading lady of “Psycho” early on, then recommends casting Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins. When Hitch is too sick to get to the set, it’s Alma who fights off studio interference. While the couple may worry about each other’s infidelities, Mirren and Hopkins also make you feel the years of love between the two.
