Pick: What's your favorite TV role from these classic TV actresses?
Choose between the leading ladies of TV.
Over time, we've had the double delight of watching some of our favorite TV actresses join casts on entirely different shows. Sometimes these shows would be decades apart. For others, they'd leap directly from one show to the next. Then there were those ambitious actresses who held down two roles at once. There's so much to admire, from the 1950s right up to today.
So to celebrate these dependably dramatic and tremendously funny female forces of the small screen, we're asking you to choose between their biggest defining roles.
Scroll through our favorite actresses from classic TV and see how many others agree with you on which characters truly were the leading ladies.
