It's Madeline Kahn.

Problem is - which one? History of the World Part 1 is probably the winner, but there is an argument for both Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

Hard to argue with Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles as well.


This would be mine as well. She had a different level to her comedic zing.

I'm partial to Cameron Diaz in Something About Mary. She played that part to absolute perfection.

Bette Midler was pretty funny in Ruthless People. That's about the only one I can come up with not mentioned yet.

"Drop Dead Gorgeous" has a few IMO.

Allison Janney is good... but I think Ellen Barkin is even better as the white trash pageant parent (complete with beer can expolsion-fused to her hand).

Alexandra Holden as last year's "skinny" reigning queen is up there as well. Contestant Mary Johanson... NOT even a shred PC.


Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams deserves consideration as well.
