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?

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