[2harts4ever]

i had forgotten that patricia wettig won TWO emmys for her role as nancy on thirtysomething. she was wonderful! also, sada thompson was brilliant as tough matriarch kate on family. that was truly one of the best shows of the 70s!

gosh i miss good television!

[mlc2005]

Allison Janney all the WAY!!! The greatest female role of them all, played to perfection!!!!!

[mensahcarrelle]

gillian anderson and mariska hargitay are my girls :)

[thames5]

I still think angela lansbury should have won at least ONE. i mean does tyne daly really deserve 4?

[MaarkW]

You go Miss Ellie!!

[victoriabenn]

Barbara Stanwyck rocked!

[MsTexas73]

Linsay deserved to win that year. The first year of Bionic Woman was FAB. Sada Thompson deserved to win...like Michael Learned, she is another underrated actress. She was phenomenal as Kate Lawrence in Family.

Babara Bel Geddes was the ONLY one on Dallas to win an Emmy (of those fortunate to be nominated) She won for the awesome two part episode "Mastectomy". I always felt that Linda Gray was cheated out of the Emmy for the eps dealing with her hitting rock bottom with her alcoholism.

[johnyzero2000]

It's a shame and travesty that Melissa Leo and Angela Lansbury aren't in this mix. The Emmys are pathetic sometimes.

[starryxblue]

MARISKA!

I kinda love her ;)

[Martipando]

Lindsay Wagner is the best...

[JESSESPENCERFOREVER]

patricia arquette < the best woman of the world

[mirrenfan2]

[mouni9248]

[emmyjo720]

Allison Janney, Gillian Anderson, Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly all truely great actors

[laudergee]

TELL ME WHY THERE WAS NOT ANY BLACK WOMEN ON TV - THAT DESERVED A MENTION - SHAME ON THE PEOPLE THAT VOTEDOR WORKWED ON THIS SHOW ,

gordon a white scotsman who sees through white middle class america

[RocyMartinez]

Lindsay Wagner, Gillian Anderson and Mariska Hargitay are the best!!!

Gillian is the youngest actress to win this award?? Because Lindsay Wagner have 28 years old in 1977 and Gillian have 29 in 1997.

[lauraonbway]

Allison Janney! YAY! She's phenomenal.  I know this is for Best Actress, but the total four Emmys she won for the same role is incredible--these two plus the two in the supporting actress category. She's my favorite!

Also adore Tyne Daly!

[mirrenfan2]

Thanks for watching! I agree with you. I was so glad Allison Janney won all those awards. I'm glad you like Tyne Daly so much! :)

[grumpytosnowwhite]

I know, Allison Janney is like...an acting Einstein. You could not even force yourself to remember there was an actor under CJ...definitely deserved all four emmys.

[grumpytosnowwhite]

BTW, can anyone tell me what the name of the music is?

[mirrenfan2]

"Conquest of Paradise" by Vangeli

[grumpytosnowwhite]

Thanks alot!

[mirrenfan2]

You're welcome! :)

[sternovirus]

allison janney,,, shes really into transistion,,, i can see that... hehe

[hulkwolf1971]

Tyle Daly swelled up in later years.

[mirrenfan2]

I don't care. She's a fabulous actress with a beautiful face. :)

[hulkwolf1971]

Was!

[smellysocks85]

Tyne Daly, Tyne Daly, Tyne Daly......I was wondering if Sharon Gless was ever going to get it! Love Tyne though....And Mariska, Allison, Edie and Sally too!!

[lonefairy]

So Gillian is still the youngest actress to win this award..!?

[saskabush2006]

@lonefairy I doubt it. Lindsay Wagner was also 28 at the time she won hers.

[JoshFi]

I never realised how many of the lead actress emmys were multiple winners. from 1983 to 2007 (24 years) There were only 12 different women (Tyne Daly, Sharon Gless, Dana Delaney, Patricia Wettig, Kathy Baker, Sela Ward, Edie Falco, Allison Janney were all multiple winners. As much as I love all of these women thats one thing I don't like about the Emmy Voters. They tend to pick the same people over and over again. But this year (pending a nomination) I think we will see Glenn Close win!

[SVUlove93]

WHOOP!

MARISKAA!!!!!

[thumper6988]

This was very well put together. After looking at all the winners in the 70s I am kinda of shocked not to see one win for Karen Grassle who played Caroline Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie.

[mirrenfan2]

Yeah, she was good. :)

[MsTexas73]

@thumper6988 I agree about karen Grassle...but she was always up against powerhouse Michael Learned and then the one year Michael won, Angie Dickinson was also a nominee...sometimes there's just stiff competition. I remember in the 80s I used to get mad when Tyne or Sharon ALWAYS won because there were just SO MANY great shows on with great stars who also deserved to win.

[amlt1966]

Tyne Daly is my favorite.One of the most decorated actresses and musical stars ever.She's a legend.Brilliant in everything she does.

[mirrenfan2]

She's my favourite in this list too! Thanks for watching! :D

[Sammie1Million]

Allison Janney is a LEGEND

[mirrenfan2]

I Know. Isn't she great in "The West Wing" ?!! Thanks for commenting! :)

[oliviabensonfanatic]

i almost screamed when i saw Mariska Hargitay. She is my role model. Omg, i LOVE HER!

[sarahliz2455]

michael leanerd gotta be the best ever!! u gotta love this women

[mirrenfan2]

I do! It's so nice to see there actually are other Michael Learned fans out there! :D

[diamante04]

Another Michael Learned fan here! I especially loved her on "The Waltons".

[diamante04]

I absolutely agree...Michael Learned was phenomenal on "The Waltons", and definitely deserved the Emmy's she won.

[spitfire9b]

Michael Learned is a fantastic actress who has been underappreciated for most of her career. Even today, she's still got it!

[diamante04]

I am in 100% agreement! :-) She's extremely talented and so believable in every role.

[chelseaxwinters]

Patricia's the best actress ever

[jdale1259]

Lots of work went into this and it shows. Having said that, if you ever do a re-mix, it is E-D-I-E Falco, not Eddie. :)

[mirrenfan2]

Oops! I'm so sorry! I made another error somewhere else but I won't tell you where. Lol!

[hollykitten]

Fascinating! Great to see Cagney & Lacey

Allison Janney and Sharon Gless are my favs!!

[mirrenfan2]

I'm so glad you like it!

[katz22uk]

Cagney and Lacey! Yay! The opening music alone was worth watching the show for - were they just taking turns for a while there?! :-D

Personal favourites? Allison Janney, Sally Field and the FABULOUS Gillian!!!!!

[mirrenfan2]

Yes, Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless are favorites of mine. I also like Michael Learned, Christine Lhatti, Sally Field, and Alison Janney.  I'm so glad you like my video! Isn't it great that Tyne and Sharon got all those well deserved awards?!

[SueSnell]

[marianne0424]

MARISKA

!!!!!!

[sausagedg]

Interesting. I cheered when Sharon Gless came on of course! :)

Just curious, why did you decide to do this video?

[mirrenfan2]

I got the Idea to do this video after seeing the video "Oscar winners - Best Actress (from 1927 to 2006)" Also, I've always been a big Emmy fan because I love good TV. I generally prefer TV over movies because I think there's more good TV than there are good movies. Thanks for commenting!

[joaopumper]

post the winners for actress COMEDY! =DDD

[mirrenfan2]

I will. Thanks for commenting!
