Barbara Hershey
Hershey has proven herself to be one of the most versatile actors in modern history. She struggled to get rid of her "hippie" reputation in Hollywood, so she completely shifted gears and only took roles that would drive her further away from that persona. She won several awards for her depiction of Mary Magdalene in The Last Temptation of Christ, and that helped her become pickier towards the tail end of her nearly 50 years in the industry.
