I think that Vivian Leigh was uniquely brilliant in every role she ever played. If I had to pick one I'd pick "Streetcar"
Also, the ones that come to my mind right now are
Meryl Streep in "Sophie's Choice"
Glenn Close in "Dangerous Liaisons"
Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard"
Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia"
Harvey Fierstein in "Torch Song Trilogy"
Al Pacino in "Scarface" AND "Scent of a woman"
and I know I may get flamed for this, but I still remember how mesmerised I was, when, years ago, I saw Leonardo DiCaprrio's performance in "The Basketball Diaries".
All my choices are of course subjective.
Take care
