Tilda Swinton is renowned for undergoing radical makeovers for many of her roles. And in 2014, she did it again, morphing into this eccentric rich old woman named Madame D from Wes Anderson’s incredible film “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” The chameleon actress can play just about anything, as we’ve seen so far.
Madame D is an 84-year woman with an enviable will, she has countless liver spots and old lady lipstick. Tilda Swinton is a super-talented actress with an alien-like face who can blend easily into any character. Just take a look at her IMDB page. Not to mention, that move has an insane cast.
Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan)
In "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" actress Rachel Brosnahan takes on the role of a 1950s housewife who strikes gold as a dynamite stand-up comedian in a world full of men. The show gorgeously depicts New York City in the late 50s and early 60s, a pivotal time in American culture. Brosnahan perfectly plays the (at first) dutiful wife and mom during this conservative era.
Armed with delicious brisket and pearls, Midge finds herself drunkenly killing it on stage at dingy New York nightclubs. Evolving throughout the show, it's hard to get a sense of the actress, Rachel Brosnahan, who just keeps on making transformative performances.
Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown)
Child actress Millie Bobby Brown burst onto our screens as Eleven, the protagonist in the Netflix series "Stranger Things." With telekinetic powers, Eleven has been a victim of cruel lab experiments all her life, giving her a freakish appearance and pretty much zero social skills. Though slowly but surely she finds her way with the help of her trusted friends.
Still, Eleven in season one is very different from the actress who plays her, who, even as a young star is wonderfully graceful, and also has beautiful long hair! Another remarkable part is that Eleven is such an understated character, yet Millie is so bubbly and larger than life in reality.
Janice Ian (Lizzy Caplan)
"Mean Girls" is a classic for any millennial. Apart from the hilarious script, what makes it so memorable is the cast, which is full of amazing characters. And such an example is the emo/goth art freak, Janice Ian who gets her need for a Regina George revenge seriously ignited.
The 2004 film put actress Lizzy Caplan on the map. Fans soon discovered that their favorite high school reject was very different under that punky hairstyle and smoky eyes. In fact, Lizzy may have even been able to make it in The Plastics! Since then, Caplan has had a variety of interesting roles, even playing a young Annie Wilkes in the series "Castle Rock."
Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
Lena Headey and Cersei Lannister from "Game of Thrones" could not be more different. For starters, actress Lena Heady is covered in tattoos and is super cool and chic. She is also a staunch social activist, who fights for LGBTQ issues, human rights, and immigration-related matters, and has even dabbled in an organization that funds Alzheimer's research.
Basically, Heady is a really good person. On the other hand, Cersei goes about her reign with a cold heart and a somber face. She will destroy you without much thought and she has also had some extremely wrong relationships during her lifetime.
