13. Sissy Spacek
After an Oscar win in the 70s, Sissy Spacek continued her strong run with 80s films like ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ (1980). Her ability to completely inhabit every role, from country singers to ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances, made her an enduring figure in the decade’s cinema. In ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter,’ Spacek portrayed country music legend Loretta Lynn, delivering a performance that earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress (en.wikipedia.org).
