10) Claire Underwood – House of Cards

Robin Wright plays Claire Underwood, the political woman who brings cold, calculating sass to House of Cards. As a political powerhouse, Claire's words are sharp and precise, and she gives them chilling composure sometimes. Her ability to manipulate any situation and control things merely with a look or some lines of dialogue makes this character very formidable. But Claire's sass is in no way loud or garish; it's subtler, more strategic, and commanding. Her unyielding ambition and ice-cold self-confidence set her apart as one of the most unforgettable female leads on television.
