Marge Gunderson (FARGO, 1996)

How many heroines can get to the bottom of a convoluted kidnapping case with folksy aplomb and take down an axe-murderer all while 7 months pregnant? Marge Gunderson may only be a small town heroine, but she’s a heroine that audiences love to love. FARGO earned 7 Oscar nominations and 2 wins for Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay.
