Poll: AFI Top 50 (Overrated) Greatest Screen Legends - Women

A poll by TheMovieSmith
Most fans of cinema know of the AFI 100 lists released from 1998-2008. Many see the AFI 100 Years...100 Stars which featured only 50 names (25 men and 25 women) as a definitive list on the greatest actors and actresses of all-time.

However, since everyone has different tastes there may be at least one name on the list they don't agree with or at the least they'll question. That said, who is your pick as the most overrated actress on the list that you would remove?
