Yeah, she was pretty key. Maybe Fonda, Christie, Dunaway, and Ellen Burstyn are at the top (although Burstyn's second half of the decade didn't match her first).

Dunaway, Keaton, MacLaine, Burstyn
Hell, even throw Streisand in the mix.

I love Desperate Characters, but I don't know about MacLaine in the '70s. (Didn't know--or had forgotten--she turned down The Exorcist.)
Sally Fields later in the decade...I'll start a new thread; Gene's losing his.

I'd add Liv Ullmann (two Oscar nods) and a fairly major cultural force for most of the decade.

MacLaine sat out the middle of the decade doing famous person stuff (travelled the world, did a Vegas revue) before coming back with The Turning Point.
