My favourite is Kyoko Kagawa (for Sansho the Bailiff, also in Chikamatsu, High and Low, The Lower Depths etc).

17 into remaining 9 won't go. I'll suggest these -some finest/some famous/some fancied:- 

Kinuyo Tanaka
Gong Li
Isabelle Adjani
Leonor Silvera (for Abraham Valley)
Setsuko Hara
Machiko Kyo
Marlene Dietrich
Liv Ullmann
Ana Torrent
Julianne Moore
Louise Brooks (for Pandora's Box)
Jodie Foster
Meryl Streep
Lillian Gish
Katherine Hepburn
Bette Davis
Marilyn Monroe

I must add that Emilie Dequenne was quite outstanding in Rosetta.
