- Mary Tyler Moore as “Laura Petrie” on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-1966)
- Diana Rigg as “Emma Peel” on The Avengers (1965-1968)
- Yvonne Craig as “Batgirl/Barbara Gordon” on Batman (1967-1968)
- Jaclyn Smith as “Kelly Garrett” on Charlie’s Angels (1976-1981)
- Portia de Rossi as “Lindsay Bluth Funke” on Arrested Development (2003-2006)5)
- Leah Remini as “Carrie Heffernan” on The King of Queens (1998-2007)
- Yunjin Kim as “Sun-Hwa Kwon” on Lost (2004-2010)
- Christina Hendricks as “Joan Holloway/Joan Harris” on Mad Men (2007-present)
- Alison Brie as “Annie Edison” on Community (2009-present)

I’m sure I’m forgetting some good ones, but that should be enough to get an argument going.
