From Lucille Bluth to Tanya McQuoid, the glamorously wealthy dame has become one of our favorite character tropes! Join us as we explore why these eccentric, out-of-touch women captivate us despite (or because of) their moral ambiguity. Whether they're powerful matriarchs or solo tour-de-forces, these characters exude a confidence and privilege that's endlessly entertaining. We examine iconic figures like Emily Gilmore, Victoria Ratliff, Cruella de Vil, and Moira Rose, discussing how their wealth grants them the freedom to be unapologetically themselves. These complex women, often portrayed by beloved veteran actresses, offer rare representations of empowered older women in media. Which rich dame is your favorite?
