I thought I’d finish this trilogy of posts on forceful female characters from mainstream media with a slightly offbeat choice – Kate Kaplan from the Blacklist. She plays a cleaner and problem solver. Someone who can dispose of dead bodies for you or, when necessary, find the dead body that you’ve carelessly misplaced. She’s terse, low key, awesomely efficient and strangely hot (to me at least). You can see a montage of her in action here.
I have to admit it’s weird that, in a show featuring a hot FBI agent and a hot Israel agent, I go for the spinster in tweed and horn rimmed glasses. I guess there’s just something about a forceful, no nonsense, understated attitude that does it for me.
