10 Fearsome Movie Women You'd Never Mess With

6. Veda Pierce - Mildred PierceAB-01-annblyth-mildredpierce Veda Pierce is much more than your average 16-year-old spoiled brat. Well, that's only somewhat true. Veda is really not much more than a shallow, materialistic, rude girl constantly harassing her mother, who is wrapped around Veda's pinky-raised finger. However, Veda is a home-wrecker and murderer as well. She has an affair with her own step-father, the man Veda's mother, Mildred, lovelessly married in order to provide for and hopefully appeal to her daughter. However, it is this same man who Veda shoots when he refuses to marry her, proving just how upset this vain teenager can become about not getting what she wants. Though Mildred as a selfless and caring parent would disagree for most of the movie, Veda is a mother's -- and viewer's -- worst nightmare.
