Bette Davis in Sunset Boulevard, or Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Or Of Human Bondage.
Katherine Hepburn in Suddenly Last Summer. And her son. He trolled Liz in a transparent bathing suit to attract third world young men for him to prey upon, and in the end they mobbed him on the beach and tore him apart. We learn this as Liz is confined as a mental patient in Kate's house. Liz is fighting for her sanity wirh a handsome straight doc as Kate is a very creepy domineering narcissistic mother figure of the sort who turns sons gay (that was the theory).
J Edgar was a compassionate, human portrayal of a narcissist.
