Adham asked:

Who do you think would portray Mrs. Sigsby best in the TV series? (IMO Tilda Swinton)

James Kittredge Melissa Leo was my head canon Mrs. Sigsby from the beginning of the book and pretty much stuck with me all the way through.
Michele Dionne Tilda Swinton - maybe too tall but..sorry I read the question 1st without your IMO...too funny we picked the same.
Martina Vašková I know it doesn´t corespond with the description given in a book, but I was picturing Umbridge and couldn´t get rid of it.
Monica Jane Lynch would be perfect.
Susan Frances McDormand!
James Wurth Sigourney Weaver's my choice!
Tammi Asay I also imagined Tilda Swinton
Beth I'd love to see Helen Mirren play a despicable character.
Ashley Glen Close... but Melissa Leo is also a good shout from the comments..
Lynsey Gillian Anderson was mine!
Mirkat I wasn't picturing any particular actress. She's described as looking anorexic, with thinning hair as a result of her anorexia. I agree Tilda Swindon could pull it off, though she might be too young. Maybe Valerie Maffey would be a good choice:

Megan I was thinking Jessica Lange, honestly.
Chloe I had a vision in my mind but cannot say who it was - An aging poorly trout.
