Mrs. McBride (The Perfect Nanny)

Mrs. McBride (Katherine Helmond; 1929-2019) was a villainess from the 2000 film The Perfect Nanny. She was the mother of the film's main villainess, Andrea McBride, with Andrea's backstory revealing her mother as having been a cruel and emotionally abusive woman.
Following her husband and Andrea's father leaving them, Mrs. McBride began making her daughter do everything for her, even forbidding her from going to school due to Andrea's mental instability making her an outcast. In adulthood, Andrea was forced to work with her mother as she began using cons to make money, working alongside Andrea's husband Troy. The film's opening had Andrea attempting suicide after learning Troy was cheating on her, resulting in her being institutionalized.
After being released, Andrea decided to escape her mother and husband's strangleholds by earning the nanny position for Dr. Robert Lewis, and began killing anyone who became a threat to Robert or her delusional quest to become his wife. As the film progressed, Troy went to Andrea's mother for help in tracking Andrea down, with Mrs. McBride using the romance novel subscription Andrea used to find her. Troy found Andrea and attempted to make her come home with him, with Andrea appearing to acqueisce before killing Troy after having him stop to let her use the bathroom, pushing him off a cliff. After encountering Robert's daughter Fawn (who was investigating Andrea due to growing suspicious of her) and claimed not to know Andrea, Mrs. McBride found her car where Andrea disposed of it, with blood on the steering wheel allowing her to realize that her daughter had killed Troy.
Mrs. McBride then went to the Lewis house and surprised Andrea by waking her up as she slept on the couch, alarming Andrea. After expressing apparent relief in Andrea killing Troy and revealing how Fawn came to ask about Andrea, Mrs. McBride revealed her intentions of having Andrea provide for her with Robert's wealth. When Robert arived home, Mrs. McBride appeared to leave out the back door, only for Andrea to return to the kitchen to find her mother was still there. It was then that the evil Mrs. McBride revealed her full intentions to force Andrea to provide her with regular payments, threatening to tell Robert the truth about Andrea if she refused and blasting her daughter as dim-witted and ungrateful due to her killing Troy and threatening her illegal business. Andrea snapped at her mother and proclaimed that she hated her, with her callous mother boasting that she was "sick in the head again" and would be placed back in the mental hospital. Finally driven to the edge by her mother's words, Andrea killed her mother by stabbing her with a meat fork.
