Not from a rom/com.
Was the female lead role.
Not a musical, though there is one notable song
Not a sports-themed movie
Made in the 1970s
The highest award won was for Best Supporting Actress (for this role); the film is in the National Film Registry.

One nitpick- Madalyn Kahn was nominated as Best Supporting ACtress, and probably deserved it… but the award went to Ingrid Bergman for a lackluster performance in Murder on the Orient Express. Ingrid had been sort of blackballed in Hollywood afetr she left her husband for Roberto Rosselini, and the Oscar was probably Hollywood’s way of saying, “All is forgiven.”
Okay… I have one, for the letter** S**
