Hey, BB? she played that role on TV, not movies. But I’ll leave final judgment to someone else.

1. Margaret Rutherford (Jane Marple), _Murder, She Said_; _Murder Most Foul_; _Murder at the Gallop_; _Murder Ahoy_

I will leave the Bebe Neuworth question to @Elendil_s_Heir , who started the list, but if I can offer my opinion–in the Movie Marathon thread, TV shows don’t count.

My error, so I’ll withdraw it myself. Revised list:

**Actors/actresses who played the same role twice or more**

1. Michael Keaton (Ray Nicolette, DEA) - _Jackie Brown, Out of Sight_
2. Margaret Rutherford (Jane Marple), _Murder, She Said_; _Murder Most Foul_; _Murder at the Gallop_; _Murder Ahoy_
3. Sean Connery, as James Bond, in at least seven movies
4. Richard Kiel, as Jaws – _The Spy Who Loved Me_, _Moonraker_

He originated the role of ‘hulking, unspeaking henchman with metal teeth’ as Rease in the 1976 Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor film, _Silver Streak_.
