The Meanies of Life: TV and film bullies we love to hate

Alison Amgrim (right), with Allison Balson in 'Little House on the Prairie'

Nellie Oleson

(Alison Arngrim, right) in "Little House on the Prairie"
Distinguishing marks: Ringlets, pinafores
Weapons of choice: Insinuation, put-downs, whining
Why she's here: To prove that all little frontier girls aren't as sweet as Laura Ingalls. Playing the viper-tongued daughter of the town grocer, Arngrim was a blast of welcome bile in a field of TV corn. The name of the actress's current website? "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch."
Bully rating: Two fists
(Everett Collection)
