The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama is a Golden Globe Award presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). The award honors the best performance by an actress in a drama television series.
It was first awarded at the 19th Golden Globe Awards on March 5, 1962, under the title Best TV Star – Female, encompassing performances in comedy and drama television series, to Pauline Frederick. The nominees for the award announced annually starting in 1963. In 1969, the award was split into the drama and comedy categories, presented under the new title Best TV Actress – Drama and in 1980 under its current title.
Since its inception, the award has been given to 50 actresses. Angela Lansbury has won the most awards in this category, winning four times, and received ten nominations for the awards, the most in the category; all of her wins were for the series Murder, She Wrote, which therefore holds the record for series with the most wins in the category. The record for series with the most different actresses winning the award is held by The Crown, for which three actors each won the award once: Claire Foy, Olivia Colman, and Emma Corrin.
