* Eleanor Prentiss Shaw of the [[The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film)|1962]] and [[The Manchurian Candidate (2004 film)|2004]] ''The Manchurian Candidate'' films (known in [[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)|the novel]] the films were based on as [[Adaptation Name Change|Eleanor Iselin]]).

Eleanor figures as a villain in both the novel and the original film version.

* Commodus from ''[[Gladiator (film)|Gladiator]]'' had a sister complex. The sister in question, Luciana, was appropriately horrified.
* Heavily implied in both versions of ''[[Scarface (1932 film)|Scarface]]''.
