Name an actor/actress u consider to be a terrible actor/actress but gave a decent performance in a particular movie and please explain why

One that comes to mind is Zendaya in The Greatest Showman. I was expecting her acting to be absolutely horrible but it actually wasn't bad. It was still door no means a good performance but she was convincing and serviceable enough. She did perform some emotional moments pretty good. But there was plenty of traces of her bad acting in there because of how stiff and wooden she was a lot and A LOT of her line delivery was over-the-top and hammy. Still, she was decent in The Greatest Showman, though not good. I still consider her to be a TERRIBLE actress but her performance in The Greatest Showman was decent and serviceable. Almost every terrible actor/actress has at least one decent performance (Maybe even good if they're lucky enough) just like how almost every great actor/actress has at least one terrible performance. There are plenty of actresses that would've been better suited for the role of Anne Wheeler in The Greatest Showman, who would also be superior singers as well, but Zendaya's acting, as I've zei several times, in The Greatest Showman was decent.

Tbh no one comes to mind. But I do have an actress who I think is good but was put into an unfortunate role; and that would be Kristen Stewart.

Whenever I think of a talented actress who unfortunately gets into some crappy roles that make her acting suck (Snow White and especially Bella Swan), Kristen Stewart is who I immediately think of. She's a good actress, she's just unfortunately has been in some roles where she plays characters that were horribly written so her performance is total crap. Besides, playing Bella zwaan-, zwaan in Twilight would seriously damage any actresses reputation, no matter how talented she is. Makes me wonder how her life would've turned out if she never played Bella Swan, since she had a career in acting before Twilight.

That's what I'm saying. With a character written like Bella it's hard to really work with that. How do u breathe life into a character that really didn't have it (imo) in the first place. I liked a lot of her other movies. After getting rid of the bias I even thought that she was pretty decent as Snow.
