Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's should be on the list.  Romance is one of the three genre choices for this film.

There are over 200 nominated actresses in romance movies, and that's only countig the leading category. You need some other parameters to cut off some of them or make several lists.

FYC:

Emma Stone in La La Land

Emma Thompson in Howards End

Jessica Tandy in Driving Miss Daisy

Ellen Burstyn in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl

Glenda Jackson in Women in Love

Marlee Matlin in Children of a Lesser God

Jane Fonda in Coming Home

Elizabeth Taylor in BUtterfield 8

Greer Garson in Mrs. Miniver

Bette Davis in Jezebel

Ingrid Bergman in Anastasia

Judy Holliday in Born Yesterday

Anna Magnani in The Rose Tatoo

Glenda Jackson in A Touch of Class

Loretta Young in The Farmer's Daughter

Janet Gyanor in 7th Heaven

Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle

Mary Pickford in Coquette

Katharine Hepburn in Morning Glory

Bette Davis in Dangerous

Olivia de Havilland in To Each his Own

Norma Shearer in The Divorcee

Simone Signoret in Room at the Top

All of them winners in comedy movies.

You might need to delete supporting actresses to make room for all of them

Paok,

Even if we consider the word in a broader sense, "Driving Miss Daisy" is a beautiful friendship story but  not a romance, unless you mean "emotional attachment" but then again there might be other winning performances that apply.

"'Mrs. Miniver" showed a true love between a woman and her husband but if there ever was a romance it was accessory to the film or maybe the real romance was the relationship between the son and Teresa Wright.

I'm not sure either about "Anastasia", there's the usual aristocratic courtship etc. but it's not exactly remembered as a romantic film.

Some options FYC:

Holly Hunter in "The Piano" (the romance is with Harvey Keitel not Sam Neil)
Hillary Swank in "Boys Don't Cry" (definitely a romance with Chloé Sevigny)
Marion Cotillard in "La Vie en Rose" (not one but many romances and if only for that 'Marcel' scene she deserves to be there)

Cheers
