Film Clip Shows Dunaway Ordering Crew Member to 'Please Leave
Faye Dunaway's reputation for being hard to work with may just have been bolstered anew as a clip from the 1990s has emerged, showing the temperamental actor ordering a crew member to "please leave."
UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported that in the clip, filmed in 1996 as Dunaway was making a commercial, "Dunaway, now 83, can be seen ordering a crew member off set merely because she could see him."
The Mail rounded out the story, explaining that the ad was being made for Dunaway's "live stage show 'Master Class,' a play based on the life of opera singer Maria Callas..."
In the clip, "Dunaway glares at an unseen crew member behind the camera lens and says: 'Could you leave please, you're right in my eyeline.'"
Other snippets from the same shoot have also come to light, including one in which Dunaway carps at a crew member for calling, "Action!" before she is ready.

A bit too emotional but not unreasonable in her demand

It was for the crew member's own safety. Had he stayed in her eyeline too long she may have been tempted to feed.

I love her attitude! She just takes charge in every interaction. I'm sure she'd be annoying on a daily basis though.

R9, the trouble is she’s violent and full-blown crazy. She just announced that she’s bipolar and suffers from serious mental illness.

I still have the scar above my left eye where I got nicked by a thrown VHS cassette. Didn't duck fast enough outside the Video West.

I saw the clip- not flattering. She has not received AFI or Kennedy Center recognitions as her body of work would otherwise merit. You have to conclude that her peers do not respect her and/or no one wants to deal with her.

Worked with her in the nineties for one day. She was tough but not unreasonable. Also, don’t fuck with an actor’s eyeline. She was right in that clip.

She was a very beautiful young woman, and into middle age still beautiful and fit. I never understood what happened to her bottom teeth. Maybe it was genetics, but her bottom teeth became discolored in the 1980’s. That was surprising because she was so fastidious in her appearance.
