Bad Faye Dunaway movies, she will possibly discuss.

Both Faye Dunaway and Mickey Rourke made a big comeback in "Barfly", her best movie in years. No big nominations but it put her back on the Hollywood map.

That shitfest she did with Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp. Christ, that was worse than Mommie Dearest.

The one where she plays the kidnapped church lady. Aimee Semple McPherson.

You mean the one that was going on during the Lloyd Webber stupidity?!

That shitty Kusturica movie she was so brilliant in, that was the hit of all the Europe and Cannes, but not well sold in this country.

Her very special guest role in Road To Avonlea.

I'll give $100 to anyone who has the guts to walk up to Faye and mention "Dunston Checks In" to her.

LOL R7, she would lie thru her caps and deny she was ever in that one.

Eyes of Laura Mars is a 1970s campfest.

I wish she'd just own "Mommie Dearest" the way Patty Duke eventually accepted "Valley of the Dolls". Think of the huge gay audiences she would get for "A Night With Faye: Hollywood Royalty".

Faye really enjoyed doing "Dunston Checks In". In fact, she loved that movie so much that she took her simian co-star's photo to her plastic surgeon and said "That's what I want!"

R11 Very funny.

R-11 ROFLMAO!

When I'm at the butcher shop and Faye is there trying to push her way in demanding, "Excuse me, but where is the VIP express cashier. I'm in a hurry!" I always smile and jump up and down and tell her how much I love her and that her acting in THREE FACES OF EVE was the best.

Never seen "Hurry Sundown" but I hear it's pretty bad.

I loved "Puzzle of a Downfall Child"

I know this is about bad movies, but I can't help but saying how much I enjoyed her in 'Oklahoma Crude', 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Four Musketeers'. When Jane Fonda was on 'Watch What Happens Live', and her comment about Faye was 'sad', I couldn't help but agree. To be at the top of the game, as she was, and to then be turned into a mockery, is sad, even if she largely did it to herself.

I loved supergirl.

[quote] I enjoyed her in 'Oklahoma Crude', 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Four Musketeers'.

Oh, me too. And she dominates every scene she's in, in all three. That rind of neurosis worked well for her.

Remember the big lawsuit back then because "Three..." and "Four Musketeers" were crafted out of the footage from the same shoot -- so the actors weren't getting paid for two movies, just one. They fought back en masse. Wonder if that set the precedent for the "Lord of the Rings" thing and their pay.

Never heard that r19,not saying it isn't true. But trying to turn this thread into something about LOTR is so fifteen years ago. Let it go.

Oh, honey, you're talking to one of the few in the world who can't get through a "Lord of the Rings" movie. But the "Musketeers" thing is true and Faye was front and center in that lawsuit (Raquel too). It's biz talk.

Whatever you say "kipper" or is it "nat". ??????

R19, Just a few years earlier, Richard Donner's Superman and Superman II were shot at the same time although the actors weren't aware of what was going on. There were similar suits, the primary one being by Brando as Superman's father. The suits were settled but the legal precedents were complicated. The producers reshot large parts, but far from all, of Superman II with Richard Lester directing and Susannah York as Superman's mother replacing Brando in his scenes as Superman's father.

(Years later, a "Donner Cut" of Superman II was released but it had to include some Donner screen tests and some Lester footage as Donner had only been able to shoot roughly 75% of Superman II before he was fired from the project.)

At any rate, Alexander Salkind was the producer who had tried the same trick with both Superman and The Three Musketeers. All actors' contracts now include what is called the "Salkind Clause" which spells out in detail how many films the actor is being paid for.

^ Have to correct myself. The Three Musketeers preceded Superman. But producer Alexander Salkind tried the same stunt on both productions finally resulting in the "Salkind Clause" in actors' contracts to protect them from such shenanigans.

The actors knew on Superman they were making two films. Before II was completed the Salkinds ordered the focus be on releasing I to see if it would be a success. It was and work was finished on II, though some declined to return e.g. Gene Hackman. Brando wanted more money so his footage was not used in II.

Thanks r11 -- that was a look up Faye's ravaged nostrils I did NOT want.

Her absolute worst is Arizona Dream (1993) with Johnny Depp

Sorry to derail this thread, but I find this interesting. In all the years that movie contracts have been around, nobody thought to put in a clause that said footage may be used in only one movie?

I was the only TRUE star of Road to Avonlea.

Do you think her being difficult is what killed her career?

Why I never!! She was an absolute delight!

Beverly Hills Madam!

Check out her sizzle reel from "Cougar Club"!
