Faye Dunaway’s diva ways strike again

New salon, same old Faye Dunaway.

Last year, we reported that the “Bonnie and Clyde” star had broken up with her hairstylist because of a nasty spat over the bill.

Now we’re told that her antics at her new salon make the staff want to curl up and dye.

A source tells us the workers at the luxe Warren Tricomi on 58th Street have had it with Dunaway getting snippy with them.

“After moving her appointment 10 times during the day, she then yelled, ‘I’m ready now!’” says a source. “They’ve told Faye she can’t talk to them that way, and she asks, ‘Do you know who I am?’ … Then she screams, ‘I am Faye Dunaway!’ ”

We heard in addition to copping an attitude, she brings her infamous food scale — which she once memorably used at an amfAR gala — to appointments.

“She always comes in with a scale and measures out salad and other food — often dropping it everywhere and then yelling at the employees to clean it up because she might slip [on it],” says the source.

The salon’s Edward Tricomi tells us, “Faye is fine. I’ve known her 40 years or better. Look, everybody has their moments in time, but Faye is fine. She is not a problem.”

Tricomi added, “She isn’t any more pretentious than anyone else.”

Dunaway hung up on us when we called for comment.

Last year, the star stormed out of a salon over a $3,000 tab for hair extensions.

She told us at the time, “I’ve now paid the whole thing — but I will not be going back there because it is not the price they said it would be. So, I don’t know what to say to you except I didn’t throw a fit.”

OMG....this sounds soooooo typical of her!

Really, she has some disability “up there” and just never sees the big picture.

I know someone who was friendly with her for a while, who swears she has some mild form of autism or something. Like, she just. Doesn't. GET IT.

These tales of Faye’s bitchcraft are delicious. She’s awful now, but damn she was very beautiful and talented in her prime.

I remember she tried to claim her elderly acting coach’s rent-controlled apartment for herself after his deat, but got caught violating the residency requirements. Niiiiice.

They should have screamed back at her, "I am NOT one of your faaaaaaannnnnnssssss!!!!!!"

In which case she would have knocked them to the ground, and tried to choke them to death.

Faye cracks me the fuck up. She's such a nutjob.

I honestly don't get why she hates Mommie Dearest so much. It practically sends her into a rage!

But interestingly in that voice mail, she (on the other hand) doesn't understand why people ask her about Mommie Dearest so much.

The poor old bag doesn't realize that it's a camp classic. Surely, she never meant for it to be one.

She talked about it while promoting the film’s release. Then it was laughed off the screen, and she clammed up to run off to England for a decade, hoping it would all blow over.

r25 maybe they think Luna is impersonating both Faye AND the Moon!

Well, some people think the Moon is holographic and some people think it's just a huge klieg light and some people think all of our "reality" is a digital simulation and some people think the Moon is manmade. People believe so many things. Someone probably believes all of those things are true but about Faye Dunaway.

That is a fascinating interview at R29.

She seems like a very thoughtful and intelligent person, so it's surprising when I hear about her crazy antics.

However, when she mentioned that she did indeed feel a "kinship" with Joan Crawford, I thought to myself... oh, here we go.

There never WAS a “Faye Dunaway”! It was all a massive scam created by a gaggle of bored Hollywood housewives. Each time a film came along, one or the other would put on the mask and play Faye playing a role.

The role of “Faye” in interviews was played by Elinor Donahue.

The interview at R29 is wonderful simply because Faye is so candid, open, and honest.

Celebrities in the past didn't have a million p.r. people surrounding them, and filtering every word they said, as they do now.

Faye was answering Gene Shalit's questions as they came, and she thought about them, and answered them as she saw fit.

I love it.

I had tickets to see Sunset Blvd at the Schubert Theatre in LA. We were informed by the box office that Miss Dunaway would not be performing that day , and that we could get a refund or see the play with the Dunaway replacement. Like idiots my Ex and I got a refund. The folly of youth

Probably because he mentions his career at obe point as “interior designer.” But hus Instagram is totally straight, no hint of being gay. His girlfriend is a blonde woman, and he writes constantly about how much he adores her and what did he ever fo to deserve such a wonderful woman.

And honestly, he sounds just a wee but like he’s inherited a bit of the family crazy as well.

Faye was a total cunt in that interview. “Oh, Joan was THE big movie star of the 1930s! Oh, there were others like Garbo, but Joan was THE star!” No wonder Bette loathed her with force of a thousand suns. First Faye’s totally unprofessional behavior on the Aimee set, and then a giant diss from her.

Faye’s career came and went in less than 15 years. Bette was a star for 65 years.

I knew a famous costume designer who mentioned in a letter that Dunaway “blew” a major career...an allusion to cocaine. He also said she was “very neurotic”.

I’m sure she was a boozer, too, but I think it was drugs that sent her off the (Hollywood) rails in the late 70s.

Also, designer Irene Sharaff finally quit MOMMIE DEAREST, saying, “I will not work with that DRUG ADDICT!”

From the L.A. TIMES, before the Oscars .2 :

[quote] Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were waiting in the wings backstage at the Oscars, and Dunaway seemed nervous.

[quote] She noticed a camera snapping photos in her direction and became distressed. Even though the photographer said he was not taking her pictures, she shooed him away.

Poor Faye is a bundle of nerves. I agree R61 once you stop being a draw at the box office your power suffers greatly. You might get the odd chance at a great script or get lucky with a project over performing against expectations but you start getting discounted very easily.

Plus woman over a certain age no longer get the plum roles. Faye turned down some great roles early in her career which may have kept her on top a little longer.

I am sure she's very hard to deal with but I find her oddly endearing.

Yes, I will always have a soft spot for her, too, but she is [italic]wackadoodle.[/italic]

My (female) friend was gym buddies with her for a year or so, and found her fascinating...but kept her distance and wouldn’t work for her because the actress was obviously unstable.

My friend insists Dunaway must have some mild form of autism or SOMETHING, because she simply cannot relate to people in a normal way. She said it was like Dunaway was the type who needed to be shown those clinical drawings of emotions, like, “This is what a sad face looks like, this is an angry face...this face is not being threatening, it is just SMILING.”

Dunaway just doesn’t “get” other people, or what they’re doing. In a sense, she’s clueless.
