Faye Dunaway: I Have Been A Devout Catholic Since The Beginning of My Career

OP thank you for mentioning me but please refer to me as Miss Dunaway in the future. TIA

That. Face.

Looks like she goes to her plastic surgeon every day.

She's coming to Broadway this summer. We should all attend with wire hangers.

Stunning and talented.

Actually OP, she has been and is.

I don't know about "since the begging of my career", but in her autobio Looking For Gatsby she talks about returning to the church in the mid nineties.

My favorite story about the Master Class tour took place in Chicago. Production had assigned someone to follow her to make sure she got to the theater on time. She would visit different churches in the city and would lose track of time. The person following her called the theater and said Faye stopped her car in the middle of the road, left it running and ran into a cathedral. Production then got a panicked phone call from Faye inside the church telling them someone was following her but she thinks she gave them the slip!

Love Faye and her 'eccentricities' (cough, cough)

She probably had to use the can.

She is one of the biggest drug addicts in the biz.

Lol R3

That’s a great Faye story, R7!

A decent interview. She’s nutty but I don’t think she’s vindictive or deliberately mean. I hope she can keep her demons at bay and work because she is indeed a wonderful actress.

Her horrid face is proof there is no god

I saw Faye Dunaway in the Broadway touring version of "Master Class." She was brilliant. It was a performance that I have always remembered. The best ever.

Kathie Lee has nearly completed her transformation into Baby Jane Hudson.

Perhaps she and Faye should a stage adaptation of the property. Faye would be a fine Blanche.

Faye for HELLO DOLLY

How about focusing on the positive things you cunts, like that Kusturica movie she was so brilliant in.

Has anyone EVER had less self awareness EVER?

Irish Catholics have the most volatile personalities of any group of people I’m familiar with. So much shame and guilt and bottled-up rage makes them act like...well, like Faye Dunaway is rumored to act on set.

Faye at high mass.

Faye at prayer.

Faye summoning Jesus through devotion to the Vatican.

Faye was a beautiful woman, and just had to go and get some of the worst plastic surgery ever. What a shame.

I love the ESL level English in that clip at R24.

It reminds me, though...WHET Brenda Vaccaro?

Funny how she was a star but never a superstar. She has already been forgotten as an actress

I remember her. That's all that counts.

And I love her.

Haters gonna hate.

Well, I'm a devout Catholic, but I don't treat other people with the scorn and contempt Faye's known for demonstrating. My dear late Mom would have smacked my face if she ever heard me saying anything rude to anyone. She considered me a reflection of her, I do think I would enjoy knowing Faye, but I think she's a very strange woman.

R27, that's BS. Her acting is still admired by film buffs. Unlike Streep, she starred in multiple films that will be remembered for a long time (Bonnie and Clyde, Chinatown, Network, Mommie Dearest).

Love this line from The Onion's parody on Meryl - "Can it be true that one of this generation's greatest actresses, maybe even the greatest—a national treasure, you might say—has never been in a film as good as Network, which isn't even Faye Dunaway's best movie?"

Faye, darling, you hail from grits and red eye gravy Arkansas ,and there are very few devout Catholics, if any. Especially, when you left.

This clip is fascinating. Faye is so intense and intelligent in the interview.

There's so few video/film interviews of Faye in the 70s - this is a treasure.

And I LOVE Oklahoma Crude. George C. Scott and Dunaway had great chemistry.

R33 Faye is from Two Egg, Florida, so....

"Ms. Dunaway's bios list her childhood home as nearby Bascom, but this was because there was no post office in Two Egg and the local homes were on Bascom mail routes."

R34=Miss Dunaway

R30 Priests are devout Catholics and they rape kids so you and your dear late mother might want to get off your fuckin' high horses, you dirty Catholic hypocritical cunts.

R36, no it was me. I've always admired her.

'Understand? Or is it too tough for you?'

I went to Mass this morning. Faye said that TRIES to go to Mass everyday so good for her. It keeps her grounded.

Thank you for the Merv Griffin interview. Indeed she comes across as both intelligent and thoughtful. She got wacky as she aged but this is a woman with a love and respect for her craft. She put in the work.

She threatened Amanda Lepore with a cease and desist order, which I thought was extreme...who in the mainstream would be aware of Amanda Lepore?

She's a big fan of the Blessed Mother.

Faye was drop-dead gorgeous in her prime. She also happens to be one of the greatest actors that the world has ever seen (both dead or alive). For whatever reasons (multifaceted I am sure), her star dimmed after the 1970's came to a close - but no one can dismiss what amazing things she accomplished during her very successful career. Frankly, she is fucking amazing. Watching her great roles now blows me away - the acting is generally flawless, the looks stunning and the star-power (well, she had that in spades...). Faye is one of the best.

[quote]She threatened Amanda Lepore with a cease and desist order, which I thought was extreme...who in the mainstream would be aware of Amanda Lepore?

Wait, what??! Link??

No Faye thread would be complete without this gem.... (there's always a newbie who hasn't heard it yet)....

Faye sat near me in the same pew in church this morning. We nodded to each other. I see her there often because I go every morning. She skips now and then.

Test

R41 Why was there a cease and desist order against Lepore? Was Amanda impersonating her or something?

Gotta know these details. Thank you

Faye took her vows I see.

I love this pic of Faye by David LaChappelle. I had her sign it when I met her outside the stage door on the Master Class tour.

She said of the pic" I didn't realize it was going to be so revealing".

You should have gotten her to sign it outside of church.

MadTV's Michael McDonald Taught Faye Dunaway Comedy

R37, FF.

I wonder when it was the last time she was on her back, legs in the air, getting pounded.

Well the last time she sucked cock was recently. You heard she's going back to Broadway, right?

She's been a devout diva since the beginning of her career. Which is one reason I love her.

I still want to know what happened with Hand of God. Faye was on the set (see pic with Ron Perlman's daughter Blake) and then they rewrote the role and only gave her replacement Linda Gray 2 minutes in 2 episodes out of the whole season. And the part was supposed to be a major character arc with Faye playing Aunt Val the matriach of the family.

Considering she rarely talks about Mommie Dearest, this long interview with Gene Shalit is fascinating.

Love her look in the clip

Take a guess r58.

I love devout celebrity Catholics. They are such whores. It comes with the territory.

If she's a Catholic, Faye Dunaway is the pope!

Young teeth in old heads just looks weird.

R32 Not to take an Onion article too seriously, but I consider The Hours and Angels in America to be great recent-ish classics. But maybe they are too gay-themed to be considered mainstream classic films.

That dentist of hers should be executed.

R60 I don't have a guess. That's why I asked.

She wasn't let go because of her behavior, because if so they wouldn't have rewritten the role and shafted poor Linda Gray with 4 minutes of screen time out of 10 hours. They would have kept the part the same and let Linda Gray play it as written or hired another accomplished actress to do the same.

Faye & Mickey Rourke have morphed into plastic surgery trainwreck clones of each other since they co=starred in "Barfly" 30 years ago.

See R58...

Faye and Mickey in Barfly, good movie from 31 years ago.
