First photo of Faye stinking up the stage in new play

I’d sure like to chew her cunt.

No more back flips, Chelsea! Ever!

Hollywood royalty.

Holy crap, she *does* look like Mary Tyler Moore.

lmao

So this is how Beth Jarrett ended up?

Faye Dunaway as Mary Tyler Moore as Katharine Hepburn.

Faye's official Instagram post has four comments after several hours...yikes.

Who knew TEA AT FIVE was a one-woman show about Cindy Adams, the gossip columnist?

La La Land!

Is Miss Dunaway flirting with disaster?

If Mary Tyler Moore and Lynn Whitfield had a daughter....

It's that extra wide space between the nostrils and the upper lip, right?

That woman is Im-Possible.

Do NOT bring up Andrew Lloyd Webber!

At least I had some resemblance to Hepburn.

How embarrassing for Faye.

Beth? You're in Boston now?

[quote]La La Land!

That's some Oscar history right there. Now she'll never be forgotten.

Wasn't Hepburn's hair a bit greyer when she was in her 80s?

Those pins in her wig cap are keeping her skin extra taught. Hepburn at 80 trying to look 40. Whose lift is it anyway? Poor thing. I bet she reads lines like in Mommie Dearest. On another site someone said that they saw earphones and was painful to see.

Click, click, click.

I guess the opening night audience loved the stink because they gave our Faye a standing ovation.

I dare one of you bitches to yell "Yes, Mommie Dearest!" right in the middle of her performance.

R22 She's going to make it, after all!

Barbra, please!

This remains Faye's best and most relevant work in recent years.

That Gucci commercial ad is creepy. Anyway, I love our Faye and hope it does well.

She really deserves a comeback like Jane Fonda had. It would be great if she won a Tony award and completed her Triple Crown

Seeing it July 2nd, sitting in the front row. $94.00 for a 75 minute performance.

^ you must be one of her faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans.

Is lovely Faye eligible for a Tony?

Can someone attending the show go to the stage door, post show, and record how grateful she is to her adoring fans?. Many thanks.

R28 I was gonna buy tix, but when I saw the performance listed as "One hour and fifteen minutes with no intermission" I thought, "So what do we do with the rest of the night after the show is over at 8:45?"

I'm not enough of a Faye fan for that.

It would be worth it even for such a short time. After all, she can turn the world on with her smile.

R32 get out of this thread! How can you not love Faye?!

Will this preview well or is she box office poison?

The Boston try out opens on Friday and it will be reviewed.

Let's see what happens after that.

I hope "Tea At Five" is a huge hit for Faye. Katharine Hepburn is such an icon that it would be nice to have a glimpse into her life, so hopefully the play will not be slammed. Plus, Faye is one of our great actresses.

Several years ago, I saw the national Broadway touring company of "Master Class" starring Faye Dunaway as Maria Callas. Faye was brilliant. To this day, her performance remains the highlight of dramatic performances that I have ever seen, and I see a lot of shows. Faye was outstanding.

Ann B. Davis?

Does Faye's pussy stink?

When she was on Ryan's Hope in the mid 70's it was always said how much Kate Mulgrew resembled Hepburn. Especially when she wore her hair 'up'

This is heartwarming . . .

When did she have the surgery that clearly screwed with her looks?

[quote] That woman is Im-Possible.

Even Aimee Semple McPherson herself couldn't save this mess.

Review?

R45 Only one so far and by a theatre-goer, not a professional reviewer. One star.

1.0 star rating: Sheena Nancy Sarles from Boston, Massachusetts

[bold]MS DUNAWAY DID NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS[/bold]

"Let me start by saying I love the theater and admire actors. It pains me to say that this performance was terrible. Ms. Dunaway stumbled repeatedly over her lines. Forget or never learned? Her accent was all wrong. She needed a cane to receive flowers and never used it or limped again. She did not capture any of Katherine's charisma. She may have been ill with her nose blowing and water drinking. Not ready for Broadway... or Boston. It was a complete waste of my time and money at $90 a ticket!!! Wish I could get my money back. Very, very disappointing."

[quote] She needed a cane to receive flowers and never used it or limped again.

Huh? As Faye or part of her character?

I believe as Kate, r47.

#MatthewLombardo??

Ohmygawd, a real freak. A huge messy queen who writes one-woman show flops to lure actresses needing work into his orbit of star worship. All of his shows flop and flop hard, but you know those "determined at any cost" type of gays. Still, you gotta admire someone who can wring so much out of so little. He'll probably make more money writing a book about working with Miss Dunaway (who is TOTE-tally IM-Possible)!

Really? No online reviews?

Mildred Pierce slaps that bitch hard!

Tell them to hold the cue cards HIGHER!

They’re already calling it “Joan’s Revenge from the Grave”

My reviews in Boston were tremendous!

I feel sorry for the producers, misguided as they are. If Faye is awful and badly reviewed, she'll continue to make life hell for them.

If she's successful and well-reviewed, she'll feel her power and make life even more hell for them.

It's a lose/lose situation.

Why no review(s) at this point?

Boston reviews will appear on Monday and Tuesday.

Rave reviews:

Ben Brantley, The New York Times: Tea at Five is Bright, Brassy and All Faye! Ms. Dunaway brings such comic brio – both barn-side broad and needlepoint precise – to the task of playing Kate that I promise you it stops the show. Then again, pretty much everything Ms. Dunaway does stops the show.

.

Roma Torre, NY1: You know all those Tea at Five ads making it sound like Faye Dunaway is the second coming? Well, believe them. She morphs into the role of the beloved screen icon with a star power that brightens the universe… The moment Faye enters, there’s an electricity that courses through the theatre.

' Adam Feldman, TimeOut New York: ★★★★★ It’s hard to imagine a better match of actor and role: It is, in a word, perfection… From the rousing overture on, everything about the production, directed with joyful aplomb, gleams with old-fashioned charm.

' Jesse Green, Vulture: In the long line of memorable Kates I’ve seen or heard — Dunaway is by far the most natural and inviting… a perfect, once-in-a-lifetime Kate in Tea at Five.

r58, don't forget:

Zombie Dorothy Parker: Miss Dunaway runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.

I see Faye is fucking for reviews again.

I hope she took her teeth out first.

Bad review.

And so they begin.

This is how I imagine the performance.

Lombardo should have been so lucky as to get O'Hara, r64.

Twillings Tea At 5

Supposedly Faye pulled a Lupone and screamed at an unsuspecting front row audience member to “take OFF your damned distracting HAT!” at the TEA matinee today in Boston.

R28: Wear a big fuckin' hat...

Does anybody still wear a HAT?!

Well.....

Next she'll be in a one woman play about Joan Crawford entitled "I'll Beat You Last".

I think every actor should play an actor who beat them for the Oscar.

Sissy Spacek in "Oscar '77 - The Long Night's Journey into Faye".

So, does it get out of Boston?

If this moves to Broadway it will be as a spectacle, an invitation to come see something so awful you won't believe it.

Very sad.

[quote] Jesse Green, Vulture

An apt description.

Classy piece with playwright in a pool in a speedo. I'm sure Philip Barry would have done the same.

R78 His favourite childhood memory is Nixon resigning? What a pretentious cunt

Faye would look so much better if she got new teeth.

Maybe she's saving up?

She's broke you know. Has been for a while.

Somebody smarter than me will know this one. If I remember correctly, Faye spent her last dime on the rights to "Master Class".

Because she's such a c*nt, nobody would produce it and now she's aged out.

She needs a reality show.

What level of gay is it that I saw the thumbnail and instantly knew the Hepburn look she was imitating?

Except Kate's hair is grey there, r83, and Faye's is decidedly MTM brunette.

Faye farts

^And pisses!

Here's two morons talking about it.

Morons?

Mormons?

[quote]”TEA AT FIVE" One woman show -Faye Dunaway does Kate Hepburn & she did herself no favors.

This review is brutal.

omg.

Her hairline.

.....

The only actress to win an Emmy for Columbo.

R90 “Dated,” “flaccid,” “dull,” “superficial” and “clinging to life.”

And that’s Joyce writing about the good stuff.

Glad I didn’t waste my money or my time.

How's that Broadway transfer coming?

The performance was cancelled last night because Faye was in such a rage backstage that Huntington Theater management deemed the situation “unsafe and hostile” for staff.

No joke, this really happened. My girlfriend is on the crew at the Huntington. It’s sad because she says the consensus is that Faye is really messed up mentally and needs help. It’s not just being a diva or a bitch. She’s really nuts and then gets depressed after she calms down.

Why people are always dwelling on the negative? She also got good reviews :

"Kobi Kassal, Theatre Talk Boston: The play beautifully weaves together moments of Hepburn's life from career highlights and failures to her 26 year love affair with actor Spencer Tracey. Lombardo sprinkles in charming anecdotes throughout the story that helps connect the bigger topics. Adapted from her personal memoir, this portrait of one of America's greatest actresses is a fascinating reflection of her life. For those musical theatre fans, there is a great tale of Hepburn and Stephen Sondheim as neighbors while he was writing his hit show Company. Director John Tillinger, who has been with the show since its premiere back in the early 2000s now has the pleasure of working with Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner Dunaway. Now at the age of 78, it has been almost 40 years since Ms. Dunaway has graced the Broadway stage. It was clear that Ms. Dunaway was having some trouble with her lines that she flubbed a few times throughout the night. Her ping-pong movements from one end of the stage to the other got mundane at points. Despite all that, Ms. Dunaway puts her heart and soul into the piece and plays Hepburn with heart and a fervorous passion. Her emotion shines in the monologue where Hepburn reflects on her brother's suicide. It is always a delight to see Dunaway back on the Boston stage, where she started her wonderful career many years ago."

Robert Netsi, Edge Media: "Ms. Dunaway also gave life to another legend, this time on stage when she toured as opera diva Maria Callas in Terrence McNally's "Master Class" in 1996. She made for a commanding Callas - stern and authoritative, but vulnerable. She shows the same commitment here, which makes her Hepburn so fascinating to watch. It must be said that this is a performance in flux - not yet fully realized and with the occasional falter. (She slipped on her lines every now and then.) Nor has the arc of the performance fully realized; but Ms. Dunaway is most certainly on the right track, achieving moments of extraordinary connection with her audience."

This play will be the hit of all Europe and Cannes, but will not be well sold in this country.

Datalounge, this is Faye Dunaway... look... hum... ahn.. erase some of the stuff from the Kulhawik review. But I'm not realy interested in Joyce Kulhawik. She's a big, big, liar and I'm really not interested in her.

Link, R97. This would have made news if it happened.

"Tea at Five Doesn't Deserve Faye Dunaway"

"The posters for Tea at Five feature two names above the title: Dunaway and Hepburn, as if that’s all you need to know about the production before you buy your tickets. Well, here’s something else you might want to know:[bold] it isn’t very good."[/bold]

"Tea at Five is thankfully short"

"The play has been kicking around since 2002 when Kate Mulgrew appeared in an Off-Broadway production. The script has subsequently played a variety of locations, featuring a range of performers, including Tovah Feldshuh, Stephanie Zimbalist, and [bold]Charles Busch."[/bold] Charles Busch? How did we miss that?

"if Dunaway has the physical countenance down, she hasn’t quite mastered all of her lines."

"There were numerous obvious flubs in nearly every sequence in the play, including Hepburn’s famed “calla lily” speech [bold](of which you could hear numerous letter-perfect renditions in just about any gay bar across this great land)[/bold] Shade!

"Tea at Five is certainly valuable as a chance to see Faye Dunaway in person." Oooh - more shade!

Charles Busch as Katherine Hepburn in "Tea at Five"

"Dunaway does manage to remind us why, despite her relative absence from the stage and the screen in the last 30 years, she remains a Hollywood legend. She has a palpable emotional intensity, and gives you the sense that entire scenes are playing out behind her eyes as part of her backstory. She’s a legend for a reason." Why did you eft this out, cunt at R103?

left ^^^^

leave ^^^^

I didn't leave it out, Faye. You can (and obviously did) read the entire review again from the link I provided.

I didn't quote it, again as you can obviously see having reading it all, Faye, because 1: I'm dissing it, and 2: his praise pales in comparison to his criticism: "it isn’t very good," "Tea at Five is thankfully short," "she hasn’t quite mastered all of her lines," "There were numerous obvious flubs in nearly every sequence in the play, including Hepburn’s famed “calla lily” speech." I did miss "Dunaway was noticeably — shall we say, hesitant? — with her many of her lines."

Why did you leave all those critical comments out of your response, Faye, er, cunt?

I really want this to work out for Faye. As big of a cunt as she is, I'd like for her to have one more triumph before she hits the dirt.

If Faye were to attend even one revival screening of Mommie Dearest, she'd have a million more fans for being able to laugh at herself. I feel like that would give her a lot of goodwill.

R110 But she won't because she can't and thus she wouldn't.

So, is r97 correct in the performance being cancelled?

She looks dreadful- and Kate and Spence were "sisters", not lovers. Kate concocted the whole thing (romance) and really played it up at the end of her life. One of her greatest roles really.

I would definitely pay to see Charles Busch in Tea at Five. I've only gotten to see one of his shows.....

[quote] The performance was cancelled last night because Faye was in such a rage backstage that Huntington Theater management deemed the situation “unsafe and hostile” for staff.

Nothing was cancelled, you liar.

This review says it’s a weak cup of tea!

[quote]The "joys" of live theatre... Waiting in the @huntington lobby to see #FayeDunaway in #TeaAtFive. They delay opening the house and about 10min before curtain announce that due to unforeseen circumstances they have to cancel tonight's performance. No one seems to know why.

I hope Faye is alright. She has just three more performances before limited run is over. Any news where it will transfer? With its reviews Broadway might be hard to reach?

I hope Faye is OK. I also hope she hasn't been reading this thread and it killed her off. Like you cunts did to beloved Rue McClanaghan

Oh dear, r119.

One of my dreams is to be made to feel unsafe in a hostile environment created by Miss Dunaway.

Any news?

R122 Someone just posted on the Broadway thread the play may move to London without Faye

If they do dump her they can get a more appropriate actress and put Act One back

[quote]r97 The performance was cancelled last night because Faye was in such a rage backstage that Huntington Theater management deemed the situation “unsafe and hostile” for staff.

Faye needs to STAY IN HER LANE and realize she's lucky to have a job.

I love the bitter ol' bitch, but really.

Has it been verified that the operformance was cancelled?

^ drop the o

R92 She looks like Brenda Dickson.

It's Faye Fucking Dunaway. You go for the experience of being in the same room with an icon of cinema.

And if it's a trainwreck, you appreciate it even more. You think people went to Lucy, Bette Davis and Elizabeth Taylor on Broadway simply because of the material? No!

Straight's having no clue about event enterainment is one thing, but gays should know better.

R128 Has stated her boundaries

If Hepburn could play Coco Chanel I don't see what the problem is here.

And according to Cecil Beaton, The Old Dike's performance as Chanel was godawful

Katharine Hepburn is a legend. She kept working for DECADES.

Faye is a mentally ill terror. She had one good decade.

Well, really, Faye never really stopped working either, did she? Just not in as good stuff.

[quote]Someone just posted on the Broadway thread the play may move to London without Faye

[quote]If they do dump her they can get a more appropriate actress and put Act One back

Yes. I will play the Great Kate!

[quote]Someone just posted on the Broadway thread the play may move to London without Faye

They're throwing in a couple of tunes for Patti......

Why can't the critics treat Faye... like she would be treated by any STRANGER ON THE STREET?!

[quote]Someone just posted on the Broadway thread the play may move to London without Faye.

Switching actresses for a role can be taken the wrong way.

R135 Really? If this is a joke, it’s not funny! I saw Patti in Company last year, Barbra in Hyde Park and now Patti again! It’s gay guy’s wet dream!!

If Jane Fonda took over the role and made it a hit, Dorothy Faye would literally implode!

I wonder if they're looking for a British actress to play it in London. Diana Rigg, maybe?

Interesting you say that R140 because I saw a list of actresses the producers want to approach and Jane is on it!

They should get Raquel Welch. She's not EXACTLY Hepburnesque ... but she detests Dunaway, and would do it just to spite her.

Fonda has too much class to take a role from a down-and-out peer.

Raquel Welch was pretty poorly received on her last theatre outing in the UK. Someone posted links on a Raquel thread not long ago. She wouldn't draw an audience or good reviews.

All of Raquel's acting is done by her wig.

They'd have to add a dance number for Raquel.....

So she does some numbers from [italic]Coco.[/italic]

No biggie.

Ohrbach's, Bloomingdale's, Best & Saks will be FILLED with kicks!

Get ready for another angry voicemail.

Is it really confirmed a performance was cancelled? Or is this just a vicious rumor begun by Raquel Welch?

R150 Confirmed by a tweet upthread, but not the why

But no confirmation other than that.....

Farted.

How is she able to speak with her current teeth? On stage the way people can understand her.

She seems to be loving all these pictures with her gay fans.

Meanwhile she’s friends with that vile Sultan of Brunei and his son. Faye’s a disgusting bitch.

Faye looks as much like Hepburn as I do. Wtf? No wonder the reviews are largely negative.

Look, Faye is a gifted actress. You can knock her temperament or her plastic surgeries, but not her abilities.

#LeaveFayeAlone

R143 Raquel Welch does not detest Faye Dunaway. That's just made up bullshit.

At the Lincoln Center retrospective Q&A, Raquel said this: “My first day on set, Faye Dunaway comes over to me all dolled up, and she was so cute. She said, ‘Darling, I just want you to know, I’m a big fan of yours. But don’t you know, they’re all just waiting for us to tear each other’s eyes out. So let’s have fun with them.’ Everyone on set was going, ‘Uh-oh, here they come,’ standing there watching. And Faye gets out her fan and starts fanning herself, saying, ‘Darling, I adore your work.’ And I say, ‘Everything you do is genius!’ Everyone was so disappointed.”

And here's Raquel talking about Faye in her GQ interview:

GQ: You acted with some great actors. I know it’s hard to pick favorites, but did you have any co-stars that you have especially fond memories of.

Raquel Welch: Oh, I loved Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Stewart, Dean Martin, Burt Reynolds and Richard Burton. And Jimmy Coco and Perry King, in The Wild Party. And Faye Dunaway was really great and fun. There were so many!

I'm sure Faye and Raquel bonded over who could be the biggest cunt on set.

Well, Rocky and Faysie got into a catfight at some L.A. fashion show, where they were squabbling backstage over who would wear a certain dress. I forget which book this is in ... but it was one that wasn't geared toward making either one look better than the other.

Anyway, Faye decreed SHE should wear the dress they both wanted, saying she knew "how to sell it."

Raquel asked her with what body she was going to wear the dress.

Well, Rocky and Faysie got into a catfight at some L.A. fashion show, where they were squabbling backstage over who would wear a certain dress. I forget which book this is in ... but it was one that wasn't geared toward making either one look better than the other.

Raquel asked her with what body she was going to wear the dress.

It wasn't from a book it was from Ted Casablanca's old column where the exchange was 'overheard'. Not exactly trustworthy.

And you didn't even get the Faye 'quote' right. Faye said 'the real actress should wear the dress'.

If Raquel hated Dunaway she would have no problem saying it, she has eviscerated others she has worked with. Yet at Lincoln Center Q&A and GQ interview she singled Faye out for nice comments.

Once again, made up bullshit.

You heard it here first! TEA producers will be firing Faye and articles will start appearing tomorrow to get ahead of the story and create discussion about possible replacement actresses.

I have a history of lighting up the London stage!

As do I R165 and my tv show ran way longer than yours

Step aside. I served tea AND coffee from 9 TO 5 for 10 years.

I've had TWO hit TV shows!

I knew her!

I still think this is all just a ghasty rumor.

Do they have any idea what they are in for?

I'm taking over for Faye and I'm taking it to Broadway.

Why are they firing Faye? She got better reviews than the play. Fire the playwright!

Yes she needs to learn her lines but she's almost 80.

They gave Elaine Stritch a break when she had trouble with her lines.

It's the play that is stinking up the stage, not any actress that will be playing the part.

No one's going anywhere.

It's all unsubstantiated rumors.

I love that interview Hepburn gave with Clive James at R83. She looked annoyed, and I'm not sure she liked his interview style, which was quite to the point. Its very interesting what she says about her dead brother.

Confirmed that one performance of TEA AT FIVE towards the end of the run in Boston was canceled not long before curtain time due to a toxic and unsafe atmosphere backstage, or words to that effect. Seems Faye had a total meltdown over something, whether due to dementia or just plain craziness. This was the only performance actually canceled, but there had been previous reports of her doing a lot of screaming at people backstage and even DURING PERFORMANCES. She basically alienated everyone associated with the production, including the pathetic playwright. They grew to hate each other so much that they weren't speaking for most or all of the run.

That said, it's ridiculous to think they could find anyone else to take over the part for London and/or Broadway. Why the production isn't allowed to just die a swift, sad, embarrassing death is hard to comprehend.

TOLD YA!

How is her RETOUCHED head shot so unflattering? Yikes.

Guard your rose bushes tonight ladies!

I don't know why anyone doubted you. Maybe it was Faye.

As soon as I say the "unsafe working environment" (or words to that effect) upthread, I knew it was curtains for Faye.

R178 And you were right. Was this closing act to Faye’s career? 78 and fired. I can’t see where she could continue from this?

70 Girls 70!

R97, R164, and R178 here.

Not sure Faye will ever be hired again because she was extremely abusive to the entire crew, never learned her lines except for the coke she was snorting, was not taking her psychopharmacology meds, ran up huge bills for which she now owes the producers more than she was to be paid, etc. and everybody in the business knows it.

Plus, she’s now on a yacht with that vile son of the Sultan of Brunei. Faye truly is a straight up nasty bitch and not a good person on any level.

And by the way, at first the Boston team was really giving her the benefit of the doubt and felt that she needed mental help and support. But in the end she was just a disgusting bitch. No surprise I guess.

How you can tell, though - if she was off her meds? I'm not defending her. Unacceptable behaviour is unacceptable behaviour. But if someone is mentally ill, it's hard to parse out what's the illness and what's not.

Supposedly she would purposely not take her meds as a ploy to gain sympathy for the rest of her shit. And then brag to people about it like “look at me, aren’t I a brilliant and clever person? HA!”

Others thought she actually was taking them and lying, again as a ploy to get away with other crap. She’s a fucked up lady... even Sue Mengers was glad to get rid of her as far back as the mid 70s.

R188 wow, that’s a lot. How did the yachting happen?

She’s been friends with the Sultan of Brunei and his son for a long time and I guess “tolerates” their policy of putting gays to death just like Barbara Thorndyke tolerates the anti Semitism at The Mortimer Club for the great breakfast and free parking.

Aren't you leaving out that the son is a big queen? And that's why Faye was picture with all those broads (I think Mariah Carey was the youngest) at a party of his a few years ago.

R193 money before morals

Well R194 if indeed Liam is gay that makes Faye’s association with Brunei & Company all the more reprehensible.

R194 oh you mean the Sultan’s son? Well, it still doesn’t absolve Faye from being friends with someone who is among the most despicable men on the planet.

[Quote] oh you mean the Sultan’s son? Well, it still doesn’t absolve Faye from being friends with someone who is among the most despicable men on the planet.

Yes, the Sultan's son.

Is Faye really a friend or is she a paid companion?

It's all rather pathetic.

R198 She is a paid companion, Rose. She is all they can afford.

Now I'm imagining Faye in Maggie Smith's part opposite Bette Davis in "Death on the Nile". Davis would have had a ball.

Faye will star in AGED IN WOOD!

R175 is awfully quiet today.

r175 is doing lines.

I guess I have to do some more shopping from now on. At least I am still young and beautiful.

[quote][R175] is awfully quiet today.

I have taken the day to review and meditate upon all the evidence. Thank you all for your support throughout this difficult time.

My conclusion is, Faye was framed. Just like Our Chris was framed.

When they say she "slapped" employees, this was all probably no more than a slap to their wrists. NOWHERE does it say she struck anyone in the face.

Case Closed.

You are right R207. And when she threw the salad on the floor it was to feed all the little mice that notoriously inhabit Boston theatres.

#AllTheWayWithFaye can we get a movement going?!
