She has a brother you don’t hear much about. He’s a lawyer.
I wonder if she strapped him into bed at night when he was little.

The Lawyer and the Actress
[quote]Mac Dunaway called her "Dorothy" or simply "Sister" even after she decided "Faye" would make a better stage name.
[quote]”It was sometime in high school. She just came home and dropped her first name," says Mac Dunaway, the managing partner in the Holland & Knight law firm overlooking Farragut Square and the brother of actress Dorothy "Faye" Dunaway.
[quote]"She has been starstruck since she was little. I remember being in 'Saturday Evening Ghost' with her in elementary school. Even then she had to do everything perfectly. We used to fight like cats and dogs. She was a straight-A student and a National Merit scholar and the teachers were always saying, 'Why can't you be more like your sister?' I was more interested in football."
[quote]With clear blue eyes matching his white-collared blue shirt, Dunaway, 41, resembles his older sister especially when he laughs, summoning the deep dimples that frame his smile. "I think we both remember the time I became physically dominant. She couldn't beat up on me anymore."
[quote]Married for 19 years and a resident of Chevy Chase Village, Mac Dunaway says, "Those rough times with Sister are long since past. Things that used to grate on you fade with the passage of time. You realize that family is the lasting relationship."
[quote]Along with being a friend, Faye Dunaway is also her brother's client. He draws up her contracts for film and stage performances. They visit frequently when she is working in New York and living in her apartment there. This July his three children flew to London to watch their aunt film the made-for-television movie "Ellis Island" with the late Richard Burton.
[quote]For both Faye Dunaway, 43, the star of the films "Chinatown" and "Network," and Mac Dunaway, who was heading off to his frequent golf and boating retreat, Hilton Head, S.C., times were not always so successful financially. "There was little extra money when we were growing up," said Mac Dunaway. "My father was in the Army and we were constantly moving around. But we learned to meet new people and deal with new situations and my mother always pushed us and told us to do whatever we want. She always said, 'Set your sights high.'
