She was one of the most revered actresses of her generation but could have done so much more. I for one would have loved to have seen her take on Bree Daniels in Klute.
What other roles could Faye have done justice to?

And she would have been even more perfect in Katharine Helmond's role in Brazil.

Rosemary in Rosemary's Baby. She raises the Satan child adoringly. Carol in the Brady Bunch, eating Mike Brady alive and getting that bitch of a bearing staircase out of her way. The kids will have to use a rope ladder. Samantha in SATC. Step aside, you amateurs. I wrote the book on sex! Miranda Priestly-- Where's my damn coffee? How dare you show up to work looking this way.

A remake of any Joan Crawford role from her hagsploitation era. Straight-Jacket would be ideal, but also I Saw What You Did, Berserk! and Trog (in the title role).

She was originally to have played Mame Dennis Burnside in the 1975 film musical, but a wise Gary Morton called her up and told her not to do it.
(It is strange he did not extend the same wise advice to his wife!)

She was a good actress, but not all THAT great, hence her career fizzling out so early.
For her first decade she made great choices, though.
