What other roles could icon Faye Dunaway have played?

Billie Holliday

Violet in AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY.

India. Von Halkein.

Ann Romano.

With her plastic surgery, none.

Daisy Duck, after all those lip injections.

A Woman Under The Influence, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Frances

Wilson in Castaway, Rapist Bear in the Revenant. Voldemort.

Mrs. Doubtfire.

She would have been better than Meryl in Out of Africa.

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

BLASPHEMER! There is and will always only be one Mrs. Ida Lowry in Brazil.

Caroline Ingalls

Shirley Partridge

Dr. Quinn

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. Out of my sight. This copy is atrocious, all the editors are fired.

The Jane Fonda Workout, but based around destroying rose bushes.

She could have played Katharine Hepburn. Oh, wait . . .

Norma De....oops never mind

Katherine in "Working Girl." FD is 9 years older than Sigourney Weaver, but I think she could have played the role.

Alex in Fatal Attraction

Nosferatu

Octopussy.

Mrs. Danvers in a "Rebecca" remake that no one ever made.

[Quote] Mrs. Danvers in a "Rebecca" remake that no one ever made.

--Cough--

The Lois Chiles part in Death on the Nile.

Cruella de Ville

R22 Whoopsie! But my imaginary remake would be better.

Cancer in Terms of Endearment

Dangerous Liaisons.

Billy Elliot

Catowoman.

Gollum

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!)

Nell

The Holland Taylor role on The L Word

i would have killed to see her do Lady MacBeth.

Tangina Barrons, Poltergeist

Grand High Witch, The Witches

Log Lady, Twin Peaks

Kira in Planet of the Apes. The producers would save on make-up too, with poor Faye looking so simian-adjacent in real life these days.

I love that r35 era of her looks. She looked beautifully severe.

Bond Villain or M or Q

Miss Havisham.

Based on OP's photo, a Chinese woman.

Harriet Tubman. She would have been so much better than Julia Roberts.

Sanpaku eyes!

She would have left us spellbound as R2-D2.

Jo in "Little Women"

G.I. Jane.

The Joker

ANOTHER Faye thread?! Who’s obsessed around here?

THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The Human Centipede!

She could’ve played Glenn Close. They’re both so hungry!

Thanos

She could’ve played a square. He’ll, Michael played a sexy, juicy beefsteak tomato!

Faye Squared.

India Von Halkein AND Baron Leo Von Halkein

I think she’d be great as Lois Griffin.

The Wife, Dangerous Liaisons, Fatal Attraction, The World According to Garp. Actually everyone that G has appeared in and Faye would have been better. Hell she would have more Oscars and nominations they I do.

Barbara Thorndyke

Joanna Cassidy's roles in "Blade Runner", "The Fourth Protocol" and "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead."

For TV: Murphy Brown, Julia Sugarbakker, Louise Jefferson, the second Vivian Banks on Fresh Prince

For Movies: Forrest Gump’s mother, Bridges of Madison County, Molly Brown in Titanic, Mother of Precious, Hawke in Driving Miss Daisy

Vanessa Williams' role in "Ugly Betty."

Joanna Lumley's role in "Shirley Valentine."

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.

KImberly Wells in The China Syndrome. "Shut this bitch of a plant down the way it's supposed to be!"

Lady MacBeth.

Was she too beautiful for Looking For Mr Goodbar?

Rachel in blade runner

Not a movie, but, Alexis in Dynasty.

Mrs. Garret

The lead in Flashdance.

[quote]R66 Was she too beautiful for Looking For Mr Goodbar?

Too old. The character of Terry is a recent college grad who’s just moved away from home. Dunaway was 36 when that movie was made.

J-Lo’s ass double. Lord knows Faye is still one of Hollywood’s biggest asses.

I almost said ‘who’ but ‘Hwat?!’ (in a British accent) is more apropos.

Dorothy in The Wiz.
