[quote]“We need to shoot; I’m here now, come on,” says an exasperated Dunaway. Seated on a comfortable-looking sofa in an airy New York apartment living room, she huffs, “This is the worst seat in the world. I’m not happy with anything here.” But when she then snaps, “I need a glass of water, not a bottle,” a quick complicit eye roll at the camera suggests she’s aware enough to own the reputation as part of the persona she created.

[quote]This is addressed only glancingly in a reference to her career as “before and after Mommie Dearest,” with the unstated subtext that the industry seldom gives women another chance after such a stinging failure.
Jane, Barbra, Sally, Diane, Meryl, Jessica, Glenn, etc., have all endured flops, yet they still get hired. People stopped hiring Faye because of those flops + her nasty temperament.
An actor-director like Barbra is a perfectionist, and despite her megalomania, she gets things done. Faye, OTOH, couldn't get Master Class off the ground because she's too erratic.

She tried to come back with Barfly. Did not work out, so she hang in there as a working actress , She did get hired for 3-5 tv-productions a year , where her "intensity" usually overpowered the material. She had a career in reverse. She started on top and had to struggle her way down, which she wrote about in her book as being ok.
I have a soft spot for her because of her work in the 70ies. Since i´m not in her eyeline ore ending up as salad faced gayling, i don´t have judge her mental illness and erratic behaviour.

I can't picture Dunaway doing stuff like Book Club, or Eighty for Brady. Dunaway had a specific niche that she was perfect for. But a lot of those types of roles simply aren't being written anymore.
The one role I could have seen Dunaway doing in recent years is Katharine Graham in The Post. Upper class elegance was always Dunaway's forte, but once again we got a miscast Meryl.

R21 combined with better editing and transitions, I think Mommie Dearest would’ve been better received than it was originally if one of the following two things happened: —Faye’s over-the-top acting was toned down just a drop —The writing for the movie was more grounded in truth
When I say “better received” I was thinking along the lines of Faye’s career wouldn’t have cratered the way it did after Mommie Dearest and just been on a long and steady decline.
Now if both of those things happened then you could make the argument that Mommie Dearest could’ve been a serious contender for Oscars..

In 1966 Faye won the Theatre World Award for her performance in he blank-verse drama Hogan's Goat written by William Alfred. She became friends with the playwright and called him the single most important figure in her lifetime. Teacher, mentor and the man she would have picked as father if the choice was hers.
She reprised her role in the play for a 1971 television production. Also in the cast is future golden girl Rue McClanahan.

Excerpt from “With Love, Mommie Dearest” by A. Ashley Hoff:
“POOR FAYE DUNAWAY. HER performance as a rampaging Joan Crawford was so convincing that even people in the industry couldn’t help but wonder if there was just a tiny bit of similarity between her on-screen performance and her off-screen behavior.
And unlike Patty Duke, whose scene-chewing performance in the similarly maligned Valley of the Dolls nearly derailed her own award-winning career (though she later made peace with the film and its campy legacy), Dunaway has been unable to see the humor in Mommie Dearest. It remains a sore subject, one that sadly (she feels) has overshadowed her great performances in some of the true cinematic masterpieces of her generation.
Faye’s participation in the movie serves as a cautionary tale on multiple levels: not simply in picking and choosing roles with more care, or in giving a performance that can be perceived as too convincing, but also in handling the failure of a project with grace, humor, and a lightness of touch, allowing one to move forward undisturbed. It also offers a lesson in being (or being perceived as) kinder to one’s coworkers and peers.”

Kelly and Mark really seemed to struggle with asking La Dunaway anything relevant or getting anything mildly substantive from their guest.
I'm guessing that's probably because Faye's team presented them with a 100-page list of topics Miss Dunaway would absolutely NOT discuss, the most glaringly obvious being Mommie Dearest.
So that left Kelly and Mark with snoozer questions like, "How did you feel when you won the Oscar?"

Oscar-winning Hollywood legend Faye Dunaway has played many different parts across her decades-long career, but she's being comically selective about what her grandson will call her as she takes on a new role as his grandmother.
The 83-year-old made a rare recent talk show appearance Monday on Live With Kelly and Mark to promote her upcoming HBO documentary Faye, and answered a question about what her grandson, Oliver Dunaway O’Neill, will call her when he's older.
"I know you have a grandbaby, and right now, you've been deciding on a grandma name," Ripa said, referencing the 2022 birth of Dunaway's grandson, whose father is Dunaway's only child, Liam Dunaway O'Neill. "I think, this is what I think the baby should call you: Ms. Dunaway."
The Network and Chinatown star smiled and looked toward the audience and said, "No way! No way! I tell him I want to be called grandmama."
Ripa then suggested, "What about Madame?" which Dunaway also rejected.
"No! He'll tell me exactly what he wants to call me, and it'll be better than any name I could've thought of," she said. "He's a darling boy. I adore him!"
Dunaway also spoke about her decision to allow cameras to capture portions of her life for the Faye documentary, which premiered at Cannes in May.
"The unexamined life is not worth living. I think [Socrates] said that," Dunaway said. "You have to examine your life, look at your choices, understand why they were made, and learn from it. If you don't do that... life is not worth living."

R142, I know what I'm referring to. I remember reading that there was more to the Lombardo/Harper lawsuit than you stated. Here is a relevant section from the article linked to below:
"Lombardo says that the 74-year-old 'Rhoda' star, and her husband, Tony Cacciotti, 'knowingly withheld the truth about her cancer.' The writer filed the lawsuit as a result of one filed by Harper, in which she claims he did not pay the remainder of her contract despite her illness."
Unless Lombardo is lying about the the Harper suit, in which she apparently expected to be have her full contract paid even though she was unable to play it out, you'll have to admit that does put a different spin on the situation. BUT, as I said, even if Lombardo's version is the truth, he's still a POS for many of his other vile lawsuits and other actions throughout his "career." Here again, this source is not the best place to link to for this kind of story, but presumably the information is factual.

You actually hear Dunaway before you see her, complaining over the soundtrack that she's ready to shoot, why have they not start shooting yet, come on already! Later, director Laurent Bouzereau ... will present a montage of the star sitting on her couch, grousing about everything from the angle at which she's being shot to the water she's drinking. Headlines that play up her temper tantrums and sudden leaves of absence from productions, all brimming with puns and schadenfreude ("Dun-Away With!"), whiz across the screen. A vintage clip from the Carson-era Tonight Show, featuring Bette Davis spitting a Xenomorph-bloodstream level of acid as she dubs Dunaway the worst person in showbiz, gets some early prime real estate. Faye may have indeed come to praise this screen icon and noted anti-wire-hanger enthusiast, but you wonder how much it plans on burying her before it gets around to the complimentary segments.

Funny that only Mickey Rourke and Sharon Stone (of all people) are the only major talking heads who were included from the present time. Her plastic surgery is horrible. Rourke's has gotten less awful with time, except for that nose. Dunaway looks like she had some good, subtle work when she was younger.
Her career was destined to hit a decline around the late 70s/80s and its not surprising she wound up on tv and in low budget films. Women on screen were different and she didn't destined to play mothers (as she demonstrated in "Mommie Dearest"). Younger actresses like Sigourney Weaver (a much better actress) and contemporaries like Jane Fonda got the strong female leads in better films.

Faye playing Hepburn in the play Tea at Five was a horrible idea. First off, she was only playing the older Hepburn in the second act which was under an hour. The first act with younger Kate was cut for obvious reasons. Of course, the experience ended in tears especially for one little homosexual boy. I saw Kate Mulgrew do it at the old Promenade back in 2003(?) and she was fabulous.

It's easy for people such as you to "like" someone with mental illness if they don't have to work with them or deal with them directly. If the truth is that she's mentally ill and that could be controlled by drugs which she refuses to take, forgive me if I'm not at all sympathetic to her.

It's only sortof a rehab. They admit she's been a handful and doesn't always take her meds. She's lucky to have her son, although she seems to be his career and probably his retirement plan. Still, only the most random people went on camera to talk about her. I was not aware that she had worked so much post-Mommie Dearest, although it all looks pretty forgettable.
She was awful in "Mommie Dearest", but the awfulness (not to mention the makeup and clothes) are what make it a camp classic.

And everyone should compete against Mara. I think Mara is an amazingly wonderful woman and actress. But in my opinion, quite frankly, there are other actresses equally as talented as Mara Hobel. The whole Mara Hobel iconography is part of what Hollywood does to women … Viola Davis is every bit the actress Mara Hobel is. Emma Thompson. Judy Davis. Olivia Colman. Kate Winslet, for f***’s sake. But you say Mara and everybody falls on the floor.

There's the always annoying Columbia film professor Annette Insdorf, who is as emphatic as she is vacuous. There are a few actors and studio execs you've never heard of.

Not sure i´m allowed to post a full link but for the poor people section i drop a hint in my signature where to enjoy the doc.
Ebnjoy it i did. The first hour focuses on her glorydays up to Mommie Dearest and it is a superb summary on what made her so riveting to watch in solid material with good directors. There are enough straigth forward statements on her problematic behaviour to give a sense how a manic depressiv star can inflict pain on the people around her. Anybody intrested in all the crazy details has tons of material available on the net. Her illness is addressed matter of factly without becoming sensationalistic and exibitonistic. We don´t get Faye in close-up being torturd by her illness a la Celine .There certainly is no opening-up to Oprah in the future and for my part i like that .Privacy is becoming a lost virtue in our day and age and Faye makes a clear short sharp statement on that matter.
My 2 cents
Before i move out of your eye -line ,i leave a not so well known slap fom Evita and toss some salad in honor of Faye

All the POSITIVE things along that that period, the Marlon Brando film was going on at the same time that the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY was going on and you all have to put in the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY, you can't put in that I worked with the wonderful Marlon Brando and talk to the director of that movie FOR CHRISTSAKE! And I'm not gonna approve it and I'm really upset now because that uh for two nights now tried to thread through that STUPID interview with a with a man that I will not even waste my time discussing. And and you know who, suffice it to say, stopped working when he married me and pretended to be my manager for a very long time so LET'S NOT EVEN GO THERE! It's very upsetting to me! And then to put my uh our child in JEOPARDY the way he has. So I'm not interested in these NEGATIVE things that you all are putting in there with me in! I don't want Llloys-Webber in, I'd like you to cut him out, and I'd like you to really trim down everything to do with that Mommie Dearest, I'm not gonna talk about it, maybe one thing I'm gonna say about it and THAT'S ALL. It's just like uh you know an obsession, why can't you be obsessed about POSITIVE THINGS?! About Marlon Brando? About the Kusturica movie that was THE HIT OF ALL THE EUROPE AND CANNES?

If that movie were just an aberration in her career, it shouldn't have destroyed her career, and she should have had no trouble moving beyond it to do other good work. But I think the problem is that there was a steady decline in the quality of her performances as she began to overact more and more egregiously. EVITA PERON is another prime example of that, and there are some people who also feel she's way over the top in NETWORK, even in the context of that movie.

Her cosmetic surgeries are unsurprisingly not mentioned, but the changes in her appearance are hard to ignore. Bouzereau illustrates that Dunaway was overdue for a bio documentary.

R399 Give it a rest. I was stunned at how beautiful she was in that leaked commercial thing where she says she loves playing women then tells a fool to get out of her eyeline. That was the 90s?

Miss Dunaway still looked good when she was doing that tv series and Columbo and Don Juan DeMarco. It was around the 2000s when her face work started looking botched.

R400, I was exaggerating but her face did drastically change in the 70s. Not bad but she looked older than she was, at least compared to actresses in their 40s nowaydays. I'm guessing it was because she drank a ton plus the bipolar.

R398- She definitely looked haggard in The Eyes of Laura Mars-- If I recall she was beautiful later in The Champ, but had gained some weight.

Found this story about Faye:
“ As a retail makeup artist for 40 years in the Boston area, I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue there in the late '70s early '80s, during the time that Ms Dunaway was married to Peter Wolf. They had an apartment in the Boylston, one of the Prudential towers next door to where I worked. Ms Dunaway was my client for a couple of years, and I routinely sold her fragrance and skin care. I realize that she is not liked in some circles, but she was always unfailingly kind and very sweet in her interactions with me. I would call her fairly shy, actually. She dressed very casually, usually in the then currently fashionable Ralph Lauren prairie skirt look, or in a sort of gypsy look. She rarely wore a stitch of makeup, and was pleasant and soft-spoken. Maybe the stress of her career has changed her, but was appearing in Boston at the Huntington Theater in "Tea at Five," a dear friend working at the theater company told me that she was extremely difficult to all the personnel. I was sorry to hear that, because I still remember how nice she was. We went to the opening night performance, and although the critics were not happy with her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn, I thought that apart from a little bit of opening night forgetfulness and nerves that she was rather good.”

R411, that story is confusing. How did we get from Faye in the '70s and '80s, when she was married to Peter Wolf to "Tea at Five," which she did in 2019? Where was the transition?

R411, if the stress of her career was the main reason for Faye's horrific behavior, it seems to me that would be far more likely to have been the case at the height of her career in the late '70s and early '80s, rather than in more recent years. I think a better guess is that, at some point, she became bi-polar and, apparently even by her own son's admission, she doesn't always take her meds.

I met Faye at LAX a few years ago. She was very charming and knowledgeable about the industry. It’s a shame she never got the proper help she needed when she was younger; her career would’ve had a different trajectory,

Honest question, do we have any idea about how long she has been considered to be bipolar? Is it within the past decade or two, or does her history of erratic behavior extend back further than that?

Probably somewhere between 2009 and now.

People don't just "get" bipolar disorder, do they?
Isn't it always there, but sometimes it doesn't always manifest itself?

No, r419. It has to be triggered. The gene is there or you get a really bad concussion. Drugs can also trigger it like schizophrenia. If you have the gene it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get it but you have a chance. Faye’s father was an alcoholic. He probably had mental health issues too. Bipolars self medicate.

R418 she was officially diagnosed after getting fired from Tea At Five in 2019. But her erratic behavior was always there, it just got worse with age.

R419: It used to be considered typical for it to appear in the 30s or 40s, but some people display frank symptoms (esp. mania) in their late teens or early 20s. Most likely, it coincided with the decline of her career, so probably 30s or 40s for her.

When Faye was living in Boston she was married to Peter Wolf and was an active heroin addict.
It tends to calm the crazy.
And I call bullshit on her sudden late-life bipolar diagnosis.

Do you mean that you don't believe she's bipolar, or you do believe it but you think she was actually diagnosed years ago? Obviously, there's SOMETHING very wrong with her, and I don't know that it would be fully explainable by drug use.

found this story someplace else:
“I was behind her in line at Mayfair market in WeHo several years ago when she had a complete meltdown that dissolved into a teary, crying jag. She had dialed through so many emotions in about 10 minutes it was fascinating! From the imperious star, to the laughing imbecilic, to the screeching mad woman, the pouty bitch, the condescending star, the poutyPrincess tothe 3-year old having a tantrum. She was all over the place! And she lashed out at everyone who tried to de-escalate the situation. She screamed at tge checker, demanded the manager, yelled at him and stomped her foot. Because I was behind her in line, she took that to mean that I was on her side (I didn't even know what the problem had been until later.) She made such a scene that people came up front to hear what all the shouting was about (she was incensed that the store didn't carry a certain type of butter!) Finally, someone went in back and found some other Butter that was similar to what she wanted and then she proceeded to write a check for it. Before sh left she looked at me, rolled her eyes and muttered "The incompetensss!" emphasizing the sibilant "s" sound. Then, as I started to put my things on the counter she turned to look at me and shouted loudly "and thank YOU for coming to my rescue, SIR!" before sailing out to her aopointment. .. . It was sad.”

It’s wild just how much bipolar disorder can fuck with your mind. I’ve met people who’ve worked with Faye and some said she was perfectly reasonable and unproblematic and then there are others who said they would rather resort to crime to get by than work with Faye ever again.

The Academy Award winner said she “dug deep” to discuss her experiences with bipolar disorder and alcoholism in Faye.
“Cathartic is a good word. It was,” Dunaway told The Independent. “To look at it all and see what it added up to. It was difficult sometimes, because it is very private to me. I was a bit wary at seeing it all out there, but that’s the process — it’s the whole point of the film, the sharing of who I am. I dug deep!”
