Faye Dunaway
Born
Jan. 14, 1941
in Bascom, FL
Faye Dunaway reigned as one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies from 1967, when she starred opposite Warren Beatty in the now-classic gangster drama “Bonnie and Clyde” (Oscar nominee, lead actress), to 1981 when she portrayed film icon — and notorious wire-hanger hater — Joan Crawford in “Mommie Dearest” (winning that year’s Razzie for worst actress). Even if, as Dunaway has publicly opined, that much-reviled biopic effectively ended her days as a bankable star, it was preceded by an enviable run of work in such era-defining films as “The Thomas Crown Affair,” “Little Big Man,” “Chinatown” (her second Academy Award nomination), “The Towering Inferno,” “Three Days of the Condor” and “Network,” in which Dunaway gave a chilling, Oscar-winning performance as ruthless TV producer Diana Christensen (“You’re television incarnate, Diana!”). Although Dunaway never returned to the heights of her early career, the 11-time Golden Globe nominee has continued to act regularly in features and on television. Dunaway has one son, Liam, from her 1980s marriage to British photographer Terry O’Neill. She was previously married to rocker Peter Wolf.

One thought about Faye Dunaway
I have not met Faye Dunaway and I must say that she is my long distant cousin .
She does not know it, okay she might on twitter because I have been twitting to her that we are related and I don't think she even wants to talk to me.
She might even think that I am playing some kind of joke on her but I am not.
I really want to meet her and talk to her.
I think that she does deserve this star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame .
