Check out Faye Dunaway (born January 14, 1941), an American actress who’s racked up an Academy Award, three Golden Globes, a BAFTA, an Emmy, and was the first to snag a Leopard Club Award for leavin’ a serious mark on film history. In 2011, France named her an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters.
She kicked things off on Broadway in the early ‘60s, then hit the big screen in 1967 with The Happening. That same year, she blew up with Bonnie and Clyde, scorin’ her first Oscar nod. Some of her standout flicks include the slick crime caper The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), the gritty mystery Chinatown (1974), which got her another Oscar nomination, the intense disaster flick The Towering Inferno (1974), the tense political thriller Three Days of the Condor (1975), the sharp satire Network (1976), where she nabbed the Best Actress Oscar, and the creepy thriller Eyes of Laura Mars (1978).
Later on, Faye leaned into deeper, character-driven roles, often in indie films, startin’ with her wild take on Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest (1981). Other big ones include the raw drama Barfly (1987), the quirky comedy-drama Arizona Dream (1993), and the heavy biopic Gia (1998).
one of the OG goddesses of Hollywood
Like Jim said, but alas bat shit crazy.
"Network" is praised for being prophetic about the media, but Faye Dunaway's Diana is one of the most prophetic characters of my lifetime. That film predicted, through her, the social emergence of a layer of soulless upper-middle-class bitches as a lethally dangerous force. We see them in the corporate world. We see them in politics and the legal sphere. Such women have stood for president. One of the representatives of my county is just such a woman. Remember how Kyle Reese described the T-800? That's them.
