Faye Dunaway

Faye Dunaway is another celebrated actress from the 60’s. Her career began on the Broadway stage, acting live in front of hundreds of audiences. However, she is best recognized as half of the notorious couple, Bonnie & Clyde. Her role as Bonnie Parker earned her an Oscar nomination, but what started it all was her first film, The Happening. Even before that, she had to earn her degree in theater from Boston University.

After filming the biographical film Mommie Dearest, Faye Dunaway played a child abuse mother in the film. Although some critics affirmed her performance, most people focused on hysterical dialogue and fancy child abuse scenes. Faye Dunaway later admitted that she regretted taking the role. Despite career setbacks during the late 60’s and early 70’s and her seemingly cold image, she still managed to make a comeback in Tea at Five.
