"I don't think I was mean, at least I don't remember" - Faye Dunaway, Joseph's kindred spirit 😭
💯
Most people she worked with did not want to appear in this documentary because their mothers told them "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"
An aspect of Mommie Dearest that I felt affected her unfairly was the social response that “parents don’t act that way.” Yet her performance was quite accurate in ways that are much more well known now (mental illness, addiction).
It’s always struck me as ironic that Joan Crawford is more well known for Faye Dunaway’s depiction of her than anything, yet nobody doing Joan Crawford drag says they’re doing Faye Dunaway.
I happened to catch her in Master Class in the late 90s in Portland Oregon - she was AMAZING ⭐️
This was my first time watching you guys. It won't be the last!!
I love when you guys cover movies/actors that are older. I grew up watching the classics. ❤ Mommie dearest is a movie that has still stuck with me over time.
Can't think of a Dunaway performance I haven't found compelling, and at her best, spellbinding. Gay or straight, it's easy to get hyperbolic about her talent.
For me the first movie that I remember seeing Faye Dunaway was Gia and if Faye was an man , she wouldn't be labeled as difficult. She always fascinated me.
What a shame that they couldn’t get Johnny, Jack and Warren on board. All 3 of them speak well of her . Especially Jack.
I went to the red carpet for the premiere of Get Low and Faye Dunaway was in the limo with Bill Murray. To be a fly inside that limo lol
Joseph's face as Nick reads his pull quote is such a mood!
The first movie I saw her in was the eyes of Laura Mars
Doesn’t sound like a must watch for Dunaway fans. Love Nick but NO, I don’t agree that Dunaway’s performance as Joan Crawford has eclipsed the cultural memory of the real legend. When I’m in the mood for Crawford I go to Harriet Craig, Torch Song, Humoresque, The Damned Don’t Cry, Johnny Guitar and maybe Mildred Pierce, but never Mommie Dearest. When I wanna see FAYE Mommie Dearest pops up. As Elaine Stritch once said, you can never completely lose who you are in any role: people watch to see YOU in the role. Faye has her own particular appeal in everything she does. Thanks guys!
I was so happy to see this review and can't wait to watch the doc. I'm in awe of her beauty, and as they say, "Almost everyone in LA has a Miss Dunaway story." She's a legend. Her performance in Network, when she's arguing with Bill Holden and shakes while holding the coffee cup, is harrowing. I'll have to send you one of my favorite Faye stories told by a comedian with great reverence to your ig. Thanks guys.
I am a big Faye Dunaway fan! I find her unique and unusual. I remember she owned a dress boutique in downtown LA (if anyone remembers and I have the wrong info, please correct me). I decided to go there and check it out. I walked in and saw her at the cash register and then turned around and walked out. I couldn't handle it.
Making a documentary about your own legacy while you are still alive just never goes well.
Watch the Tina Turner documentary. Now that was great.
Nick’s pull quote 😂😂 hi handsome fellows 😊
There's only ONE Faye Dunaway!!!
she is as notorious as she is famous.
I believe the only time I've seen Faye was in Thirteen at Dinner, with the late, great Peter Ustinov. It was a movie based on an Agatha Christie novel that I believe was made for television back in the 1980s.
Bette Davis did NOT like Faye at ALL !!!🤣🤣
I love Nick's appreciation for difficult women!
You guys are the best!
I used to call my mom “Mommie Dearest” when she was annoying me. Lol. It was all in good fun. But the truly iconic scene of that movie for me was when she addressed the Pepsi board of directors. Wow! What a scene. 🔥
Finally Faye getting the RESPECT that she’s ENTITLED TOOOOOO!!!
😂😂
Excellent Review Guys.
I was very disappointed in this documentary. She was the Greatest Actress at one time.
I saw her filming Thomas Crown in the 1960's. She was stunning. She now appears to be living in assisted living in NY? Oh who cares?
Faye Dunaway: ‘undismissable’ 🤣
You are right: she can be both a glorious actress (BONNIE & CLYDE; CHINATOWN; NETWORK; EYES OF LAURA MARS; THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR; LITTLE BIG MAN; THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR; BARFLY; even the MUSKETEERS movies as a villain . . . and the first to play Serena Joy-and she does it gloriously-again opposite Robert Duvall in Volker Schlöndorff’s underrated film adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s THE HANDMAID’S TALE), and an impossible person to work with or for (Bette Davis’s and Rutanya Alda’s stories about lack of punctuality; the video and audio clips to which you refer, etc.). How disappointing the documentary does vague hagiography.
One of the best access and beauty of 20 century
LOVE your Lucy Harbin T!!
Very helpful review. Thanks guys.
"She (Faye) seems to stick to her routines." - Nick
8:50 - Sharon's spot-on regarding the edit on Mommie Dearest. I watched MD at a screening several years ago. Watching it on the theatre screen, you can tell the camera is on Faye way too long in a couple scenes. You can see when her eyes begin to cross a little that she's beginning to break character. They kept in these long, crazy takes instead of editing down her performance to fit the overall tone of the film.
The Sunset Boulevard lawsuit is fascinating, but I don't think she can talk about it due to her settlement agreement.
It's like a documentary then on her own perception of her life and her own sensitivity to actually see her life and herself as she truly is. Sounds like she has lived and continues to live in a lot of fragility and with a very fragile sense of self, sewn together with avoiding, charmingly not taking responsibility and not feeling the true pain of disappointment
Thank you for this. I just rewatched Chinatown - and was thinking of watching this documentary ... but I think I will pass. I will just watch her films :)
Can yall do the new Jessica Lange movie on max
Who is Jessica Lange
It is 100% possible to be an iconic riveting mega talent and a mega a**hole at the same time. Faye is the epitome of this.
I actually enjoyed this documentary. I then watched Network which is a great film.
Needed more Supergirl & Brenda Vaccaro
My favs!!!! Ty!!!
I appreciate the review. I will probably see it somewhere down the line but I do have to point out a discrepancy: Marcello Mastroianni was not married to Catherine Deneuve - ever. He was married to Flora Carabella. They separated in 1964 but they never divorced. Faye and Marcello's affair lasted approximately 2 years (1968-1970). It was after their relationship broke up that he then entered into a relationship with Deneuve which lasted 4 years (1970-1974) and produced a daughter, Chiara.
Love that straight jacket shirt where’d you get?

💕Eyes of Laura Mars💕
Because you mentioned Scorchers as a good Faye performance, I watched it, never having heard of this movie before. I'll agree Faye was the only one who didn't embarrasse herself, but seriously WTF?!! That is one of the worst movies I've ever seen! The entire cast (sans Faye) is running around screaming like raving lunatics. Has to be the worst performance of James Earle Jones' career. PLEASE do a review of this one! I have no one to talk about it with. It's streaming on Prime.
Bette Davis had problems with Faye too. And Brenda Vaccaro. And Leslie Jordan.
Fantastic actress, a hard person sometimes to get along with. Having said that, it's hard for an actress like her to live in the real world. She's terribly scrutinized. Being a woman in the industry, during the height of her career, was treacherous. It's an ugly business, and she had to fight for her art. It leaves it's scars.
I love your face at “especially a queer person”
It is so interesting. Recently I watched episodes of "The Starlet" here on TH-cam. Faye Dunaway is an absolutely extraordinary actress. However there has to be some truth to her diva behavior. Bipolar mixed with alcoholism usually brings out the worst in people. At least Faye doesn't defend Roman Polanski. So I must give her some kudos there.
Wait - did we watch the same documentary? Her getting fired and lawsuit with a little gay boy? Were you talking about Janet Jackson's book/bio or this HBO/MAX documentary. I missed those tidbits.
Sing sing bro. Y’all gotta do a review
Here's the deal. She relished being a pain in the ass. Get out of my eyeline, indeed. She had three great roles, and went berserk on MOMMIE DEAREST. She could have salvaged her career if she wasn't such a pain in the ass. Looked great after the surgery (#1), but she'd rather knock them back with Sally Kirkland at SILVER SPOONS. I know, cause I was drinking, too. Supergirl! DREADFUL crap. Why she didn't just follow through with a film version of that Maria Callas script she bought, I've no idea. There are plenty of people who are bipolar who treat people with respect. She ain't one.
She is the only star I can think of that could have done devil wears Prada if Meryl didn’t
Hi fellows!
I need the crunchy bits
The Thomas Crown Affair.....enough said.
Any gay who isn't a Faye Dunaway fan is no gay at all. It's the law!
A documentary that doesn't celebrate a celebrity's reason for being excellent in their career of choice, is boring. Maybe it's my (im)patience being tested, I'd be happy just shown the roles that made their talent memorable and the trivias they remember while on set. In their senior years, it will be nice going down memory lane for true fans.
I feel Blue is one of the best documentaries ever, charting a period of time when Derek Jarman was in the hospital system, the documentary uses a blue screen with voices and noise to tell its story, two other notable documentaries also are Burroughs and A Bigger Splash on a period of time in the life of David Hockney, but Faye left me quite disappointed as it truly fails to convey how significant this Actors history is, pity
Didn’t she have a play she was fired from by Andrew Lloyd Webber said she couldn’t sing?
Catherine Deneuve wasn't Marcello's wife. She was also his mistress
Poster girl for plastic surgery epic fail.
First!
If youre not 1st your last...Ricky Bobby
