Dorothy Faye Dunaway (born on January 14, 1941) is an Academy Award, Emmy Award and multi-Golden Globe Award winning American actress known professionally as Faye Dunaway. Over the course of her more than five decade career Dunaway has starred in a variety of films, from the most critically acclaimed including Bonnie and Clyde, Chinatown and Network, to blockbusters such as The Towering Inferno and the notorious cult classic Mommie Dearest.
She was one of the hottest actresses in the 1970s playing neurotic, highly driven women with sex appeal. Life in the 1990s has not been as good. In a much-publicized incident, she was dropped as the lead in the Broadway musical "Sunset Boulevard," and her attempt at starring in a television comedy was an unmitigated bomb.
