Faye Dunaway (born January 14, 1941, in Bascom, Florida) is an Academy Award-winning American actress.

Christened “Dorothy Faye Dunaway” by parents Grace, a homemaker, and John Dunaway, an Army sergeant (making Dunaway an "army brat"), Dunaway dropped the "Dorothy" when she began acting. She studied at the theater department of Boston University, where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity for women.

Notable roles

She appeared on Broadway in 1962 as the daughter of Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons.

Her first screen role was in 1967 in Hurry Sundown, but that same year, she got the leading female role in Bonnie and Clyde (opposite Warren Beatty) which garnered her an Oscar nomination.

It was in the 1970s that she began to stretch her acting muscles in such films as Three Days of the Condor, Little Big Man, Chinatown, Eyes of Laura Mars, and Network, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress as the scheming, almost inhumanly cold-blooded TV executive Diana Christensen.

In the 1980s, although her performances did not waver, the parts grew less compelling. Dunaway would later blame Mommie Dearest (1981) for ruining her career as a leading lady. "I was too good at Crawford," she was often quoted as saying.

She played an alcoholic in Barfly (opposite Mickey Rourke). In a later movie, Don Juan DeMarco (1995), Dunaway co-starred with Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando.

In 2006, Dunaway played a character named Lois O'Neill in the sixth season of the popular crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Romantically linked to a series of men ranging from the comedian Lenny Bruce to actor Marcello Mastroianni, Dunaway has been married twice. Her first husband, from 1974 until 1979, was Peter Wolf, the lead singer of the rock group the J. Geils Band. Her second, from 1984 until 1987, was Terry O'Neill, a celebrated British photographer; they had one child, Liam O'Neill (born 1980). In 2003, however, O'Neill revealed that his son with Dunaway was adopted, not biological, though the actress had long maintained the opposite.

Dunaway is a convert to Roman Catholicism.

She served as a judge on the 2005 reality show The Starlet, which sought, American Idol-style, to find the next young actress with the potential to become a major star.

In an angry February 27, 2006 voice mail message (which was widely circulated on the Internet) to the producer of a documentary of her life, Dunaway complained about the inclusion of an interview of her ex-husband O'Neill, who she called "a big, big liar" and "a man I will not even waste my time discussing" in her own interview for the film. She also insisted that references to "the Lloyd Webber stupidity" be taken out, referring to Dunaway's alleged 1994 firing from the Los Angeles production Sunset Boulevard (musical) by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. She also expressed anger that there was no mention that she'd worked with "the wonderful Marlon Brando", and that her film Arizona Dream (referred to as "the Kusturica film") which she "was brilliant in," was "not well sold in this country" despite that it was "the hit of all Europe and Cannes." She was unhappy that no mention was made in the documentary about her work in the 1993 drama or in Don Juan DeMarco, which also co-starred Johnny Depp. She also said she wanted to "really trim down everything to do with that Mommie Dearest (film). I'm not going to talk about it; maybe one thing I'm going to say about it and that's all."

Dunaway has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard which was awarded on October 2, 1996.
