[edit] Early life

Dunaway was born Dorothy Faye Dunaway in Bascom, Florida, the daughter of Grace April (née Smith), a housewife, and John MacDowell Dunaway, Jr., a career army non-commissioned officer.[1] She attended the University of Florida,[2] Florida State University,[3] and Boston University, but graduated from the University of Florida in theater. In 1962, Dunaway joined the American National Theater and Academy. Also Faye has a brother that served in WW2 and her brother was a fallen comrade in the European Campaign. Her brother and herself were rumored to be close and she told him everything, even looking up to him. She has also built a house for her parents in Bascom has a road named after herself. [edit] Career

Dunaway 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 The Happening. In 1967, she was in Hurry Sundown, but that same year, she gained the leading female role in Bonnie and Clyde opposite Warren Beatty, which earned her an Oscar nomination. She also starred in 1968 with Steve McQueen in the caper film The Thomas Crown Affair (and had a small role in the 1999 remake with the same title with Pierce Brosnan).

It was in the 1970s that she began to stretch her acting abilities in such films as Three Days of the Condor, Little Big Man, Chinatown, The Three/Four Musketeers, Eyes of Laura Mars, and Network, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress as the scheming TV executive Diana Christensen. She worked with such leading men as Dustin Hoffman, Charlton Heston, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Tommy Lee Jones, Jack Nicholson, and Robert Duvall.

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. She received a Razzie Award for Worst Actress, and the critics despised the film, although it grossed a moderate $19 million in its first release and was one of the top 30 grossing films of the year. In 1987 she was nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama for her performance in Barfly with Mickey Rourke. In a later movie, Don Juan DeMarco (1995), Dunaway co-starred with Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando.

Dunaway starred in the 1986 made-for-television movie Beverly Hills Madam opposite Melody Anderson, Donna Dixon, Terry Farrell and Robin Givens. In 1993, Dunaway briefly starred in a sitcom with Robert Urich, "It Had to Be You". Dunaway won an Emmy for a 1994 role as a murderer in "It's All in the Game," an episode of the long-running mystery series Columbo.

In 1996, she toured nationally with the stage play Master Class. The story about opera singer Maria Callas was very powerful and well received. Dunaway bought the rights to the Terrence McNally play for possible film development.

In 2006, Dunaway played a character named Lois O'Neill in the sixth season of the crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. 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 the spring of 2007, the direct-to-DVD movie release of Rain, based on the novel by V. C. Andrews and starring Dunaway, was released. In 2009 Dunaway stars in film The Bait by Polish film director and producer Dariusz Zawiślak. The Bait is a contemporary version of a drama Balladyna by Polish 19th - century poet Juliusz Słowacki.

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

Dunaway has been married twice, from 1974 to 1979 to Peter Wolf, the lead singer of the rock group The J. Geils Band, and from 1984 to 1987 to Terry O'Neill, a British photographer. She and O'Neill have one child, Liam O'Neill (born 1980). In 2003, despite Dunaway's earlier claims that she had given birth to Liam, Terry revealed that Liam was adopted.[4]

Dunaway is an adult convert to Roman Catholicism.[5] [edit] Filmography Year Film Role Notes 1967 Hurry Sundown Lou McDowell Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles also for Bonnie and Clyde The Happening Sandy Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie Parker Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles also for Hurry Sundown Nominated — Academy Award for Best Actress Nominated — Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama 1968 The Thomas Crown Affair Vicki Anderson Amanti Julia 1969 The Extraordinary Seaman Jennifer Winslow The Arrangement Gwen A Place for Lovers Julia 1970 Little Big Man Mrs. Louise Pendrake Puzzle of a Downfall Child Lou Andreas Sand Nominated — Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama 1971 The Deadly Trap Jill Doc Katie Elder 1973 Oklahoma Crude Lena Doyle The Three Musketeers Milady de Winter 1974 Chinatown Evelyn Cross Mulwray Nominated — Academy Award for Best Actress Nominated — BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role Nominated — Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama The Towering Inferno Susan Franklin The Four Musketeers Milady de Winter 1975 Three Days of the Condor Kathy Hale Nominated — Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama 1976 Network Diana Christensen Academy Award for Best Actress David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actress Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress Nominated — BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role Voyage of the Damned Denise Kreisler 1978 Eyes of Laura Mars Laura Mars 1979 The Champ Annie 1980 The First Deadly Sin Barbara Delaney 1981 Mommie Dearest Joan Crawford Razzie Award for Worst Actress (tied with Bo Derek) Evita Peron Evita Peron 1983 The Wicked Lady Lady Barbara Skelton 1984 Ordeal by Innocence Rachel Argyle Supergirl Selena Ellis Island Maud Charteris Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film Terror in the Aisles archival footage 1985 Thirteen at Dinner Jane Wilkinson 1986 Raspberry Ripple Matron + "M" 1987 Barfly Wanda Wilcox Nominated — Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama 1988 Midnight Crossing Helen Barton The Gamble Countess Matilda Von Wallenstein La Partita Burning Secret Mrs. Sonya Tuchman 1989 Frames from the Edge Herself documentary On a Moonlit Night Mrs. Colbert In una notte di chiaro di luna Wait Until Spring, Bandini Mrs. Hildegarde 1990 The Handmaid's Tale Serena Joy The Two Jakes Evelyn Mulwray voice only 1991 Scorchers Thais 1992 Double Edge Faye Milano Lahav Hatzui 1993 Arizona Dream Elaine Stalker The Temp Charlene Towne 1995 Unzipped Herself – uncredited Documentary Don Juan DeMarco Marilyn Mickler Drunks Becky 1996 Dunston Checks In Mrs. Dubrow Albino Alligator Janet Boudreaux The Chamber Lee Cayhall Bowen 1997 In Praise of Older Women Condesa The Twilight of the Golds Phyllis Gold Nominated — CableACE Award for Supporting Actress in a Movie or Miniseries Nominated — Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie Rebecca Mrs. van Hopper TV miniseries 1998 Gia Wilhelmina Cooper Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Series, Miniseries or Television Film Nominated — Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film 1999 Love Lies Bleeding Josephine Butler The Thomas Crown Affair The Psychiatrist The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc Yolande of Aragon 2000 The Yards Kitty Olchin Stanley's Gig Leila Running Mates Meg Gable Nominated - Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film 2001 Yellow Bird Aurora Beavis Short subject – also director Festival in Cannes Herself Cameo 2002 Mid-Century Blue/Mother Changing Hearts Betty Miller The Rules of Attraction Mrs. Eve Denton Man of Faith Mae West 2003 Blind Horizon Ms. K 2004 Last Goodbye Sean Winston El Padrino Atty.
