Faye Dunaway

I first heard this on Andy Cohen, (go figure), and the only fact confirmed is the working relationship was severed.

IDK. This woman is a huge pain in the ass and possibly bi-polar, but that said, the pink press, (20% fact, 80% gossip and innuendo by bitchy queens whose sanity is questionable themselves), has sought to decimate the woman for the past twenty years.

If you give the perspective validity for three minutes, google the woman and you'll see what I mean.

It stems from Dunaway's performance in Mommie Dearest, for it took on a life of its own which has resulted in gasoline in constant search for a fire.

Personally, I think the woman's been apologizing for the role for almost forty years and considering she's almost 80 years old, at this stage it's simply cruel.

79 year old Faye Dunaway has a decades long reputation for “diva behavior”.

Once called the worst person in Hollywood by Bette Davis,—“uncooperative & totally impossible, truly, seriously, very unprofessional, difficult woman”—-

Director Roman Polanski told “Rolling Stone”, Faye Dunaway was —“a gigantic pain in the ass”—-following a film shoot riff on the set of “Chinatown”.

In August 2018, she was fired from the Broadway bound play “Tea At Five” after allegedly slapping crew members, throwing things at them and

creating a “dangerous” environment.

—-“My first day on set, she slapped me”—- said Rutanya Alda who appeared with Dunaway in the 1981 movie “Mommie Dearest”.

Stage designer Paul Huntley who worked with Dunaway on the 1996 show “Master Class” claims,

—“Faye didn’t like the way her hairpins were presented and slapped my assistant who was horrified and didn’t know what to do.”—

Actor James Woods who worked with Dunaway on the 1976 movie “The Disappearance of Aimee” recalled,

——“how she threw something at me because I ad libbed a line. She was just so rude.”—-

Singer Jill Sobule who worked with Dunaway as an extra on a film shoot in Denver,

—“Faye was hours late, we were all waiting for her, sweating thru our costumes on the hottest day of the summer in an un-air-conditioned church.

When she arrived, she was in the foulest moods, didn’t know her lines. She yelled at people, huffed off the set. Something out of Valley of the Dolls.”—

A neighbor in West Hollywood told the LA Times,

-—“Dunaway was always getting into fights parking in anyone’s driveway. If they called the cops, she’d yell at the cops!”—-
