Unlike many other fawning documentaries about big stars, HBO’s Faye is fascinatingly candid and unvarnished
Faye: The Many lives of Faye Dunaway, now streaming on Max in the US, is a refreshingly frank portrait of a genuinely interesting star. In fact it is often surprisingly candid. The director Laurent Bouzereau is a friend of the actor’s son Liam Dunaway O’Neill, who appears several times, so it is naturally a very compassionate film. Crucially, however, it confronts without flinching the subject’s reputation for being what is euphemistically described as “difficult” – so much so that even the redoubtable Bette Davis told Johnny Carson she would never work with her again.
The documentary begins with Dunaway on edge, haranguing the film-makers to get started. She displays both the tetchiness and the perfectionism – the couch, the camera angle just aren’t right – that fed into that notorious reputation. But her face...

It’s a fine line between genius and madness, and an even thinner, barely visible gossamer thread that demarcates genius and being categorized as difficult. Faye Dunaway has been labeled both, though in a competition between those two descriptives, “difficult” often had a three-to-one lead. Most documentaries about legendary stars would sand off its subject’s rough edges and try to present the most hagiography-friendly version imaginable. Faye, much like the force of nature (note that we did not say maelstrom) at the center of this movie, takes a bumpier road less traveled.

Early in Faye, Laurent Bouzereau’s entertaining portrait for HBO of screen legend Faye Dunaway, Bette Davis in a Johnny Carson clip names her without hesitation as the one star with whom she would never work again. Considering this is clearly a very authorized and deeply respectful bio-doc, it’s surprising how candidly it digs into the star’s reputation for being temperamental and demanding. Dunaway even plays into it herself — the first words we hear are her impatiently nudging the director to roll cameras on the present-day interview that binds the many recollections and self-reflections together.
“We need to shoot; I’m here now, come on,” says an exasperated Dunaway. Seated on a comfortable-looking sofa in an airy New York apartment living room, she huffs, “This is the worst seat in the world. I’m not happy with anything here.” But when she then snaps, “I need a glass of water,...

Wonder Woman was portrayed by iconic actor Linda Carter in the 1970s. But before Carter officially secured the role, David Bowie’s ex-wife claimed that she tried out for the part. According to her, the experience was so unpleasant that it was a reminder of everything she hated about Hollywood.

David Bowie’s first wife, Angie, had the opportunity to portray the iconic superhero back in the 1970s. In Bowie’s version of events, even though she was asked to audition for the character, the project’s producers didn’t plan on hiring her. Bowie’s Wonder Woman rehearsal was just a means to an end.
“I tried out but it was already given to Lynda Carter; the agent was one of the producers and Lynda was his girlfriend.

London – A psychedelic eye mosaic commissioned by John Lennon for the swimming pool at his Kenwood home in Surrey in 1965 leads Bonhams’ Rock, Pop & Film sale on Wednesday 29 November at Knightsbridge, London.
Claire Tole-Moir, Bonhams Head of Popular Culture in London, commented: “This monumental mosaic, commissioned by John Lennon is a striking example of the Beatle’s artistic vision and influences. Lennon’s Kenwood home in the English countryside was a place of respite from all the public attention he experienced during the height of The Beatles’ popularity. It’s said Lennon would spend idle hours near the swimming pool and that the mosaic could even be seen from his favoured ‘sunroom’ at the top of the house. With Kenwood still under private ownership, it is very rare to see anything from when John Lennon lived there, making the ‘Psychedelic Eye’ mosaic an incredibly important artefact of Beatles history.”

The year was 1975. Elton John, backed by a barrage of No. 1 albums and hit singles, hit Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for back-to-back sold-out shows.
The concerts became legendary in pre-viral times, thanks to an electric set from John, then 28, who tickled the ivories and roared into the microphone while dressed in a shimmering Bob Mackie-designed Dodgers uniform, blue sequined baseball cap and oversized white glasses. John was the first act to perform at the stadium since the Beatles in 1966, and a superstar was born. “In October, 1975, no one was bigger than Elton John. He was like Elvis at the height of his career,” once explained Terry O’Neill, the photographer responsible for the iconic images of the Dodger Stadium shows. “Elton still is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met and he gave his all at those concerts.”

Elton John will be at the Oscars on Sunday because he is nominated with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from “Rocketman.”
Even so, that doesn’t mean he’s going to miss his annual viewing and afterparty benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
“As soon as the category has been presented, we have a police escort to zoom from the Dolby Theater to get here as quickly as possible,” John’s husband and “Rocketman” producer David Furnish told Variety on Thursday at the site of the party in West Hollywood Park. “Hopefully we get here before the actual Oscar broadcast ends. This is where we need to be.”
While John and Furnish are at the Oscars, the stars of “Queer Eye” will serve as hosts of the 28th annual soiree.

Hollywood film star accused of having rent-controlled apartment in New York under false pretences
As an act of rule-breaking, it is not in the league of Bonnie Parker, the legendary bank robber who tore around the American hinterland ambushing and killing in a cloud of gun smoke. But it has put Faye Dunaway, the actor who played Parker in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, back in the headlines.
Dunaway has been hauled in front of a housing court in Manhattan accused of enjoying a rent-controlled flat under false pretences, the New York Times revealed. In court papers studied by the newspaper, she is accused of paying rent set at $1,048.72 (£639.16) a month though she does not live in the premises.
The unidentified landlord at her one-bedroom flat on the Upper East Side of Manhattan claims Dunaway lives in Los Angeles, pointing to her West Hollywood voter registration and car documentation as evidence.

Happy 70Th Birthday, Faye Dunaway!
Hollywood legend Faye Dunaway celebrates a milestone birthday on Friday as she turns 70 years old.
The Oscar-winning actress broke into acting in the 1960s on the Broadway stage, before going on to film some of the most iconic movies of all time.
To wish Dunaway a very special 70th birthday, WENN has compiled 10 fascinating facts about the onscreen siren:
- She was born Dorothy Faye Dunaway on a farm in Bascom, Florida in 1941.
- The actress has been married twice - from 1974 to 1979 to Peter Wolf, lead singer of rock group The J. Geils Band, and from 1984 to 1987 to British photographer Terry O'Neill.
- Dunaway has one son with O'Neill called Liam.
- Her breakthrough role was in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, which catapulted her to superstardom opposite Warren Beatty. She saw off competition from Natalie Wood and Beatty's sister Shirley MacLaine to land the part.
- She auditioned for the role of Daisy in The Great Gatsby, but it went to Mia Farrow. She later called her autobiography Looking For Gatsby: My Life.
- Dunaway won a Best Actress Academy Award for 1976's Network.
- In 1977 she was offered the part of Lillian Hellman in Julia - she turned it down and the role went to Jane Fonda, who picked up a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance.
- In 1996 she converted to Roman Catholicism.
- Dunaway is one of only four actresses to win both an Oscar for Best Actress, as well as a Razzie Award for Worst Actress. The other stars boasting the same dubious honour are Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock and Liza Minnelli.
