What Faye Dunaway has done for a first time

Her first husband, Peter Wolf, was the lead singer of the rock band J. Geils.
Prior to living in a very modest New York City apartment on East 78th Street between First and Second Avenues, Dunaway had resided at the huge, sumptuous Eldorado on Central Park West.
At 5'7", Dunaway was taller than the non-fictional characters she portrayed on film - bank robber Bonnie Parker, First Lady of Argentina Eva PerÃ³n, and movie star Joan Crawford. Parker was only 4'11", PerÃ³n was 5'5", and Crawford was 5'3".
Moved to Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah in 1954. Joined the "Skull Valley Players" and the first production was "Harvey" as Nurse Kelly. She was 13 at the time in eighth grade. She stayed in Utah until her sophomore year in high school at Dugway.
She was the first recipient of a Leopard Club Award that honors film professionals whose work has left a mark on the collective imagination. She made a rare personal appearance at the Locarno International Film Festival to accept the award.

Faye Dunaway's quotes

The rhythms of being an actress are by definition intensity and then letting out. It's like a heartbeat.
[2008] I am furious that they think I'm too old to play the love interest of guys like Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood. Why should I play sisters and mothers while guys like Jack and Clint, who are older than me, have on-screen lovers half their age?
Dick Van Dyke is one of the sweetest and funniest men in the world.
Though I loved making The Wicked Lady (1983), in the end it just didn't have the juice it needed to be a hit. It seemed to never quite decide whether to be a farce or a drama, and so it failed by being neither.
What gave [Cold Sassy Tree (1989)] its heart were the people who were involved. It was an incredible collaboration, and I treasure the experience as much as the result, of which I am extremely proud.
[on her relationship with Marcello Mastroianni] I wish to this day it had worked out.
[2016] I'm very much a loner. I always think I would like to have a partner in life, and I would - if I could find the right person, I think.
I give myself away all the time--to the men in my life, to the people, to the agents, to the producers, so that I have nothing left.
I now turn down all roles that have me as a villainous woman. I am trying to soften things.
Work often becomes a substitute for living. But I think the most successful artists, and the happiest people, find a fullness in both areas.
Life is a process of trying to be as good as you can be. It's the striving toward a kind of perfection, knowing that you're never going to quite achieve it. But it's the trying for it that makes the difference.
I always wanted to succeed, to do the best that I could because it puts you in a position of freedom, you see. Then you can choose the road you will take, the way you will live and work.
Perhaps other people enjoy the limelight more than I do. I prefer to keep separate the public Faye Dunaway and the private Faye Dunaway.
[on Jane Fonda] Jane was always a slightly bigger star than me.
People will say whatever they say and I have no power over it.
I never liked parties, never felt comfortable. I was a little girl from the South and people were terribly judgmental. Oh, I had a hard time. I never felt good enough. I had large insecurities.
A good director will only make a good script much, much better, like Barbet Schroeder with Barfly (1987). But if the script is not good, a good director can't help the script.
I spent pretty much the entire '80s living in London. When I was coming back I was trying to figure out how I could pick up my career again.
[2002] You just sort of let them go for a while, but it was time to have something done to my teeth. I'm glad. It's going to be good. Tom Cruise has braces now, too. I'm right in style.
I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.
It's interesting as one grows older to keep in touch with the cutting edge.
[talking to a female interviewer] Softness and femininity like yours people don't expect of me; so when they find me emotional and capable of real vulnerability, they're surprised.
In this country, it is always noticed when an older woman, even just a year older, is involved with a younger man. It is one of the sillinesses of society--if a woman is any older than a man, much is made of it.
It's awfully hard to make marriage work. I've tried twice and I don't know how. To have to think of somebody else so much of the time . . . it's such a compromise.
I love films, I love television - I like to do anything if you don't have to sacrifice quality. That's the key. If you have to sacrifice doing something the best that you can do it, then you start to go crazy.
You can't change human nature and you can't change what you have become over a period of 50 years. Well, you can change it, but most people don't want to change it and they're too lazy to change it and they've been indoctrinated.
[on her looks] It's not a perfect beauty, you know. I don't think of it as being a problem, but it's not... I don't think of myself as being particularly beautiful.
