I love that even Bette Davis complained about her, you really know that someone’s a piece of work when Hollywood’s original bad girl calls you unprofessional. They sure are entertaining to watch but I’m happy I don’t have to work them.
Dunaway was infuriated (imagine that) when "Mommie" was labeled as camp. She thought it would be autobiographical. I sit, and roll with laughter with her campy costumes, and one liners.
@@paulnejtek6588 I think she just meant blame doesn't go far in reforming people, it's a mostly useless reaction. I don't think she was saying his behavior is incorrigible
@@gregwilliams3120 True, but Bette's story was pretty spot on. Faye kept the entire cast and crew waiting in a hot, unairconditioned church for hours. Bette started singing and entertaining everyone to pass the time.
She's definitely a great talent, but she doesn't have the filmography to back it up. Her great roles came in the 70s, and then, fair or not, her reputation caught up with her and she's been relocated to bit parts or straight-to-video schlock.
@@jedijones It's cute that you think Tom Cruise has stayed at the top for 40 years. Dude's range is beyond limited, and I'm not talking about star power or celebrity here. Dunaway was a talent, and could have had a career full of gems and masterpieces had her reputation not earned her the ire of Hollywood elites. Cruise, and even to a certain extent Hanks, were Hollywood stars with lots of Hollywood schlock in their filmography. They played the game, made the most of their limited talent, and stayed in the public eye for decades. Dunaway could have been spoken of in the same way Streep and De Niro are spoken of, and I'd argue she was a more electric performer than Streep ever was. It's just a shame she wasn't given the opportunity to showcase that in her later years.
Nope it was the f@ggot he pulled this same shit before with another actress and as far as BD, who the hell would want to work with that ridiculous clown
I always got really creepy vibes from Andrew Lloyd Webber, especially after I saw an interview of him with Michael Crawford, and he was putting his arm around Michael and Michael was basically pushing him away in the most discreet manner.
I don’t feel an ounce sorry for anyone that mistreats people doing their job. She could have had an even more illustrious career but her cruel behavior, well, karma. She earned her negative reputation all on her own.
She did in fact have an illustrious career. Go online and look at her movie database. She is also a recipient of many Awards. When men are A holes in the business, they are considered smart, business savvy, intelligent but when women have to fight as hard as men to attain something in any Industry, they are considered #_@--! Give me a break!
Listen he fired Patti LuPone as well prior to this. Unbelievable. TOO QUICK TO JUMP ON AN OPPORTUNITY. Well with LuPone he had the Sydminton festival where she performed what they had of the show at the time. It was a workshop if u will.
"Damn it ! Perinos is my place!...do you expect me to just walk in there and ignore my fans!?! They're life and death for me baby...they're the ones that made me!!!!"
So, translation: he hired her for her name and celebrity status, overlooking any faults (b/c in the end, it's about money and how much you can bring in). But, then she must have been acting like a prima donna, so much so that he dropped her. That's my theory.
Here's what happened. Faye is a monster - impossible to work with and bordering on psychotic. Bette Davis spent the last two years of her life going on every talk show telling the world about this. Despite Davis' tacit warning, Andrew Lloyd Weber hired Dunaway simply for box office appeal., and knowing full well that she was no good for the part. Throughout rehearsals, Dunaway did her usual routine of driving everyone insane. You would have had to be there to understand how she behaves. Like a dream, it's very hard to describe. Finally, millions of dollars be damned, Weber got rid of her. He and the entire production staff reached a breaking point. Trust me, you can only take so much of Faye's madness until you finally slam the lid. To add insult to injury, Weber told the press, for all intents of purposes, that Dunaway could not sing well enough to play the part. That was his way of executing her. He knew full well her singing wasn't up to snuff when he hired her, but he felt it was better to slam her talents than to say he hated her guts.
Faye Dunaway of Mommie Dearest Fame was due to play Norma Desmond in a musical version of Sunset Blv 😮.... Im sure I'm not alone in thinking Andrew Lloyd Webber robbed the LGBT community!
They are. Alec Baldwin, Chevy Chase, Sean Penn, Mandy Patinkin, etc. They all have reputations. But yes, a lot of women have been unfairly labeled as such.
According to Christina, that never happened. In a lot of Christina's interviews, she seems to be defending her mother. The wire clothes hanger thing didn't happen. Make's me wonder who thought up this scenes.
Biting the hand that feeds you is never wise. After years of being an absolute titan of her craft, she has perhaps cultivated an unhealthy degree of narcissism. Such people are eventually avoided and abandoned, as they have rejected the wisdom and counsel of others for far too long.
I’ve lived and worked for Ms Dunaway in her Los Angeles home and I can attest to the fact that she is a professional. She is not quarrelsome but don’t F with her fellas or you’re gonna be sorry. Who the F is Amdrew Loyd Webster anyway? Nobody even remembers him‼️
@@ellebell9139 Ms Dunaway sends her regards. I just got off the phone with her; she read your comment and says you’re an unfortunate soul who will never amount to anything. That she is rn at the Caned festival and you’re in your living room taking up space…
Weber only started casting people who could not manage the written tessitura or even the actual voice type after the 2000's. This is when Phantoms suddenly became football player build baritones instead of metallic and high belting Tenors as was written. The Christine's became soubrettish light warbly sopranos instead of lyric coloraturas. The Evita's became sopranos with moans instead of belting..and then the Normas became hint ofs singers. Dunaway is in the hunt of transposed school and that was t happening in the 90's early 2000's really. Now it's absurd as they cast people who have half voices or fake it.
When Carson pressed Bette Davis on her least favorite person to work with she answered "one million dollars....Faye Dunway....anyone who you can put into this chair will tell you the same thing".
Capricious is my new favorite word
Ngl I started using it whenever I could after watching this.
Lots of capriciousness , three in fact
Faye is a gift😂❤

This video lives rent-free in my head.
i like how she looks at the camera and not the interviewer lol
There's a saying, "Always know where your camera is." She's pulling away any attention on the interviewer.
She knows what she’s doing.

Clean up this mess.
"Barbara please!!! Please Barbara!!!!"

Don't F*** with me, fellas!!!!
This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.
Faye is a difficult person to deal with, as said by some people who worked with her.
I worked with her in the 80s in Argentina, she was difficult to deal with and was a diva even then
@James-qd8he Bette Midler?!?!?! Really?!?! Wow! I didn’t expect that!
Even legend Bette Davis said Faye Dunaway was the most unprofessional and difficult actress she’s ever worked with.
I heard Bette was no day at the beach, either.
Banter like that from both sides is par for the course when it comes to dueling divas.
@@gregwilliams3120 True, but Bette's story was pretty spot on. Faye kept the entire cast and crew waiting in a hot, unairconditioned church for hours. Bette started singing and entertaining everyone to pass the time.
Yep, Bette was a pro, didn’t show up late,knew her lines,etc….
@@PerAllwin1963 “I’m not dying for you sons-a-bitches!” 😀 Great stuff from Mrs. Davis…what a world beater.

I wonder if Tandalaya will chime in
She is so fabulous in this interview
No one is as big a "Star" as Dunaway thinks she is. Bette Davis was more fond of Joan Crawford than she was of Faye Dunaway.
Bette respected Joan for her professionalism,unlike Faye’s lack of.
I have a feeling that her being fired was a little more than just her vocal range. Faye may be a little capricious herself!
Bette Davis--no wallflower herself--publicly said that she wouldn't work with Faye Dunaway again under any circumstances.
This is wonderful. THIS IS WONDERFUL. YOU. You deliberately embarrassed me in front of a REPORTER.
Nope it was the f@ggot he pulled this same shit before with another actress and as far as BD, who the hell would want to work with that ridiculous clown
@@UncleDavesKitchenA REPORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realize she's known to be difficult, but Andrew Lloyd Webber is too... look what he did with Lupone over the SAME role.
Faye Dunaway is a movie legend. American royalty.
Faye Dunaway is a true diva.
How far is that going to get her in the afterlife?? Nowhereville.
nah
I always got really creepy vibes from Andrew Lloyd Webber, especially after I saw an interview of him with Michael Crawford, and he was putting his arm around Michael and Michael was basically pushing him away in the most discreet manner.
Michael Crawford another one who was notoriously difficult. His nickname with his co workers was Joan Crawford. A huge diva, by all accounts.
Shes great smart and stands up for herself you go girl!
Barbara, please...
Capricious!
a bit full of herself, you should witness her treatment of a restaurant server or limousine driver, insufferable and mean.
Box office poison !!!! Tina being me the capricious axe
Faye is just not a nice person
Wretched in fact.
And you know this because?
She speaks highly of you.
Just don't get in her eyeline
I met her when she was doing Master Class. She was not nice.
She spoke the truth 😊
Andrew Lloyd Webber did the same thing to Patti LuPone. She sued and won.
Seriously??!
@strangerthings88 Patty LuPone don't play. Like she says "People either love me or they hate me" I love me some Patty❤
@@Cv227a I meant seriously he did the same thing to her..
@@strangerthings88 very well aware of that.
The long gone Shubert theater in Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles.
At the time there were rumors Sir Andy had to pay Faye a LARGE settlement.

No studio, no contract, no MONEEEY!!!!😅😂

Yes
She would have been great without music.

All these clips do is prove that Faye dunaway was a class act. She was well-spoken and elegant.
She said “we’re a product of who we are”
Ms. Dunaway. As B.Davis stated, is nothing but TROUBLE 😮😮😮😮😮😮😢
Mommy dearest is about faye it was never Joan crawford
So true!
To be fair, Webber was RIGHT in her EYELINE.
I can imagine she would have been a nightmare to work with. But would have been interesting to see her as Norma ❤
Why can't you give me the RESPECT that I'm entitled TO?!
