The dynamic, glamorous and one-of-a-kind Faye Dunaway takes the spotlight
on this night, with the world
premiere of Live from the TCM Classic Film
Festival: Faye Dunaway (2017), her interview
at the Ricardo Montalbán Theater
in Los Angeles during the 2016 TCM
Classic Film Festival. In this wide-ranging
conversation with TCM host Ben
Mankiewicz, Dunaway reminisces on
working with such costars as Paul Newman,
Peter Finch and Steve McQueen;
partying with Robert Duvall and Al Pacino
in the 1970s; and creating her imposing
body of cinematic work.
We'll also be screening four of Dunaway's
outstanding movie performances
including her Oscar®-winning vehicle,
Network (1976), which she introduced at a screening during the festival. In this satire
of the television industry, written by
Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney
Lumet, Dunaway is the ruthless programming
head Diana Christensen who will
go to any lengths to ensure high ratings.
Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967),
which gave Dunaway her breakthrough
role as gun moll Bonnie Parker, brought
her first Oscar® nomination. In The Arrangement
(1969), directed by Elia Kazan
and based on his novel of the same name,
Dunaway plays the mistress of a troubled
ad executive (Kirk Douglas). The sentimental
drama The Champ (1979), directed
by Franco Zeffirelli, sees Dunaway as the
wife of an ex-boxer (Jon Voight) who is
attempting a comeback.
