Faye Dunaway is one of the few true legends we have left. The iconic actress, famous for playing tough, spiteful and difficult women, is right up there with the greatest performances in cinema history.

And the 83-year-old is still at it today…

Famously remembered for her twisted cry, “no more wire hangers!” in the campy-cult classic Mommie Dearest, Dunaway is also known for Hurry Sundown with Michael Caine and Bonnie and Clyde, where she beat out Jane Fonda and Natalie Wood for the lead role.

The actress, born in Bascom, Florida, also holds three Golden Globes and an Emmy.

It’s hard to talk about Faye Dunaway’s career without mentioning the movie Mommies Dearest. Channeling the energy of Joan Crawford, Faye Dunaway stunned the crew on the set of Mommie Dearest when she first emerged from the dressing room as the iconic actress, who died four years before.

Mommie Dearest (1981) is the sensationalized film adaptation of Christina Crawford’s memoir of the same name, which tells the story of her dysfunctional relationship with her adopted mother, legendary actress Joan Crawford.

Dunaway really captured something terrifying and charming.
