On Faye Dunaway’s 84th birthday, it’s time to revisit some scenes from “Mommie Dearest”
“Doooon’t fuck with me fellaaaas!”
It is Faye Dunaway’s 84th birthday and as a gay man, it is my absolute duty – and delight – the shine a light on the movie she hates to talk about but that we all love: Mommie Dearest.
She was a better Joan Crawford than Crawford herself.
I watched the documentary about Miss Dunaway that came out last year titled Faye and she made a lot more sense to me. She has not always had the best off-screen reputation (erratic, diva-like behavior) but there’s reasons for that. And the talent and the body of work is first-rate. Even though I am sure she would prefer I post clips from Network, Bonnie & Clyde, Chinatown, Three Days of the Condor or The Thomas Crown Affair, but I think we all need a little bit of camp today.
Happy birthday Miss Dunaway!
