Faye Dunaway’s Life and Career Explored in New HBO Documentary “Faye”

Later this year, HBO will show a new documentary about the famous actress Faye Dunaway, and Max will let you watch it. “FAYE,” directed and produced by Laurent Bouzereau, who is known for his work on “Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind” and “Mama’s Boy,” will be shown for the first time in the world at the famous Cannes Film Festival in 2024.

In “FAYE,” Dunaway, who has won many awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actress, talks openly about the good and bad times in her long and successful career. She thinks back on her big break-out parts in movies like “Bonnie & Clyde,” “Chinatown,” and “Network,” for which she won the 1977 Best Actress award. However, Dunaway also talks about what she thinks was a major mistake in her career: playing Joan Crawford in “Mommy Dearest.”

The documentary goes very deep into Dunaway’s personal life and talks about how she has dealt with bipolar illness and mental health problems. It also talks about her childhood in a small Florida town and how playing strong women has affected who she is today.

“FAYE” features interviews with Dunaway’s son, Liam Dunaway O’Neill, as well as colleagues and friends like Sharon Stone, Mickey Rourke, and James Gray. Even though she is 83 years old, Dunaway has said she has no plans to retire, which shows how dedicated she is to her job.
