Faye Dunaway‘s career spans over five decades in film, television and theater. Born Dorothy Faye Dunaway in 1941, the actress has established herself as one of Hollywood’s classic leading ladies since her breakthrough performance in the 1967 film “Bonnie and Clyde.” Throughout her career, she has received an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, a BAFTA Award and more.
A documentary titled “Faye,” directed by Laurent Bouzereau, examines Dunaway’s life and career. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and will be available for streaming on Max on Saturday.
