词条 | Dunaway, Faye |
释义 | Dunaway, Faye American actress in full Dorothy Faye Dunaway born Jan. 14, 1941, Bascom, Fla., U.S. American actress known for her tense, absorbing performances. She enjoyed early success on stage and then gained international stardom for her work in films. Initially studying to become a teacher, Dunaway entered the University of Florida in Gainesville on a teaching scholarship, but she transferred to Boston University's School of Fine and Applied Arts, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1962. Although offered the opportunity to study at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Dunaway accepted instead a role in the American National Theatre and Academy production of A Man for All Seasons (1962). Three years later she won critical acclaim for her role in William Alfred's Hogan's Goat (1965). Her television and film debuts followed shortly thereafter. ![]() Although she continued to perform in films, few of her later vehicles achieved any measure of critical success. Her chilling portrayal of Joan Crawford (Crawford, Joan) in the biopic Mommie Dearest (1981) thrilled some but alienated most, especially in Hollywood, where she found increasingly less work. She gave memorable performances in Barfly (1987) and Arizona Dreams (1993) and continued to act on television and the stage, most notably as opera diva Maria Callas (Callas, Maria) in Terrence McNally's Master Class. Dunaway's autobiography, Looking for Gatsby (written with Betsey Sharkey), was published in 1995. |
