BIOGRAPHY:

She was one of the hottest actresses in the 1970s playing neurotic, highly driven women with sex appeal. Life in the 1990s has not been as good. In a much-publicized incident, she was dropped as the lead in the Broadway musical "Sunset Boulevard," (based on the Gloria Swanson classic film Sunset Blvd. (1950)) and her attempt at starring in a television comedy was an unmitigated bomb.


TRIVIA:

• Is the only actor/actress to have appeared in both the 1968 version (_The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)_ (qv) and 1999 version (_The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)_ (qv) of "The Thomas Crown Affair".
• Turned down the role in _Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969)_ (qv).
• Member of Pi Beta Phi sorority.
• Was offered the role of Lillian Hellman in _Julia (1977)_ (qv) but she turned it down and 'Jane Fonda' (qv), who went on to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance, was cast instead.
• Has a connection with the James Bond - 007 franchise: was considered for the role of Domino Derval in _Thunderball (1965)_ (qv), and _Octopussy (1983)_ (qv) as the female lead ('Maud Adams' (qv) ended up with the part). Faye had a chance to co-star with 'Pierce Brosnan' (qv) (the fifth 007) in the remake of _The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)_ (qv).
• In order to be taken seriously as an actress, she turned down a regular role on _"The Guiding Light" (1952)_ (qv) in 1965.
• (October 1997) Ranked #65 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list.
