IMDB
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 only 14 years older than 'Diana Scarwid' (qv), who played her daughter in _Mommie Dearest (1981)_ (qv).
- Her performance as 'Bonnie Parker (II)' (qv) in _Bonnie and Clyde (1967)_ (qv) is ranked #34 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.
- She auditioned for the role of Daisy that went to 'Mia Farrow' (qv) in _The Great Gatsby (1974)_ (qv). Her 1995 autobiography was titled "Looking for Gatsby: My Life."
- Attended Boston University. Gave up a Fulbright Scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London to join the original training program at the Lincoln Center Repertory Theater in New York. She got her first starring role in "A Man For All Seasons" just days after graduating from college. She was the daughter of a career army man which resulted in her traveling constantly in her early life.
- According to the commentary by John Waters on the _Mommie Dearest (1981)_ (qv) DVD, Dunaway feels the film's reception ruined her career, to an extent, and she refuses to discuss the film (hence her lack of participation in its release).
- Mother of 'Liam Dunaway O'Neill' (qv) from her marriage to renowned British photographer 'Terry O'Neill (II)' (qv).
- Her real-life portrayal of actress 'Joan Crawford (I)' (qv) in the critically panned film _Mommie Dearest (1981)_ (qv) was ranked #41 on the villains list of the 100 years of "The Greatest Screen Heroes and Legends."
- Her portrayal of 'Bonnie Parker (II)' (qv) in _Bonnie and Clyde (1967)_ (qv) was ranked #32 on the villains list of the 100 years of "The Greatest Screen Heroes and Villains." She shared this honor with 'Warren Beatty' (qv), who played 'Clyde Barrow' (qv).
