22 years ago, when she was 56.

And here is one of the last articles with an update on the long-delayed film adaptation of "Master Class" which Dunaway was to star in and direct (the article is from August, 2013):

Yes, I saw MC in 1997 here in Los Angeles.  She was incredible.   

It's very unfortunate that the film version of MC never came to be.  Here's a more current article on "Master Class."

After funding for MC fell through, the rights expired and HBO grabbed them and announced that Mike Nichols would direct Meryl Streep in a film adaptation for their network.  He soon passed away after that, and nothing ever came of it.
