I still think Faye is better looking. Hilary is beautiful too, but for me there's just no comparison. Especially when you factor in the talent.









Everyone's entitled to their opinion though, and that's just mine.

To be honest, I love Faye, but I support Hillary. I think that once you start something in the media, you better be game to finish it. Faye (who had some great roles, but pretty much crapped out after Mommie Dearest due to her own ego getting in the way. Although, BARFLY was great) needs to learn to keep her mouth shut. She suffers from Jennifer Holliday syndrome. Professional actors keep focused on the next project and dont meander in the past. Faye is currently quite C-list. Grey Anatomy is not a comeback in any way shape or form.

I mean, who is more childish, the 20-something starlet who is still cutting her teeth or the 70 year old "legend" who starts trash talking. If the new movie tanked, Faye would have vindication without saying a word. If it is a hit, she'd be at the premiere next to Duff getting some great press.

Plus it is atrocious what Faye did to her face. She can't be cast half the time since she looks like a gargoyle.

I always think of Daphne Rubin Vega. Quiet and classy when she wasn't cast in the RENT flick. The RENT flick tanked. She comes out looking like a class act. Take notes bitter actors.

Bettyboy, you have no idea what you're talking about.

I doubt Faye is really that bitter, and she certainly is not suffering from Jennifer Holliday syndrome. She's a bit nuts, but she knows that if they're going to remake Bonnie & Clyde, you will need real actors. For Hillary Duff to open he big stupid mouth and talk trash about a woman she has no clue about, it just goes to show you what a failure she is.

Faye Dunaway is an Academy Award winning actress who has worked with the likes of Polansky, DeSica, Kazan, Preminger, Pollack, Zeffirelli and others. Few actors can boast a resume with such movies as Bonnie & Clyde, Chinatown, Network, The Thomas Crowne Affair, The Arrangement etc. She also has a pretty incredible stage career to back it up. Faye Dunaway has had a career that is so far out of grasp from Hillary that she'll need the Hubble telescope to see it.

AND She's a 68 year old woman-what right does Hillary Duff have comment on this woman's age? 30 is going to hit Miss Duff like a piano falling from the Chrysler building.

Faye Dunaway has earned her right to say what the hell she wants about her film. And all she said was that Bonnie & Clyde needed a real actress. It does, or don't make the movie at all.

Bettyboy, you've never even seen one of Faye Dunaway's movies. You're probably one of the people Hillary was talking about. Don't say you love her-you're full of crap.

I do love Faye, but she started it. Don't write checks with your mouth, that your a@# can't cash. That's all im saying.

For the record an Oscar doesn't mean much anymore. Cuba Gooding has one too.

A remake is the same thing as a revival on Broadway. People have different visions. No art is so sacred that it can't be reinterpreted.

Yes Faye is/was brilliant, but she's also prone to being a problematic. Let's not romanticzie the woman.

Also, I was critiqing Faye and Hillary, not you PattiLover, so please don't get personal and infer things about me.

NO!

Wrong, terrible analogy.

Whoa, those old pictures of Faye really are lovely.

My old boss was very good friends with Faye's brother and he didn't seem to think very highly of her.

I have nothing against Hillary Duff, but I can't imagine her in that role.

Just jumping on the "this remake is completely unnecessary" bandwagon.

And, I actually happen to think Hilary is very very pretty, but.. yeah no on talent. haha. She's *mildly* okay, as talent goes. I mean she's not THE worst actress I've ever seen, but not by any means a GOOD one. She does seem like a pretty nice girl girl- she was CERTAINLY a million times less annoying back in her Disney days than Miley Cyrus is now!


That said, I actually TOTALLY support Kevin Zegers...just in general. He happens to be extremely talented imo (Transamerica anyone?) :) Yummy too! Not gonna lie, I've kinda had a crush on him ever since the first Air Bud movie hehe

In Hilary's defense, it's not like she decided to produce and direct the film so she could star in it. It sounds like the heat should be coming down on the director, not her. And it's not as if her comment about the demographic for her films is that incorrect. Sure it was snarky, but nothing near the jab that Dunaway gave to Duff. And honestly, while I appreciate Dunaway's earlier film work, it's hard for me to have a ton of respect for her after working on the Master Class tour. I'll never forget fielding the phone calls after those delayed curtains. When I finally watched the show, I walked out at intermission.

Did Hillary say anything about Faye's looks or age, or is that a projection of posters on this thread?

[StockardFan]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 5:37pm

Phyllis, all she said in that clip was that her fans that would go see the movie probably wouldn't even know who Faye is, and that she thinks Faye's comments were a little uneccessary.

[nexttoelectric]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 5:41pm

from an article online

Duff hit back at against the Oscar-winning screen legend on Tuesday. "I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don't even know who she is," she told E! News. "I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too."

Duff commented on Dunaway's looks

Playing the Diva
Faye Dunaway turns out to be as capricious in person as she was onstage in Los Angeles recently playing Maria Callas.

By Eric Lawlor

It says something of my high regard for Faye Dunaway that, minutes after meeting her, I blurt out an apology. "I wanted to look nice for you," I say, smoothing down my new Ralph Lauren jacket. "But I don't, do I?"

Thankfully, Dunaway hears none of this. She's summoned to the phone as I start to speak and rushes from the room much the way, minutes earlier, she'd rushed into it. Dunaway rushes a lot. And when she isn't rushing—poised on the edge of her seat, trying to suppress her nervous energy—you can tell she's wishing that she were. This is a woman who has trouble being still, a woman—in the words of movie director Elia Kazan—who goes through life ever wrapped in clouds of drama.

Kazan is only partly right. Clouds of drama don't just envelop Dunaway: They envelop all who cross her path as well. I'm a case in point. It's taken months to set up this interview at the home she's renting in Los Angeles. But then, just hours ago, she's had a change of heart—the first, it turns out, of many.

I'm fond of several of her performances, but I don't know if I'd ever want to cross paths with her.

I missed that last line nextto.

[nexttoelectric]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 5:47pm

Hilary duff is a useless twat who's bitter than her horse face will be forgotten in a few years and decided to attack a screen legend for stating facts.

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 6:19pm

No, I don't think that's it.

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 7:26pm

Right on, nexttoelectric. Why remake this? With anyone?
The folks defending Hilary have seen the original...right? Right?

Dunaway was astoundingly sexy in that flick. Sooo sexy.

"Did Hillary say anything about Faye's looks or age, or is that a projection of posters on this thread?

Phyllis, at the very end she says, "I might be mad if I looked like that now, too, so..."

[nexttoelectric]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 8:50pm

yeah, i answered that several posts ago, and even posted a link to video of the comment.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 8:52pm

I did miss that line, but whatever. Faye Dunaway DOES look funny.

I don't give a crap about Hillary Duff, although I do like that one commercial for gum where her sister says, "No, you're right. You're ALWAYS right." I felt like that was a little glimpse into the world of the Duff family.

I'm just not one of those people who believes that an original version of a movie is sancrosanct. Plenty of remakes have been enjoyable. I cite "The Parent Trap" and "Last Holiday" to name only two. The original "Love Affair" was a wonderful little movie, and it was equaled in spirit and I think exceeded in pathos by "An Affair to Remember."

Also, is this is an actual remake of the Warren Beatty movie or is it just a movie about Bonnie and Clyde?

[blueroses]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 8:53pm

Sorry next. Missed it.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 2/4/09 at 8:57pm

I forgive you.

Whether it's the remake of the original or just a movie about Bonnie and Clyde- I can't see Duff fans racing to the movies to see this one. Most of them were young pre-teens (between what 6-10 with a few "older" teens mixed in). I think the only reason she was asked is because there was a photo shoot last year in one of the major mags where Duff was photographed looking like Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde. However, just because one can semi-look the part doesn't mean you can actually act the part.

Almost everyone is talking about Faye's looks nowadays. Did she get hideous plastic surgery? I haven't seen a pic of her in years...
