An Icon of the Silver Screen

Faye Dunaway, a self-described 'little Southern girl', was born in Bascom, Florida. Beginning her career on Broadway, she soon found her way into motion pictures, making her debut in 1967's The Happening. She received her first Oscar nod for Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, and her second for Polanski's neo-noir masterpiece Chinatown, eventually winning the award for her turn in 1976's Network.
