Despite being one of the New Hollywood movement's most prominent actresses who starred in classics like Bonnie and Clyde, The Thomas Crown Affair, Chinatown, The Towering Inferno, Three Days of the Condor and Network, boasting a near 40 year career that has seen her win three Golden Globes, a BAFTA, an Emmy and an Academy Award, Faye Dunaway is nonetheless a two-time Razzie winner. That being said, it could have been worse given that the actress has racked up eight nominations in total for the industry's least-coveted awards. After winning the Academy Award for Best Actress on her third nomination for Network in 1976, it would be fair to say that Dunaway's career failed to reach the same heights during the 1980's that it had enjoyed the previous decade. A legendary scenery-devouring turn as Joan Crawford in 1981 cult favorite Mommie Dearest saw Dunaway awarded Worst Actress, but she luckily managed to sidestep being named Worst Actress of the Decade, 'losing out' to Bo Derek. Unfortunately, her turn in terrible thriller The Temp in 1993 saw Dunaway named Worst Supporting Actress, with her Razzies outnumbering Academy Awards two-to-one.
I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
