  • Faye is the only actress who has starred in both versions of the heist film, The Thomas Crown Affair. She played Vicki Anderson in the 1968 original and essayed a psychiatrist in the 1999 remake.
  • The Chinatown actress and her director Roman Polanski frequently clashed on the sets of their 1974 film. While Dunaway described him as a bully, he infamously declared her ‘a gigantic pain in the a**’.
