FAYE DUNAWAY | 81

The 1967 film The Happening, showcased Faye’s talent and had producers hot on her tail. She landed her most decisive role the next year, when she was cast as Bonnie Parker in Bonnie and Clyde, for which she received her first Academy Award nomination. Dunaway has also received BAFTA Awards and three Golden Globes. In 2011, she was recognized by the government of France and she was honored as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters. She went on to feature in the films Three Musketeers, and Chinatown.

Dunaway’s personal life is also quite colorful. She had been romantically linked to many fellow actors, but she later got married to photographer Terry O’Neill. At the age of 79, Dunaway shows no signs of retiring and she is still active in the industry. Given the fortune she has amassed over the years, along with the investments she has made, we’re sure she no longer has to worry about her personal finances.
