the Royal after Hay ing waited a year for an she is it is a part in the Faye Dun away would have eaten on a cock Tail Why the change my life has become lighter and in much Hap she Ive got my son and my husband Terry an English and in get Ting a lot More out of in even having a comedy developed for comedy in roles it is pointed out that Many of roles have had at the very a campy there was the Way she said you did just Fine to Clyde Barrow the morning after they made or certain hilarious attitudes in and the wire hangers scene in Mommy Dearest is surely some sort of cinematic she one Doest often see Faye Dun away maybe i didst know the comedy was she i dont laugh at the in terribly i think of myself As being much too serious for my own the change kind of happened with Maud Charteris the flamboyant actress she played in last years Ellis i was just surprised at the Way i approached the i would have approached it More seriously at a different time in my but 1 wanted to give her a lighthearted she certainly looks like a new Faye Dunaway like the original sipping Tea in her hotel suite facing Central she is slim and with straight blonde hair and a creamy coloured around the room

very Wise and and she was a she actually did when Columbus came to they were in the Middle of getting the moors out of and they were spending too much Money on the War to consider one of the programs

in the court Fer Dinand As Well was interested in the Money he would untold 1 treasures in the new and so was having fought those they were but she was also interested in what he might find in the whole sense of finding a new the historical significance of and theres a Lovely last scene where Columbus feels after All the entertainment Lang great fun Dunaway plays Queen Isabella in a two part he has failed because what he has found has been so corrupted by the Isabella lifts him up and think of what you have youve discovered a new world with new look at what youve Given to the Dunaway Doest think Isabella will Lead to a string of saintly roles at least she wont accept the parts Ive done in the past rather she insisting that the trend want necessarily most problems come from the Middle and they see you in a certain there doing the hiring and the and your Best interests Are not always at they do tend to think of you As a like the last part you working on a film that Why Shes instigating her own were working on a film of a duet for terrys going to and i will weve been involved with it for a couple of Dunaway is considered some thing of a Pioneer she was one of the first big screen stars to do to films after the you can do parts on television that you cant do in she but the crossover Between the two Media is becoming Preva Lent and i think big More and will be doing
