The role of Bonnie Parker marked her career, and before she was given the role in the movie, the producers considered Sher, Ann-Margret, Tuesday Weld, and Sue Lyon for the part of this famous lady. Dunaway is also one of only four actresses to receive awards for Best and Worst Actress during her career.
She won an Oscar for her role in “Network” and earned the “Razzie Award for Worst Actress” for “Mommie Dearest.” Except for Faye, only Sandra Bullock, Liza Minnelli, and Halle Berry were able to do that.

The most famous role that Faye rejected during her career was the character of Sara Goldfarb in the “Requiem for a Dream.” The part was eventually given to Ellen Burstyn, who was also awarded an Oscar for her work. She was offered a role in the movie “Julia,” but she also declined the role, and Jane Fonda, who starred in it, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Female Actress.
