NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - American actress Faye Dunaway plans to fight a lawsuit aiming to evict her from her rent-controlled apartment in New York, her attorney said.

Dunaway's landlord filed a complaint on August 2 seeking to evict her from the apartment on East 78th Street, alleging it is not her primary residence.

Dunaway first signed a lease for the one-bedroom apartment in 1994, and her rent is $1,048.72 a month. In court papers, Henry Moses of 7 of 8 Realty Co. claimed Dunaway maintains a home in West Hollywood, California, where she is registered to vote and has a driver's license.

I think you have to end it with Dunaway sobbing “I’m bicoastal!”

Back in the day, they didn't get much hotter.

Wait. You can’t rent an apartment if its not your primary residence??

I think the law is if you have a primary residence elsewhere, you don't need a rent controlled unit and the financial benefit of a cheaper apartment.

That was then. Looking back she'd say, "That's just Jake with me."

"That's just Jake with me."

I loved Chinatown. It still bothers me that a rapist creep made such a fine film.

The creep definitely played a creep in that movie.
