Who else does that sound like?

Here’s some scalding tea for you: Faye Dunaway was fired from what would have been a Broadway production of Tea at Five, thanks to some utterly unhinged behavior on-set.
According to the New York Post, the 78-year-old Dunaway lost her role playing Katharine Hepburn after production members accused her of creating a “hostile” and “dangerous” work environment. To the pull quotes!
The July 10 performance was canceled moments before curtain because Dunaway slapped and threw things at crew members who were trying to put on her wig, sources say. Enraged at the cancellation, Dunaway began “verbally abusing” the crew. They were “fearful for their safety,” said one source.
Was this a one-off tantrum? An aberration for an otherwise kind and composed professional? Seems not.
But her behavior was unsettling at an early photo shoot. Someone gave her a salad for lunch and she threw it on the floor. She was watching her weight and said the salad would be better on the floor than in her hand.
The Post also reports Dunaway was often up to two hours late for rehearsals, and never bothered to learn her lines—difficult to pull off, it being a one-woman show. Despite having the script in hand for six months, she got through previous performances of the play by being fed lines through an earpiece.
While in rehearsal she left what one production source called “troubling, rambling, angry” voicemails to the creative team during the middle of the night. She also insisted that no one wear white to rehearsals because it “distracts me,” she said. When she was rehearsing on stage at the Huntington no one was allowed to move in the theater because that also distracted her.
Apparently Dunaway “hates white,” which must make every day living around things like paper towels and Maltese dogs and clouds very difficult. It’s hard being Faye Dunaway!
Except she has been like this ( Dunaway as a TERRIBLE reputation! )for a very long time!
No - just stupid.
it sounds a lot like Ahlzeimer’s sundowning.
The “hangers” thing was supposedly Joan Crawford; NOT Faye Dunaway, who starred in the movie made from the Crawford book.
,,and the Lighting,
Don’t Forget LIGHTING!
Who else does that sound like?
Agreed,
I call Them
“No Talent Primadonnas!”
Dunaway claimed that those wearing white clothing at rehearsals were a distraction.
Sad to see someone losing their mind like that.
RZ in “Cold Mountain”
Absolutely Love Her.
Faye CrayCray.
I know that most FReepers hate Hollywood. But it takes a special kind of skill level to be an actor or actress. Conservatives who sneer that being an actor, pretending to be someone else, are really missing the point. A lot of actors simply don’t make the cut, which is why so many of them gravitate to porn thinking that they’ll get a break.
Sunset Boulevard redux.
Pictures on here recently with Her and the Obamas and others in some foreign Country, Pictures also
Guess there were pictures. LOL
She’s ruined her looks with cosmetic surgery.

Oh heavens to mergatroids NOOOOOOOOOO! Not salad o n the floor! What a monster!
[[“troubling, rambling, angry” voicemails to the creative team during the middle of the night.]]
Well golly Gee Wiz Snowflakes- deal with it- hollyweird is chockerblock full of prima donna personalities like that- always has been- they dealt with it- but i guess these folks complaining are special?
She was a truly talented and beautiful person.
Here's a pic of her from the silent movie "Teddy At The Throttle" made in 1917.
Yes. Teddy is the dog.
