FAYE | Official Trailer | HBO
The Hollywood legend was filming a restaurant scene for the 1974 movie “Chinatown,” opposite Jack Nicholson, but production kept being halted by a stubborn follicle.
for being “difficult,” candidly reveals in the film, which starts streaming Saturday on Max, that her more egregious behavior over the years was due to suffering from bipolar disorder, manic depression and alcoholism. Putting a button on the fracas, the Oscar winner said: “After that hair incident, Jack nicknamed me ‘Dread’ — the Dreaded Dunaway. He still to this day calls me Dread, and I love it.”That wasn’t the only drama during the noir shoot. Dunaway also became obsessed with the lip balm brand Blistex.Koch remembers that “Lee Harmon, who was our great makeup man, had a tube of Blistex, and between every shot he’d have to put Blistex on her lips. It was her security blanket.
“I didn’t feel I was right for it because Katharine Hepburn’s New England and I’m from the South. And so there is such a different sensibility that I was worried about my being able to really play it,” Dunaway began. After departing the production, Dunaway sought out doctors who prescribed medications that she says have “helped” her.
