Runaway Dunaway

Just because Faye Dunaway agreed to talk to WOW for its AMC Backstory on Bonnie and Clyde in 2001 doesn't mean she was agreeable. Far from it. She demanded the interview take place in the presidential suite of a four-star Hollywood hotel and that she be paid $10,000 – upfront and in cash – for 30 minutes of her time. When the crew turned up to shoot the interview (a taste of which we give you here), she interviewed and dismissed nearly all who didn't please her. So there must be a lot of truth to what she says in the interview about her breakout role as bank-robber Bonnie Parker: "She's the closest to me of any part I've played."
