Bette Davis Faye Dunaway Joan Crawford Walter Hill What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

CASTING CALL FOR “WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?” REMAKE

The 1962 gruesome cult movie “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” is in the works for a remake directed, for some reason, by Walter Hill. Hill is best known for his macho action movies and westerns. Evidently he wants a change of pace. As you may recall “Baby Jane” is about two sisters fallen on hard times. Jane, played by Bette Davis, was a former child star, and Blanche, played by Joan Crawford, was a former movie queen. Jane had degenerated into a slatternly alcoholic who dressed like a ten year old, and Blanche was helpless in a wheelchair from an auto accident. They were forced to live together in a decaying Hollywood mansion in Hancock Park. So let’s throw out some casting ideas!! Of course, Faye Dunaway is everybody’s first choice for Blanche, but if she says no – how about Jessica Lange or Charlotte Rampling? (Actually Faye could play either role.) As for Jane, we could imagine Kathy Bates or Kirstie Alley in the part. Any suggestions out there?

Faye Dunaway Landlord Real Estate

FAYE DUNAWAY TO NEW YORK LANDLORD: “HAVE A TERRIBLE LIFE!”

Faye Dunaway was INDIGNANT when yesterday’s story about her landlord-tenant rent control battle came out, and she couldn’t help but defend herself. Faye insisted she CHOSE to leave the apartment because of the “state” it was in, and was NOT evicted. Her issues were bugs and the need for paint. She described her landlord as a “slum landlord” and pointed out that he had “no class.” It makes you wonder why she kept the place for 17 years if it was so awful. Faye didn’t forget to leave her landlord some choice voice mail messages, ending with “I hope you have a terrible life!”

Faye Dunaway Liam O'Neill Real Estate

FAYE DUNAWAY IS HOLDING ON TIGHT TO HER RENT CONTROL WALK-UP

We would LOVE to witness Faye Dunaway’s appearance in Housing Court in New York when she tries to avoid eviction from her rent stabilized East 78th Street apartment. Faye has rented the unglamorous one bedroom walk up since 1994 and the rent is currently $1048.72. The hallway floors are linoleum and we hate to even THINK about the bathroom in the 100 year old tenement. Faye and her son Liam’s names are on the mailbox, but they both seem to live in Los Angeles. The landlord has proof that Faye’s West Hollywood house is her primary residence, and her 2007 Toyota Corolla is registered there. He thinks he’s ready to face her in court, but imagine an irate and highly intimidating Faye as an opponent! Somebody should sneak in a camera.(Above, Faye and Liam in Cannes)

Faye Dunaway J Crew Shopping The Grove

FAYE DUNAWAY TAKES CHARGE AT J CREW

The young clerks behind the counter at J Crew in The Grove were startled when a blonde woman stormed up and grandly announced “I’m Faye Dunaway and I need to use the restroom. And I don’t want to be bothered by ANYONE!” The shaken salespeople just STARED – they didn’t know who she was, and they didn’t really allow customers to use the bathroom. But she was so intimidating that they made an exception and led her to the back room. Later Faye was looking at some cardigan sweaters and her terrified young salesman was nervously trying to help fold the garments. She looked at him and scowled “Can you NOT MANHANDLE my sweaters, please!” They will not soon forget the visit from Ms Dunaway.

Faye Dunaway Leonard Cohen Philippe

FAYE DUNAWAY HAS A THING FOR LEONARD COHEN

The last time we wrote about Faye Dunaway dining, she was wearing plastic gloves and carefully weighing her chicken and broccoli at Koo Koo Roo. But she seems to have gotten a grip on her odd food habits because she had a very pleasant meal of prawns and chicken at Philippe in West Hollywood. Faye and a female friend enjoyed their food and discussed Leonard Cohen. Both agreed they love his music, and Faye admitted that she had a crush on the 76 year old singer.

Faye Dunaway Germaphobe Surgical Mask

FAYE DUNAWAY KEEPS THE GERMS AT BAY

We love to write about Faye Dunaway because she’s always up to something. Not long ago she was observed wearing plastic disposable food handling gloves during a visit to Koo Koo Roo for dinner, and also while running errands during the day. So when she turned up and LAX wearing a Michael Jackson style surgical mask, we weren’t all that surprised. But SOME people jumped tp the wrong conclusions. Witnesses thought she might be hiding her face because she had plastic surgery, but our readers know she’s just germ conscious and didn’t want to catch anything on the plane.

Eccentricities Faye Dunaway Plastic Gloves

FAYE DUNAWAY IS WEARING THOSE PLASTIC GLOVES AGAIN!

First of all, let’s make it clear that there is NOBODY we’d rather write about than Faye Dunaway. Not only is she a glamorous movie star, but she’s eccentric beyond words, and we can’t get enough of her. Here she was photographed running errands (picking up dry cleaning, etc) and the whole time she was wearing plastic disposable food handling gloves. Dare we assume that she has become very germ conscious? Readers will fondly remember another of our Faye sightings at Koo Koo Roo that involved plastic gloves, among other things.

FAYE DUNAWAY: NEVER A DULL MOMENT

Fayecut12_468x844.jpg
Faye Dunaway turned up before 10 AM for a 10:35 show at The Grove theater one Saturday and she settled down with several sweaters and a blanket. Faye was wearing casual sweats, little wire rim glasses, an iPod, and a Gilligan hat. She turned to the man behind her and said “There’s going to be a lot of kids here in a few minutes, don’t you think?”
“Probably” he replied.
“Hmmm…I’d better go move my car.” She asked him to watch her stuff while she went to move her car. (No one could figure out what the number of children in the theater had to do with her car location.)
When she got back to her seat she frowned.
“Someone knocked over my coffee on the floor” she sighed. “I’d better get something to clean it up.”
She asked the man to watch her things again, and returned in another ten minutes with handfuls of paper towels. She dutifully cleaned up the floor and settled down just as the movie started. People seated nearby were a little disappointed when she left during the credits because she’s so fascinating to observe.

Diet Faye Dunaway

FAY DUNAWAY: EVERY OUNCE COUNTS

fayecutdunaway40C111.JPG
Diners at the Larchmont Koo Koo Roo were taken aback when they saw Faye Dunaway stride in the door wearing gym clothes and disposable clear plastic FOOD HANDLING GLOVES! Our spy said she looked muscular, slim and healthy. She ordered chicken and broccoli to go, and then she sat at a table with her food container. She pulled a tiny scale out of her purse and “in a manic way” proceeded to pull the chicken meat off the bones and weigh it. She piled the bones and skin on a napkin. She carefully weighed the chicken meat and broccoli and the broccoli was a little short so she went to the counter and asked for more. When everything was measured, she put it back in the carry-out box. She picked up the castoff chicken bones and threw them in the trash and peeled off the gloves and threw them away also. She walked out triumphant with her meal to go and we wonder WHAT super-specific diet she is on!
