BETTE DAVIS on FAYE DUNAWAY — Diva on Diva

Too bad celebs aren’t honest like this anymore.

Im usually pretty honest when I'm sauced too

Well, Faye is really very good. Best Bonnie & Clyde I ever saw.

She was basically saying she was unprofessional and difficult to work with which she has been said to have a reputation of having although she's a good actress

You really wanna piss off faye dunaway? Tell her you loved her in Dunston checks in.

Bette Davis had a problem with the Studios, but she was never unprofessional on set.
She respected the other people she worked with.

Bette was the ultimate pro she hated Crawford but always said she was the best. Saying try is about Faye tells you all you need to know

Bette was so sweet and funny in her last years. More humor and less acrimony than in, say, her 50's - even though she always said the same thing!😁❤

“That is truly what she isn’t”😂😂😂

Jan Hooks' impression just entered the room

I have to say Faye Dunaway is Fabulous.She made my era of TV and movies great!

This age, Bette Davis had no peers, so no peer pressure.

Bette was gangsta

Where’s Martin Short when we all need him?

THE BEST actress of all time. To this day.

What does Faye Dunaway think about Bette?

She did this on Johnny Carson, the BIGGEST show ever back then. That’s how much sway she had. She could go on Carson and badmouth whoever, and get away with it. What a woman!

So she was late? and thats why? Marilyn was late but she was still epic.

Andrew Lloyd Webber fired Dunaway for this very reason. Marilyn Monroe did the same thing because she was very anxious. Dunaway was just a narcissistic a-hole.

And this probably helped Faye. She needed to hear this.

Worked with her in the 80s. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!!

I LOVE BETTE DAVIS…She never lost her charm

Imagine if this was done in our current decade. Bette says this on Colbert or Jimmy Fallon. Faye Dunaway sees it and gets on Twitter/X and starts hurling abuse at Bette. A Twitter war begins. A bunch of fans chime in on either side. Meanwhile Faye's reputation grows and stops appearing in as many films. The public cancel her.

Narcissists can never coexist.

These women come from two very different periods in cinematic history. Bette began as an actor in the studio system…everything was very choreographed professionally and publicly. Because you were basically an employee of the studio…you did what your bosses told you. Davis is unique in her career…she was clever and managed to do quite a bit to make the best of being a contracted actor…until it was intolerable. I think Actors like Bette Davis helped bring that system down. I don’t think that Bette Davis was knowingly a method actor as Dunaway was. But she, on her own, implemented many skills attributed to Method. Method drove old school directors, older actors and producers nuts because the concern for the actor wasn’t to please anyone…it was to get it right and real. They worked to have agency over what they appeared in…and it’s strange that someone who butted heads with studio bosses and unsuccessfully tried suing them would, in the end, sort of champions a system that agitated her so much, with talk about professionalism, when she came up in a system that really wasn’t very professional. I think that Bette’s opinion was a generational thing. Two very different women and two very different approaches to creating a character. Oh…and she’s bipolar. Favorite performance…Barfly.

Tell us how you REALLY feel Bette! 🤣

Bette came from that Yankee culture and it shows. Sadly that Yankee culture no longer exists. R.I.P. Davis.

Funnily enough, the one person Faye seems to have really gotten on with was Raquel Welch on 'The Three Musketeers " (1973), herself known for being difficult on set. Evidently, diva spotted diva and knew when to relent.

Faye Dunaway is a marvelous actress but not a very nice person

I LOVE that she just came out and spoke the truth. No BS Hollywood politics. You’re an entitled, rude person? Bette will straight up tell you. We need more of that.

I believe Bette Davis any time of the day or night. Faye Dunaway is a hack and a disgusting person. If she would have had any self respect, she would NEVER had did Mommie Dearest. Never.

I like how she’s always like “let’s just say she’s not a professional and leave it at that….BUT-” 😂 I love her

“Being there for the makeup man when he wants you”

I LOVE BETTE DAVIS HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE AND WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE A LEGEND . REST IN HEAVENLY PARADISE MS. DAVIS LOVE YOU 😊.

Dunaway...has a ...BAD .. reputation....END..!!!!😊

Bette Davis was probably jealous. Faye was stunning

Just finished the Divine feud book. Davis was like Dunaway in her own height of fame in the forties. Maybe more pro…but impossible to deal with.

When a reporter called bett to let her know joan had died .they ask bett for a statement
Bett said
My mum always told me never say anything bad about somone who died only say good
Joan Crawford is dead. Good

Miriam hopkins was also a strong dislike from miss davis too!

I wonder what has Miss Dunaway's response to this. Based on Ms. Dunaway's last stage performance, Betty was on to something.

DUNAWAY IS LUCKY TUESDAY WELLS TURNED DOWN BONNIE AND CLYDE.

It's interesting that there was so much hype about Davis an Joan Crawford supposedly not getting along but Davis didn't seem to say that in any of these interviews.

This woman was so sharp! Absolutely a star.

Faye Dunaway is a great actress, mind this y'all she's truly mesmerising she has some wonderful works from Chinatown, bonnie and clyde, network but the way she is that kind of an actress that her legacy is erased in some way especially after she did mommie dearest

A true professional, non nonsense, feisty, intelligent and memorable woman. 🚬

Faye never responded. She couldn’t be bothered.

Legend of all time
