Hilary Duff Slams Faye Dunaway Right Back

Hilary Duff Slams Faye Dunaway Right Back

Hilary Duff is set to fill screen legend Faye Dunaway’s shoes as one-part of the infamous 1930s bank-robbing duo Bonnie and Clyde in the indie drama, The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Last week, Faye supposedly zinged, ”Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”

Hilary has retaliated, telling E!, “I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don’t even know who she is, so you know…. I think it was a little unnecessary but I might be mad if I looked like that now too.

Meow meow meow! Watch the video below…


Hilary Duff Slams Faye Dunaway

For the May 2008 issue of Allure, Hilary actually paid homage to Faye in a photoshoot inspired by the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde.

As much as Im not a HUGE fan of Hilary, I am ashamed of Faye. She is way passed the age were its acceptable to “make fun” and disrespect people. Its not classy in the least. Nor does she have enough skill and talent to warrant her saying it. After all, I don’t recall HER winning anything for that movie. Hilary’s response was completely justified in my mind. And also, to all you people saying she isnt a “Real” actress… how would you know? She hasnt done anything in years that could prove her Oscar worthy. She is just now coming into her prime age for that profession. After all no one can make an Oscar winning movie out of the roles she has been giving up until now. You all need to get down of your high horses :)

Hillary Duff has one of the most annoying voices I’ve ever heard in my life!
As far as looks go,she is no where near as pretty as Faye Dunaway was when she played Bonnie Parker.
Faye Dunaway looks good for her age now,which is more than I can say for Hillary Duff!
Faye had every right to expect a more experienced real actress to play the part she made legendary.
I hope Faye Dunaway goes old skool and slaps her disrespectful face!
Faye Dunaway that little halfwit hag called Hillary will never be…..

I don’t think she was in the wrong responding the way she did. What is up with all these older ppl getting mad that the younger generation is remaking them in the movie. Do you own the character? Jack Nicholson vs Heath Ledger, btw Heath played a better joker…and no its not because he died that I’m saying that..he was. Beyonce vs Etta James…and Beyonce did sing it better. I think all these ppl are suffering a midlife crisis…take it out on someone else.

Hey at least Christian Bale was honest about his behaviour. Hilary Duff still hasn’t admitted that she is not a real actress.

Hags always hating the young. GO HILARY !!!

OK maybe Hil wasn’t so right BUT this “Lady” need to respect her first!!
Any normal person instead of Hilary will react the same way.
and she CAN act =\

To be honest, Faye is right. I would be pissed too, if someone hired Duff to play a part that made me famous. Duff was not hired because she was qualified to play the role, she was hired b/c she is a pretty face and teen actor who could get a young demographic to view the film. Apparently, this movie is not the same as the cult classic and has no class b/c it’s sell point is teen angst. Duff may have the looks to play the part, but you need more acting chops to play the part. The fact that Duff accepted the role proved her ignorance as an actor - she is unqualified. Also, be gracious that Faye did not expound on her “oh, so insulting comment” b/c she could have said worse. Duff came across as just another spoiled young hollywood brat, who cannot appreciate the famous women in hollywood who paved her way. Also, I hope I look as good as Faye when I am 68! Good luck to Hillary, what goes around, comes around . . .

Hilary i LOVE YOU!!!! that old hag looks like she has her face eatin by a dog and the doc threw it back on her old brittle bones!!! Some old bitter ******* cant handle it when a prettier BETTER actress takes their role in a movie. Faye had no reason to say something like that so i waas so happy to hear what hilary said. YOU GO GIRL!!!

I am not afraid to use my real name because I will stand by my comment. I think Faye Dunaway used to be a beautiful woman, until she opened her mouth. Then she showed the world what an ugly, ugly person she is on the inside. Hilary may have faired better to ignore her and say nothing. But she has a right to a rebuttal. What’s the matter, Faye? Can dish it out, but can’t take it??

hilary, is a nice breath of fresh air in her movies and videos, turned sexy too soon, I think…the nice breath of fresh air should remain that..

and to take the place of the serious acting diva… is monumental…. and scarey for faye i’m sure… to think they might for lack of a better way to put it.. “ruin” the gravity of the movie…with light hearted, fresh air acting talent. Just such a major difference in acting practices.

Faye was harsh in her comment, knowing it would get out in public… and hilary…. you have to respect your elders and the ones that pave the way in serious acting movies…. both should guard your tongues more respectfully

hilary…if they’re going for a fresh and light acting persona on screen you might be perfect… and if they’re not…maybe you’re about to bring on something we haven’t seen in you…. we’ll have to wait and see… ;)

hilary is a little ugly ***** who only made herself look like even more of a loser then everyone already know she was.. and fans, what fans????? if you had 1 or two you lost them or at least should have after that ****** little comment. You are an ugly human being inside and out!! hope your reading!

They didn’t cast a real actress, because this isn’t going to be a real remake. Just a cheap imitation. Nothing can touch the original.

Ms Dunaway was just stating a fact. Hillary wishes she were a real actress. She plays the same character in every role she plays. This isn’t a remake of the classic, just a cheap imitation. You can’t remake perfection.

She is offending Faye Dunaway and also his fans..it is calling them ignorant.. because only ignorant not know Faye Dunaway (Academy Award winnig actress). Faye was nominated for oscar by his role in Bonnie&Clyde, so i’m curious to see the performance of Hillary (it‘s more probable be nominated for a razzie than for an oscar).

Fay Dunaway is a very talented and serious actress and was one of the most well known A list actresses of her day. And also, although Hillary Duff is quite a cute girl, she is not, and never will be, the great beauty that Fay was in her day. Not to mention Fay really does look pretty good for someone around 70.

Hilary es la MEJOOOOOR!

Love u Hilary! U rock! GO HILARY GO HILARY!!!!

@galloway:
Oh then just because u r faye dunaway u can go around insulting everyone, she is an ugly old pathetic excuse of a woman… HILARY U ROCK!

haha ah well.
initially i was thinking that hilary probably made that remark cause faye dunaway really looked like she had plastic surgery done.
so it was more of a jab at her and her plastic surgery than her age..
anyway, really looking forward to this movie. and i think faye looked great when she played the role :)

I think it’s stupid on both sides. They’re both kindish. I am a Hilary Duff Fan, but don’t think it was good to say, that Faye Dunaway looks bad. I think everyone looks bad when he/she gets older. But when Faye does diss Hilary, Hilary can diss back. That’s my opinion!

hilary is great at her acting skills as well as music…….. she said so becauze d other actress started first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

How can you play a part you have no respect for? Both women were wrong in their comments. But Hillary came off as really immature and without respect for her own role and its legend.
