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.

go hilary!! LOVE HER!
After working with both of them, I have to say…Faye is just an evil old *****. At least Hilary show the people she works with some respect.
these hollywood retards just need to think before opening their mouths…yeah, when you won tons of acting awards, u can get away with saying something like that even if it may sound obnoxious or condescending…come on Hillary, don’t copy Jessica Alba and her stupid ways…know who you are fighting with because it could backfire on you…Faye D. is considered a real actresse based on her awards and talent and not because of her looks like most of these starlets are getting by….and honey I don’t think Faye is offended by what you said back or the legions of 12-16 yrs. old fan of yours…she was ok to me because you hardly see her make a fool out of her self like paris etc. but now can’t stand her (hillary of course)
This comment by Hilary was not cool, but Faye Dunaway shouldn’t have said anything in the first place. She’s old enough to know better.
I have to side with Faye on this one. They can wait a few years and hire Dakota Fanning or Amanda Breslin to fill the role, a “real” younger actress. But a Duff, puhleeze.
Hillary = FAIL
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD, HIL
Hillary only got this gig because they can style her to look like Faye’s iconic performance. It seems like a stupid rip-off of a true classic film, and I can understand why Dunaway is pissed.
Hilary Duff must be a stupid moron like her fans not to know who Faye Dunaway is. She is a respected actress. This little comment just might cause the Duff to lose some acting jobs. Heck, she is stuck doing teen movies forever and crappy songs. Duff is a step next to D list so pathetic. She should be sad cause she already look 50. Dunaway looks gorgeous for her age
Hahahaha!!!!!! Well said Hilary, if anything you want to pay homage to the ‘legend Faye Dunaway’ for playing Bonnie like no one else, and here she goes trying to slam you. What nerve, if anything Hilary is going to jumpstart this washed up ‘legend’s’ career! Think about it Faye, at least you’ll be MAKING MOVIES AGAIN and getting paid to so you can go see Dr. Rey about fixing you fucked up FACE!!!!!
You don’t get the right to issuse dismissive comments like Ms Dunaway’s handed to you. You earn it. Back in the day an actress had to be stunningly beautiful, a compelling and skilled performer AND blow a studio head. If she said this kind of thing about Hilary Swank we might take offense, but Hilary Duff is still giving hand jobs to the guy from craft services.
I agree with Lori - both are in the wrong - but Dunaway has not earned the right to speak that way at all! No one has that right - Lori’s right, what is her excuse for acting so poorly? Also, there’s no need to be so excessive in insulting either of them, it gets on my nerves - and yes I know I come here and read it so it’s my problem yadayada but I’m just saying that it’s all totally unecessary. Dunaway’s comment was uncalled for, and even though Hilary’s response was less than exemplary, by the looks of it Dunaway’s not exactly proved that she is role model material - Hilary should probably tone it down because she’s no Oscar winner but she’s right, one too many surgeries has really marred Dunaway’s former beauty!
Go Hilary ! It’s your birthday! Go Hilary!
Too much plastic surgery has made Faye Dunaway think that she was/is a greater talent than she ever was. Her best role was one of the worst acting performance ever- Mommy Dearest. Pure camp.
Team Hilary on this one.
first of all, doesnt hollywood have any new ideas? why are they remaking something that was fine the first time? and secondly…..Faye was absolutely right
Also, in terms of the remake, I agree that they probably should wait a few years to cast Dakota

You are so stupid to drag Jolie’s name here and besides Jolie has an Oscar, 3 golden Globes, 2 SAGs, 1 People’s Choice Award and many others. You are so ignorant to even link her wih HD. Jolie is an accomplished actress, that is she is the highest earning actress in HW. Get your facts right and don’t let hate consume you. You project your hatred of someone to something completely irrelevant. Seek help assho*e.
woah, hilary really should have just kept her mouth shut or at least kept it classy. insulting her looks was such a cheap shot.. i mean that women is in her 60’s for god sake! i doubt hilary will even look half that good when she’s that age!
and what faye said was rude, but true. hilary is not taken seriously as an actress by most people.
Faye’s comment was completely uncalled for…as a “respected” actress she should be supportive of others in her field.
Hilary is a wonderful person and has had a wildly successful career thus far…she will be amazing in this film and I think she had every right to retaliate.
Had Faye been graceful, I’m sure Hilary would have been equally as kind back. Faye got what she deserved!
To everyone trying to make a point by saying that faye Dunaway is an OSCAR winner - well so was Marisa Tomei, Marlee Matlin, Cuba Gooding Jr, Whoppi Goldberg (for the schlockfest GHOST no less), Roberto Benini, Tatum O’Neal and many more one hit wonders and poor actors.
Also, for those who say Faye looks great for someone 68 - you haven’t seen her in person up close. She is known as a inhuman plasticized bytch with a super-sized unwarranted ego. The woman has had MASSIVE plastic surgery almost as much as Joan Rivers.
She has NEVER made considered an actor of substance or incredible talent. She was considered an overacting “beauty”, you either used Racquel Welsh,the brunette who couldn’t act or you used Faye Dunaway, the blond who couldn’t act and had major attitude about it.
I have met both women and Hilary is a sweet, kind hearted soul. She works so hard and deserves this part more than anyone.
Faye is bitter and rude and probably one of the most horrible people I have ever come across…I don’t feel bad for her one bit!
First off GEEEE Hilary what a mature thing to say, just shows the world how much class you have.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second, did you ever see the movie, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty made the movie what it is. It’s one of thoese movies that many can try to copy but none will do such a great job as the two of them.
And third Paris Hilton would be better in any part of any movie then Hilary Duff, just watch one of her movies.
All of you who are on Hilary’s side are obviously a bunch of teeny boppers who dont have an clue about true talent like a vetran actress that Faye dunaway is .I cant believe they are actually going to cast somebody like Hillary Duff for such a bad girl roleShe’s just as a bad is Lohan acting.What a disaster in the making im literally scrunched in my chair here and thinking I can see the images of Hillary winning a razzie award for this movie
miapocca @ 02/03/2009 at 3:25 pm Hilary is stupid, she should have been gracious,,besides faye dunaway looked more beautiful than hilary when she was younger, hilary forgets that youth is not forever, so one day somone will pour that same medicine down her throat more forcibly than she would like…
Respect for your elders is a good thing..too bad she doesnt have any manners or respect for her elder..I for one done see what talent she showcases since I have never seen her in anything..she is not a serious movie actress and faye dunaway is…also her ignorance shows in teh fact taht she deos nto even know who played the original role that she is working on..what does that say for her version…no studying of parts but you expect to turn out a good performance..FOrtunately she will never be nominated for an Oscar otherwise she will learn how it bites when you play games with the hollywood crowd…you can get nominated but you never win…ask jolie

Wow, Jolie still manages to be someones obsession, no matter who or what the topic is about.
Faye looks beautiful for her age, and she has always been a strong woman. Hillary could take some lessons
Faye get a grip old lady and give Hilary a chance. She’s young and has many fans. She doesn’t have as many notches as you old timer but she has to start somewhere.
