There are many stories about Faye Dunaway being a nightmare.

Katherine Heigl earned that reputation. And her roles became less and less noteworthy. It happens when you keep badmouthing the stuff that made you a star.

Rosie O'Donnell. So she became a chat show host.
Chevy Chase was always difficult, he came to fisticuffs with Bill Murray in the early days of 'Saturday Night Live'. He then became a chat show host but bombed amidst allegations of obnoxious behaviour. So he became a born-again Christian, denounced his own work and made some family films. Dude's crazy.

Aussie what is the story about Marilyn flubbing some 50 takes and another actress said “ I’m sorry you’re having a bad time with this “ and Marilyn replied “What bad Time? “ apparently not knowing thatt she was the cause of the 50 takes. I have always thought it was Celeste Holme telling that tale, but the only film they made together was All about Eve, and Marlyn had no complex scene that could have needed 50 takes do you know if it’s true, what film it was from and who was telling tge story?

I've heard that one but can't place it. I recall a number of stories from Lemmon, Curtis and Wilder about her problems on Some Like It Hot.

There are many stories about Faye Dunaway being a nightmare. I'm only familiar with the one from the set of Chinatown, where Polanski was so unnerved by her behaviour that he ripped out one of her hairs.

I seem to remember that Chevy Chase was originally considered for the lead role in American Beauty, but he turned it down, becuase he didn't want to do drama.

There are many stories about Faye Dunaway being a nightmare. I'm only familiar with the one from the set of Chinatown, where Polanski was so unnerved by her behaviour that he ripped out one of her hairs. Here's a partial list: On the set of Chinatown, Dunaway had an aversion to flushing the toilet in her dressing room and demanded that crew members do it. She also reportedly urinated in trash cans on the set. When Polanski told her to wait for a bathroom break, she allegedly retaliated by tossing a cup full of urine into Polanski's face (well, brava for that one, anyway). On the set of Mommie Dearest, her character was supposed to slap the actress playing her personal assistant. Instead of a stage slap, she slapped the actress for real. On the same movie, she held up a day of filming while demanding that her then-husband be given a producer credit on the film, although he had nothing to do with the making of the film. She worked on the TV movie The Disappearance of Aimee with James Woods and Bette Davis. Woods claimed that she threw something at him after he ad-libbed a line. Years later, Bette Davis, when asked by Johnny Carson whom she considered the worst people in Hollywood, she immediately named Dunaway because of her experience working with her on the film. Dunaway also was reported to have trouble remembering her lines for the film. Her neighbors in the 1980s often had run-ins with her because she had a tendency to block, or park in, their driveways with her car. Also in the 1980s, the video store which she frequented back then reported that when she returned her videotapes, she would honk her car horn to get someone from the store to run out to her car to retrieve them. If they were slow to respond to her horn, she would throw the tapes out of the car window and drive off. She was dropped from the Broadway play "Tea at Five" last year after not learning her lines, reportedly slapping crew members and throwing things at them, and forbidding anyone from wearing white because it was a distraction to her. On the other hand, Joan Crawford was an admirer of her; in her autobiography, Crawford apparently felt she was a kindred spirit. Maybe that's why Dunaway was able to capture Crawford's temperament so successfully in her portrayal of her.
