Faye Dunaway Hilary Duff “Bonnie And Clyde” Role: “She Isn’t A Real Actress!”
Hollywood icons Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty are none too pleased after learning that there is a revamped version of their 1967 classic Bonnie And Clyde in the works.
The two Oscar winners both said, ”Why?” upon hearing the news that little-known director Tonya S. Holly will direct The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, based on her own screenplay, The Chicago Sun-Times reported on Wednesday.
According to The Sun-Times scoop, leading lady Faye Dunaway is especially disturbed that her role as Bonnie Parker in the ten time Academy Award-nominated original will be portrayed by former Disney tweener Hilary Duff.
”Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”
Ouch.
The Story Of Bonnie & Clyde will be released in 2010.

Talk about it, Faye. Hilary Duff has no damn talent. She can't sing or act. Why keep desecrating good movies with remakes starring no talent teen idols?

that's sad. they need to give hilary a chance. I am so fustrated that she said that about hilary. she's just mad cuz she's old and not famous anymore. And foor all the haters bashing her, how bout u get ur a** in the acting business and try to do it better.

Um Joanna, get a life, seriously. I bet there are a lot of great actors reading your sentiment right now who didn't have a stage Mommy and money to blow on orthodontia and agents to get the kind of breaks Hilary has. Just because you make it doesn't mean you're talented. And she HAS had her chance, over and over again. Each time she proves herself to be stuck in the role of playing herself because she can't do any better. Faye Dunaway is a Hollywood queen, especially compared to Hilary Duff.

umm… holly, it's not that i'm trying to say that she's the best actress in the world, but the role was offered exclusively to her. that's gotta mean something right? and besides, faye dunnaway can't intervene. it's not her movie. and it's a character, not her, so she has no right in sayin that hilary can't play the character. it's a new generation, so make way for it.

Faye Dunaway is totally jealous. She's old and she's not famous anymore. She is no one to talk about Hilary like that. This girl has a lot of talent and i think she's perfect for the role. So why they can't give her a chance?. She's going to be great in this film. I support you Hilary! So it's better for faye to shut her fucking mouth up.

Spoken like another Duff fan:
"OMG, She's lyke, so old, she has no talent. She's just jealous cause Hilary is way younger and prettier! Lyke duh. Loser old bag lady!"
Sad, just plain sad. Faye Dunaway is much more respectable than a four time Razzie nominated tween queen.

Um…isn't Hillary Duff a bit young for the role? The last I heard, she wasn't quite twenty yet. But then I've been out of the loop.
Ms. Dunaway didn't say too much about Rene Russo taking her role in "The Thomas Crown Affair", which I think was a good actress in the role. And it was cool to see Faye in a cameo role in that movie.
Should be interesting to see the kind of movies in Hillary's filmography when she gets to be the same age as Faye. :)

Way to go Faye, tell the stupid little brown faced little blond wannabe how stupid she and her stupid little fans are.
For all you Hllary fans, you wouldn't even know your own Daddy was because your Mothers were such cheap skanks. Learn to spell, you stupid little idiots.
Oh, I'm just GLAD, the whole world is, that YOURS is the generation that won't see 50. LOL
Funny!!!
Now run along, I'm sure there's a boyfriend just willing to beat the shit out of you for not fellating him well enough at last night's Blow job party. And oh, lose weight, that's right, binge away little insecure uglies. LOL

She's an Oscar winner, you idiot. Now, die young, after all your mother wouldn't care. She's not a dried up old hag, is she?

Funny though, Faye looks way better now than Hilary with all her makeup. Like, raccon eyes went out in the 80's, girly. LOL
I wonder if Hilary fans know Clyde was homosexual. Like, youknow, no great romance there and stuff. Youknow. So, like that guy from High School Musical 17 is just, like, out.

This is the MOST ridiculous thing I have heard in a long while. I still don't understand why Hollywood is intent on remaking iconic, awarding winning films.
And, I'm sorry, but Hillary Duff? Really? My first reaction to that news was exactly the same as Faye Dunaway's. I also think it is hilarious that all these tween Duff fanatics (most of which probably have never seen the original Bonnie and Clyde) continue to talk about how old and dried up Dunaway is, simply for voicing the perfectly logical reaction to that proposition.
Oh, and by the way, Dunaway was the MOST gorgeous and talented actress of that generation and Hillary Duff starred in… what the f*ck was she in again… that Cinderella movie. Yeah, that's right, Duff already has a track record of destroying classic stories on screen. If she can do it to Cinderella… no one is safe.

Has Hollywood completely lost it? They can't think of anything so they have to slaughter another classic movie? Just shows how shallow this generation is when all they can say about a Hollywood legend is that she's "old". When I heard that Duff was gonna play Bonnie, I laughed my a** off. What a joke.

Here's my 2 cents. I think Faye Dunaway is a great actress, but it was a little mean to say that about Hilary Duff (whether it is true or not), and she shouldn't have. However I also think the comments about Faye Dunaway's age are pretty funny considering we will all get there sooner or later. And if Hilary had been gracious she would have taken the "hit" and said something like "I will do my best to prove her wrong", instead of a rude comment about Faye's age, considering she will get there eventually too. And by the way, I think she looks pretty good for her age (68).

Faye Dunaway has an Oscar and was nominated for an Oscar for the role of Bonnie Parker. She was and still is a beautiful woman and an amazingly talented actress.
Hilary Duff…
I can guarantee you that in this lifetime we will NEVER hear the words "and the Oscar goes to Hilary Duff".
Nuff said…

Hilary Duff can suck it. Even if Hilary puts everything she can into this role she wont compare to how Faye Dunaway did. Hilary Duff is not an actress shes at best an entertainer.So go crawl in a hole and leave the big screen to the real actors and actresses.

kay, first off, I AM a nostalgic hilary duff fan (and NO, i'm not gonna call you guys "jealous", i know what opinions are). but this is ridonkulous. i mean, faye dunaway is an amazing actress, but why not give hil a chance? she didn't do too well in her child movies, so why not give her some potential? it may or may not suck (depending on your views of acting), but hey, atleast it may breakout hilary duff's kiddy role (there's a reason why she turned down the lead role in 90210!). those were my two cents.

this whole "feud" is probably just a Hollywood setup to get more people buzzing about the movie AND buying DVDs of the old movie. Both Duff and Dunaway will probably make bank out of it.

OK, I am old. Not OLD as Faye but old. I remember in the 1980's Johnny Carson asking Bette Davis on The Tonight Show if there was anyone she would refuse to work with again.
Bette, without hesitating, said something to the effect "Faye Dunaway. Without a doubt she is the most UNprofessional actress I've EVER worked with. Always late to the set and unprepared."
I wish I could remember EXACTLY what she said but at least I remember Ms. Davis's opinion of Faye Dunaway.
Hopefully this remake will stretch Hilary Duff's acting "muscle" and she will make all you haters eat your words, INCLUDING Miss Dunaway.

Alright, you know what you guys are all acting like? Immature idiots. Let me go ahead and put my two cents in.
Faye was in fact an amazing actress during her time, and who knows? Maybe she really was the only one who fit her role the best. Regardless of what others thought of her. She worked for it and got the rewards.
HOWEVER…
This still doesn't give her a single right to go ahead and hurt someone else's feelings. Honestly, I expected more of her then to just go ahead and blab that out. Well, at least now I'm a bit clear on the personality. But I don't have the time on my hands to hate on her. Still, she has no right to go ahead and pin point someone else regardless of their talent.
Old or not, doesn't really matter.
Sure, Hilary Duff isn't the best actress out there. But she isn't your typical "whore" either. She's a generally good person, but obviously you guys have nothing better to do then to sit down and flame her off just because she didn't make the gossip section of your local magazine. She's a human as well, you can't just judge her like that. Say you sucked at dancing two years ago, you come to me after two years and I just point and laugh.
"You, you can't dance for shit!"
When I haven't even seen you dancing. Bad example, but 'nough said.
Really dissapointed in Faye though, I used to like her…

What really cracks me up are, the girls/girl that keep coming in talking about how hillary would be better,I bet they have'nt seen the original to make a comparison because their parents never tried to show them there was something else outside of, britney,hillary (which btw I have no problem with the girl at all, she's cute,and I actually like a couple of her singles,I just think she's wrong for the role). If you have'nt watched the original you have no business judging the talent of the two actresses,as for being being and old bag,so the hell what??!! some of you are 18 and I can seriously tell you my 14 year old niece would call you old ass haters too.

This is not okay. Bonnie and Clyde was one of the greatest movies in the history of American Cinema. The fact alone that someone is doing a remake should make everyone shudder. But now there's this: Hilary Duff, ex Disney zombie, is playing the coveted role that Faye Dunaway once held.
I'm not saying that Hilary would be terrible, but she is all wrong for the part. I mean, look at her track record: Lizzie McGuire, A Cinderella Story, Casper The Friendly Ghost, etc. She has never EVER been in a serious movie. Ever. Her acting skills are not that great, and those who think she would be amazing for the role have probably never seen the original movie. You should probably do your research before saying those kinds of things….

Go see “War Inc.” before saying how horrible Hilary is. The part she is playing someone like herself, so I acknowledge there is a lot of good casting vs true good acting there, but this movie with John Cusack and Marisa Tomei was quite fun. Not everyone liked it, but I did.
Hopefully she will surprise everyone!
Out of all of the Hollywood starlets she is compared to, she seems to be a very decent person and stays out of trouble. Please also take that into account when you say how horrible she is…
