Hilary Duff Faye Dunaway Feud

Hilary Duff may be reprising Faye Dunaway’s breakout role as “Bonnie Parker” in an upcoming revival of the Oscar-winning 1967 film, Bonnie & Clyde, but don’t expect Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire” to take any lip from the legendary screen star.

Hil has some choice words for Ms. Dunaway after learning that the Mommie Dearest star recently slammed her as a “faux actress,” according to a report from The Chicago Sun-Times.

“Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?” Faye wondered last week after the Hilary casting choice was made public.

Now Hilary’s fighting back, telling E’s Daily 10 on Monday: “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.”

Burn! Whatever happened to respecting your elders?

Long after Ms. Duff fades, Faye Dunaway will be remembered for her acting and staring in Bonnie and Clyde. I doubt the new Bonnie & Clyde will receive any Academy Nods, with Ms. Duff staring, let’s face it she can’t act.

Admittedly, Hillary’s version of “Bonnie and Clyde” will be seen by a whole generation of new movie-goers, who wouldn’t know Faye Dunaway from Bette Davis.

But Ms. Faye has earned every one of her wrinkles in pretty good movies, three recognized with Oscar nominations. Until Ms. Duff finds herself in a similar position (mature and facing up-and-coming newbies), it might be a good idea for her to limit comments to comparing acting skills, rather than looks.

Faye Dunaway looks way better than Hilary Duff ever will. Who died and created Hilary Duff beautiful? She looks cheap and tawdry at best, greasy and cheap and dirty at worst. Really, bad hair with obvious dark roots, BAD makeup (why SO much, Hilary?) and an obvious nose job.

Bad actress, bad character, cheap and tawdry, thy name is Hilary Duff. Nothing more pathetic than a jealous, low-minded skank who wants to be something more, but never will be.

Bonnie and Clyde is one of my all time favourite films and to remake and cast Hillary Puff in the lead role is blasphemous! Ms. Dunaway you will always be my Bonnie and you look damn good “for someone your age” !

Just because dunaway is a legend doesn’t give her the right to be nasty. I never thought she was that good…especially in Bonnie and Clyde,…and I saw that movie first run in the theaters…pfffft.

I think it is wrong for one actor to say anything negative about another, no matter if you are a “legend” as Ms Dunaway thinks she is or not. It was a very low comment that Dunaway made in the first place and I think she can’t deal with the fact that her time has come and gone. Step aside, it’s time for the new generation. However, Ms. Duff could have stopped with the first part of her comment and not mentioned the looks thing. She could have taken the higher road.

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.
