Blonde hair, big eyes, full lips - Faye Dunaway ticked every box as far as casting agents and directors were concerned in the 1970s. A pin-up fixture on the walls of many teenage boys of the era, Dunaway is one of the decade's most successful movie starts. Although she's more closely associated with the 70s, Dunaway didn't have to wait for the decade to begin before she could forge a career. She already had movie credits to her name by the end of 1969.
It's the 70s she's best known for, though, and that's because of hugely successful films like 'Network' and 'Towering Inferno,' the latter of which was the definitive disaster movie of its era. 'Network' wasn't quite the box office sensation 'Towering Inferno' was, but it did bring her the most acclaim; for her performance in the film, she won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar at the 1977 awards.
