Faye Dunaway fans listened as she spoke about her legendary career and winning her Academy Award. Many took to X to share sweet memories of Faye and their favorites from her expansive body of work.

“what an honor to see faye dunaway talk about her oscar winning role in network (1976) before the #tcmff closing night screening in IMAX!” A fan shared.

Others found themselves feeling quite a bit older when they saw Faye.

“I was thrilled when Oscar winner Faye Dunaway agreed to appear in

our movie The Case for Christ. But when I told a young woman the news, she

said, ‘Who’s she?’ I couldn’t believe it!” Another person wrote.

Seeing both Jane Fonda and Faye Dunaway made this person remember their younger years.

“My brain used to mix up Jane Fonda and Faye Dunaway way back when. It crossed my mind, so I thought I’d take a look, see if I was right to mix them up. Well, they do look a bit alike, Jane’s probably sexier though. I’ve talked about my brain like it’s someone else, whatever, that’s how I’m feeling right now anyway, it’s not important,” they admitted.

We could only hope to look and feel as good as Faye Dunaway does at nearly 90. She’s a true treasure.
