# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Dorothy Faye Dunaway started on Broadway in the early 1960s and broke through in 1967 as Bonnie Parker in Bonnie and Clyde, earning her first Oscar nomination. A streak followed: The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968, Chinatown in 1974 (second nomination), The Towering Inferno, Three Days of the Condor, and then Network in 1976, which brought her the Academy Award for Best Actress. In 1981 she took on Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest, a portrayal that sparked controversy and marked a turn toward character work in independent films — Barfly, The Handmaid's Tale, Arizona Dream. She also returned to the stage, winning the Sarah Siddons Award in 1996 for playing Maria Callas in Master Class. Protective of her privacy, she rarely grants interviews or appears in public, a reclusiveness that has become part of the mystique.
