Faye Dunaway: ‘Hilary Duff Isn’t a Real Actress’

By Allie | January 29, 2009

There’s a remake of Bonnie & Clyde currently in the works starring Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers.


Can you think of any remake of great film classic that has been better than the original?

No, I didn’t think so.

That’s also reportedly the reaction of both Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway upon hearing about a new ”Bonnie & Clyde” in the works.

Hollywood sources state the two Oscar winners both said, ”Why?” upon hearing the news little-known director Tonya S. Holly will direct ”The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,” based on her own screenplay. Holly says her project was inspired not by the 1967 film, but by news clippings of the famous Depression-era outlaws, found in an abandoned house on her family’s property.

Learning her role as Bonnie Parker would be portrayed by Hilary Duff, Dunaway reportedly zinged,

”Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”

Beatty’s Clyde Barrow role will be played by Kevin Zegers, whose credits include ”The Jane Austen Book Club” and ”Transamerica.”

The original ”Bonnie & Clyde” received 10 Oscar nominations, but won only two — Estelle Parsons for best supporting actress and for cinematography.

    Not a fan of either actress, but thought it was funny. So I spent 5 mins looking into some facts. I imdb.com Faye Dunaway and I saw that she hadn’t started her career until age 25, where as Hilary started much, much earlier. Faye Dunaway has clearly had her hay-day and has earned some great awards and accolades. But she did so at a older age, so you can’t really compare the two, because Hilary hasn’t had the life experience and opportunities that come with being older. I mean, you cant cast a 13 year old in a role that delves deep into the all aspects of human emotion, well, you can, but then you can expect that kid to experience too much too fast and be burnt out or washed up before 25. I honestly have not seen any of the movies these gals have made in their entirety, but some comments have said things like, “hilary duff makes crap Disney movies, not a real actress.” But hey, I have 2 daughters and feel like that is what young actresses should be doing. This is entertainment we are talking about, its not that deep. Ok, this is too long. In short, I feel that if faye is such a great actress, she shouldn’t have to slam younger up and coming stars to get press. And the movie hasn’t even been made yet!!! So how can we tell. Also, the last movie Hilary made, she co-starred with ben kingsley, john and joan cusack, Marissa tomei and dan ackroid, its called war inc. Maybe I am a fan??

    Faye Dunaway is really rude, that stuck-up bitch thinks she’s better, last time I checked, Hilary is way more successful than her, I can’t believe she would say such a thing.
