Dunaway, born in 1941 in Bascom/ Florida, definitely is (or should I say: was, considering the frequent, sometimes frightful, changes in her appearance) one of the most beautiful, and certainly most talented, faces ever to grace to the silver screen. At the time Chinatown was made, Dunaway was at the peak of her fame, one of Hollywood's most sought after actresses, all of which culminated in her Acadmey Award win for her role as Diane Christensen in Sydney Lumet's ahead-of-its-time television satire, Network (USA 1976).
