(ORIGINAL) The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! "Better Nate Than Ever" (Available now) From director Tim Federle ("High School Musical: The Musical: The Series") comes this comedic adventure about Nate (newcomer Rueby Wood), a 13-year-old Midwesterner who embarks on a journey to Broadway to follow his dreams despite the fact he can't even land a part in the school play. Aria Brooks ("All That"), Joshua Bassett ("High School Musical: The Musical: The Series") and Lisa Kudrow co- star. (ORIGINAL) 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • April 10 - 16, 2022 BEST FAYE DUNAWAY MOVIES "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) Dunaway had made a couple of earlier movies, but this gangster classic announced her arrival loudly and clearly, thanks to producer-star Warren Beatty's casting of her as Bonnie Parker to his Clyde Barrow. Turner Classic Movies shows the film Monday, April 11. "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968) Alternately headstrong and vulnerable, Dunaway made a perfect almost-foil for Steve McQueen in the original version of this crime caper about a millionaire thief and the insurance investigator on his trail. "Chinatown" (1974) "She's my sister! She's my daughter!" Dunaway takes her hits, literally, as the woman who draws a private eye (Jack Nicholson) into a world of hurt – also literally – in director Roman Polanski's great mystery. "The Towering Inferno" (1974) The stunt players are the true stars here, but Dunaway adds allure to producer Irwin Allen's disaster epic about a fire on opening night of the world's tallest building. "Three Days of the Condor" (1975) Dunaway dials down her on-screen strength as the hostage of a CIA employee (Robert Redford) forced on the lam after his co-workers are all murdered. "Network" (1976) Arguably Dunaway's signature role, the part of an ambitious (to put it very mildly) television executive earned the actress an Oscar for best actress in writer Paddy Chayefsky's eerily omniscient satire. "Eyes of Laura Mars" (1978) The fragility Dunaway sometimes portrays works well for her as a photographer with the ability to see through a killer's eyes. "The Champ" (1979) The father-son relationship evoked by Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder is this update's main selling point, but Dunaway has her moments as the woman in their lives. "The First Deadly Sin" (1980) Dunaway is compelling as the ill wife of a New York cop (Frank Sinatra) nearing retirement but seeking a serial killer. "Mommie Dearest" (1981) For sheer camp, it's hard to do better than Dunaway's portrait of actress Joan Crawford, crystallized by one line: "No wire hangers ... ever!" "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1999) It's stunt casting to a degree, but it's still fun to see Dunaway assume a different role – the title character's (Pierce Brosnan) psychiatrist – in this remake.
