Beyond her public persona, the actress has experienced a vibrant and complex personal life. Her romantic history is as storied as her film career.

Despite their deep connection, their affair lasted only three years due to Mastroianni's reluctance to leave his wife. Reflecting on their time together, the actress confessed, "I was deeply in love with him. He was a man like no one I'd ever met before, and he made me feel deeply protected."

Since winning the Best Actress Oscar in 1976, Faye Dunaway's career has seen its share of highs and lows. Notably, she received a Golden Raspberry Award, or Razzie, for her intense portrayal of Joan Crawford in 1981’s “Mommie Dearest.” Dunaway defended her performance, stating, "It was meant to be a window into a tortured soul, but it was made into camp."

Her career faced further challenges when she was controversially dropped from the cast of “Sunset Boulevard.” This happened just days before its Los Angeles opening, leading her to sue composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Additionally, her professional behavior has been under scrutiny. Renowned director Roman Polanski, who directed Dunaway in “Chinatown,” famously claimed she "demonstrated certifiable proof of insanity." These comments and others contributed to a changing perception of Dunaway in Hollywood. These coincided with a noticeable decline in leading roles for her as her career progressed.

As for her approach to aging, Dunaway embraces it with grace and poise, stating, "It is what it is. It’s not something to moan or complain about." Her experience and maturity have deepened her emotional and creative capacities. This has enhanced her appreciation for life and work. She firmly believes that age does not define one's life; rather, it's what one does with it that truly matters.
