Faye Dunaway, a renowned stage and film actress, was born in Two Egg, Florida. Many accounts list the nearby town of Bascom as her hometown. However, this is because Two Egg was too small to have a post office so mail was delivered out of Bascom. Dunaway spent most of her younger years in the now-crumbling Two Egg farmhouse that she called home. When speaking about her first big Hollywood hit, Dunaway had this to say:
“That movie touched the core of my being. Never have I felt so close to a character as I felt to Bonnie. She was a yearning, edgy, ambitious southern girl who wanted to get out of wherever she was. I knew everything about wanting to get out, and the getting out doesn’t come easy.”
Dunaway’s works include the infamously controversial Mommie Dearest (1981), the blockbuster film Bonnie and Clyde (1967), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), The Arrangement (1969), the neo-noir mystery Chinatown (1974), The Towering Inferno (1974), the political thriller Three Days of the Condor (1975), and the Network (1976) – amongst many other films and Broadway performances.
