Faye Dunaway

With golden locks and fancy frocks, She looks just like Faye Dunaway. She's like a fox, smug as she rocks That retro scarf and wool beret. I bet she'd even rob a bank With sultry smiles and cunning ease. I'm sure she'd only fire blanks-- A natural and eternal tease. And in this modern day and age, She doesn't even have a Clyde. The only star to walk this stage, She needs no man to grace her side. With independence as her creed, She makes a bonnie gal indeed.

Congrats my friend!... Of course I had a MONSTER crush on her after Bonnie and Clyde and ESPECIALLY when I saw her in The Thomas Crown Affair (whew!) She is also a fellow Southerner like me I'm honored to say...Wonderful sonnet written like only you can - Tim

A great tribute. I never saw the movie, probably because I remember when the pair were running wild and believe me my sympathies were not with them.Thank you for your kind comments on my "Wid Love" Love, Joyce

the NEW modern woman. Was she really that modern in her thinking back then?

She played Bonnie in the 1967 version of "Bonnie and Clyde." As a kid, I thought Faye Dunaway was the most beautiful girl in the world!
