Faye Dunaway candidly opens up about her 'painful' childhood in emotional HBO documentary trailer: 'I was very depressed'


In the two-minute clip, the 83-year-old actress is seen talking on camera about how she was 'moody' in the past and reveals that 'acting was a way to escape' from her family experience.

As black and white photographs of the Bonnie and Clyde star as a child flashed up on the screen, Dunaway is heard saying: 'Faye is the persona, and Dorothy Faye is that little girl from the South,' referring to her birth name. The documentary even touches on Dunaway's iconic Oscars portrait, which was captured by photography Terry O'Neill at 6am the day after she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Diana Christensen in the 1976 film Network. The upcoming documentary, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May and runs for one hour and 31 minutes, will walk through the highlights of Dunaway's career including her landmark roles in movies such as Chinatown.
