Ep 17. Done Fadeaway
Description
We’re talking all things Faye Dunaway. The ‘Faye’ documentary just came out on HBO MAX and boy is it a crazy one.

Ryan provides context around how she was perceived before and after ‘Mommie Dearest’, and what made her as iconic as she was.
ALSO. What is talent? Does it grow like a pearl or is it porous?
