Faye Dunaway?


OK I could be way off base here but does anyone know if Faye Dunaway makes an uncredited cameo in FOXES as "Bert" - the woman in the car who is "swinging" with her husband and they pick up Annie near the end of the film? She's only onscreen for a few minutes but I could swear it's Faye Dunaway! I couldn't find the character listed in the credits. Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

no it is not faye dunaway. that lady just has the same creepy coffee-stained, smoke & alcohol, man voice quality that faye & lauren bacall & all those old ladies have. i looked in the credits of my vhs & it doesnt even list her. it just lists the man as 'swingin single'.

It was driving me crazy. I was trying to figure out who that was. I'm sure you are right and that it is Faye Dunaway.

This role is entirely bizarre, for several reasons.

(1) The fact that it's not credited does point to a cameo. The lady is also given a name: "Bert" or "Burt" -- which makes the lack of a credit even more strange.

(2) Odder still: the guy introduces himself to Annie as "Darrell", but is not credited by the name of that character, but (as noted above) as "Ken Novick - Swinging Single". However, he's NOT single: he's part of a swinging COUPLE!

(3) Finally, this Ken Novick is not an even an actor! See: https://pro-labs.imdb.com/name/nm0637088/

In any case, I'm 100% positive that "Bert" or "Burt" is not played by Faye Dunaway; to me she looks more like a young Lauren Bacall. But a director wouldn't ask any famous actress to pair up with a non-actor for a cameo, unless it was a relative of hers....

I hate it when information is lacking on IMDB. It's my question solver often, but every now and then like this time, it is not.

That is not Faye Dunaway. She would not have done a small part like this back then. She was just coming off the remake of "The Champ", and was starring opposite Frank Sinatra in "The first deadly sin".

reply

"Bert" was played by Kay Tornberg, not Faye, though they do resemble each other.

That was what I thought also, but Faye Dunaway was still pretty big, couldn't be her.
