DWTS Season 12 Cast Rumors – Faye Dunaway To Join Dancing With The Stars
I sooo hope this new celebrity cast rumor is true! I LOVE FAYE DUNAWAY!!!! From Rumorfix.com.
Faye Dunaway is following in the footsteps of Florence Henderson and Cloris Leachman by joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars as the dancing senior, RumorFix has learned exclusively.
Dunaway, who is 70 years old, is best known in her roles in Network, Chinatown and Mommie Dearest.
The Academy Award-winning actress just wrapped up playing Maria Callas in Master Class, a movie she wrote, directed and starred in.
So, what do you think and who do you see her paired with if this news is true? I see a Tony or Jonathan pairing again. Maybe even Damian!!
I LOVE THIS!!! π
Heidi’s Note: I have taught you well, young Jedi….
“Heidiβs Note: I have taught you well, young Jediβ¦.”
Yes, you have!! Thanks so much!! ((((Heidi))))) <3 <3 π xxxx
Look at her teeth – can you imagine her and Tony paired together?? It would be blinding. π
ROTFLLLL OMG, I hadn’t thought of that. LOL!!!!
This is a great choice, I would love watching Faye and I like seeing *real* celebs on the show.
Won’t she get paired up with Corky? Have to admit, I love seeing Corky and Mark competing against each other even moreso than the Hough siblings. π
I think she’s way too tall for Corky, Ally – it seems like she’s a very tall woman. Like 5’9″ or something like that.
Interesting choice. If Faye is too short for Corky, I could see her paired with Jonathan or Tony. Not so much with Damian.
Hmmm. Seems like we’ve got 2 taller, older ladies as possibilities this season – maybe they’ll have to pull Jonathan back into the fold π Faye’s tall – 5’7″, according to google – so Corky’s pretty much out. I think Jonathan would better utilize her talents, anyway.
this is too good, i hope its true, Faye Dunaway would be the biggest movie star ever to appear on DWTS. bravo!!!
If Corky comes back as pro to dance with Faye, I hope his choreography is better. I’ve seen him dancing before, and I know he’s capable of so much more. I don’t know how long I can endure the “comic routines”.
I love Faye, she’s a fantastic actress and last I’ve seen of her, she seems in great shape for her age.
Faye Dunaway is an excellent choice for the show. True glamour & hollywood. Jennifer Grey defninitely brought a bit of hollywood with her last season on the show. This is the calibur of stars I like seeing on DWTS.
I haven’t seen much information about the male stars that may be on the show except a few of course. I would really like to see Sugar Ray Leonard. Well just a few more days and we’ll know for sure.
If Tony gets her…he better break a leg than waist his talent. She aint going to win… so, whats the point.
She beautiful! I can see her with Tony. He’s done a great job with some of the older celebs like susan lucci & jane seymour
I see Faye with Dimitry now (if that new info is true about him being on the show. But, like Courtney, I have my doubts on that).
Yes, please, for Faye Dunaway. I would love to see Sugar Ray Leonard. I would love to see an all-athlete cast someday.
heard a rumor that Joy Behar is going to be on…anything on this?
Joy categorically and quite LOUDLY put paid to that rumour on The View on… um… Tuesday. No way.
@Katy – I think I saw Vogue retweet something that Joy said this morning…something to the tune of “Me do DWTS?! I get winded just trying on a blouse!” Hehe…so I guess that’s a “no” π I’d imagine she’d have a hard time with the schedule, anyway, with The View thrown in the mix.
I’m beginning to think that we’re either going to get Faye OR Lee Merriwether, and not both – just doesn’t seem like they’d have 2 older, legendary ladies on the show in the same season. Wonder who they’d pick – I think Faye is the bigger name, but I think they’re more likely to actually get Lee, since she’s expressed interest in the show for several seasons now. Should be interesting.
YAY FOR FAYE!
I do hope Faye is in the cast! And, pair her with Jonathan, because he will be able to teach her well, while maintaining the Class and Elegance she deserves in her choreography! And, I hope she goes FAR!!!!
Ditto for Lee Merriweather!
Honestly, I do not care for Corky on the show. I respect him and everything he’s accomplished, and I understand that he is incredibly talented a teacher, and fantastic choreographer, with a great reputation…. But, with both Cloris and Florence, I think he underestimated them, and their abilities, and resorted to the comedic routines to garner votes. It may have worked with Cloris, but I think it failed Florence. I don’t mind humor, but I don’t think the comedy and tricks and whatnot should replace the elegance that ballroom dancing can be. Not the “if all else fails, resort to gimmicks” that Corky has done.
Faye and Jonathan, Lee and Tony….. Or vice versa… I think both men have shown in the past that they can be elegant and distinguished, and comedic without resorting to too much gimmick.
Faye and Jonathan together would be lovely!!
In working on my History post (coming shortly to a blog near you) I recently re-watched Cloris’ season – and that woman was wild. Wild as in the audience and the other pros were crying with laughter. I think Corky’s antics were in direct response to that, but then he made the mistake of thinking Florence would go the same way. But, to be fair, part of that was Florence pulling some antics trying to be like Cloris. Corky isn’t the one who pulled her shirt up. π That said – I don’t need to see him on DWTS any more.
If they have Lee Merriweather and Faye that would be quite a season. I think she might be onne of the biggest stars they have netted if she does the show (baased on fact that almost everybody knows who she is). Just imagine hte people she would have in the audience to root her on i can just picture jack nicholson in the front row lol.
What do we think the line-up could be, then?
I reckon Kendra and Lorenzo are almost definites, with Colleen Zenk and Wendy Williams not too far behind. Considering the fact this is a recent rumour, quite likely for Faye to do it, and Lee and Chris maybe. Christine whether she says yes, and Brooke…….well, I doubt it, but who knows?
Every time I hear Yesterday I still think of that one move (don’t even know how to describe it) in Corky and Florence’s rumba…
Anyway, Faye would be fantastic. I hope Kendra’s really on too. She’ll be entertaining.
This one came out of left field lol A verryyyyyyyyy pleasant surprise. The more i think of it she would good 4 maks.
I just heard that Charlie Sheen’s available to do DWTS.
Can you even believe that, Jay?? What a horrible waste. For anyone who doesn’t know what we’re talking about – Charlie made some very unwise comments and the producers put the show on an early hiatus.
Aaaannnddd there are lots of reports that Christine O’Donnell said thanks but no thanks. Thank you, Jesus.
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!!^^
This would be incredible, but hopefully not with Corky! Will update if I hear.
Cool, thanks BUTTERCUP! π xx
Ew Joy Behar, worst rumored contestant ever lol, hope that is not true.
according to perezhilton.
Three of female celebs are: Kendra, Wendy, Kristy Allen
Doesn’t Tony usually get the New Yorker or east coaster since he resides in CT?
I would think he would be paired with Vera Wang.
Go Faye! I’d love to see your dancing shoes!
[…] rumors from previous Seasons has made us suspicious that Vera might be doing the show this year. Faye Dunaway – Rumorfix.com reported that this A-lister has signed to do the show. What a coo this would […]
