Bascom, Florida, Native Faye Dunaway earned a permanent spot on Hollywood's A-list with a string of box office hits in the 1960s and 1970s that showcased her striking beauty and serious acting chops. While she took home the Oscar for Best Actress in 1977 for Network, she'll always be best known for her role 10 years prior as Texas outlaw Bonnie Parker in Bonnie and Clyde. Posing here as bandit Bonnie, the stunner sports brown-shaded lids, thick black lashes, and a full pout as partners-in-crime for her natural, sultry appeal.
