The morning after Faye Dunaway won her Oscar for Network, she was famously photographed lounging poolside in her bathrobe at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The photographer Terry O'Neill, who would eventually become first Dunaway's husband and in quick succession her former husband, set the scene with copies of that morning's LA Times strewn about, a serving tray with a green teapot, and of course Faye's new Oscar.
The photo has become somewhat iconic since it was shot in 1977. That far away look on Dunaway's face might suggest any number of things from quiet reflection to smug self satisfaction. Then again, she might just have been exhausted from a night of heavy partying. It was the 70s after all.
