Faye Prefers Blondes: “The Thomas Crown Affair,” “The Towering Inferno,” and “Three Days of the Condor”
from Oscar Wild
To end their May Dunaway retrospective, Nick and Sophia marvel at Faye’s turn in some Oscar-nominated and winning thrillers and how she shares the spotlight with some dazzling blonde co-stars. In The Thomas Crown Affair, Faye plays the investigator who tries to outsmart Steve McQueen's titular heist mastermind. Then, as the architect's wife alongside a whopping A-list cast in an epic '70s disaster movie, The Towering Inferno, she manages chaos 135 floors up while navigating guests to safety (11:01). Lastly, in Three Days of the Condor, Robert Redford plays a CIA spy on the run who kidnaps a distressed yet cunning Brooklynite Faye in order to survive (28:10). Listen for plenty of favorite quotes and moments, what they think of Faye’s committed acting, and which blonde actor makes for the best scene partner.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @oscarwildpodFollow Nick @sauerkraut27Follow Sophia @sophia_cimMusic: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan Adamich
