Faye Prefers Blondes: “The Thomas Crown Affair,” “The Towering Inferno,” and “Three Days of the Condor”

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
