Hollywood icon FAYE DUNAWAY was reportedly such a diva on a recent jetflight that flight attendants took to pranking the Mommy Dearest camp queen with the obscure objects of her celluloid scorn – wire hangers!
According to a longtime stewardess the Oscar-winning star was nicknamed "The Bitch" by attendants on one airline, where her in-flight tantrums were allegedly so notorious she was denied upgrades.
The stewardess told FoxNews that before Faye boarded an early 1990s flight to London’s Heathrow, airline management reputedly alerted flight attendants and ground staff and ordered them "under no circumstances" to upgrade Dunaway.
Naturally, Dunaway turned up at JFK with a coach ticket to London, demanding an upgrade, the stewardess says.
"She was a total bitch, screaming at everyone and saying, ‘Don’t you know who I am?’ But we refused and sat her at the front of coach, where she could see there were seats free in business and first class, which made her even more furious. When we brought out the meal service, she snapped, ‘I am not eating,’ as if we would care."
But then the flight crew — taking a cue from Dunaway’s classic camp turn as Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest where she denounced "No MORE wire hangers!" — got their twisted metallic revenge.
"When she fell asleep, one steward said, ‘I’m going to get that (expletive deleted)’ and grabbed a bunch of wire hangers and put them on the seat next to her. All the other passengers were snickering.
"When she woke up as the plane landed, she was wide-eyed with fury, and looked around … but had no idea who did it.
"Then she got up and did yoga in the aisle to calm herself down."
