>> SHE IS A HOLLYWOOD ICON WHO
HAS STARRED IN SOME OF THE
BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER FILMS FOR
FIVE DECADES.
>> FAYE NAY DUNAWAY GRABBED OUR
ATTENTION IN IN "BONNIE AND
CLYDE" AND CHINA TOWN AND
NETWORK.
NOW SHE'S STARRING IN A NEW
MOVIE CALLED "THE CASE FOR
CHRIST."
AND TURNED TO PERSONAL BELIEVES
FOR INSPIRATION.
>> IT'S BASED ON THE CASE OF AN
JOURNALIST LOOKING TO DEBUNK
CHRISTIANITY I SAT DOWN WITH
HER.
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS
MOVIE THAT YOU'RE IN.
I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE NUT
CREDITS BECAUSE IT'S A FAITH
FILM.
IT'S NOT A HUGE BUDGET FILM IN
TERMS OF HOLLYWOOD.
WHAT DID APPEAL TO YOU ABOUT IT?
>> WELL, THAT IT'S A FAITH
STORY.
I BECAME AWARE OF THIS GENRE
MAYBE A YEAR OR TWO AGO AND I
TOOK MY AGENT TO LOOK OUT FOR
PROJECTS THAT I COULD DO BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN A DEVOUT CATHOLIC
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MY
CAREER.
>> AN LOUIS NATIONS ARE LIKE
DREAMS.
THEY HAPPEN IN INDIVIDUAL MINDS.
THEY DON'T SPREAD LIKE THE
COMMON COLD.
>> THE LEADING CHARACTER, PLAYED
BY MITCH VOGEL, HE COMES TO YOU
AS A PROFESSOR AND SEEKING
GUIDANCE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO
ACCOMPLISH WHAT?
>> HE WANTS TO PROVE THAT JESUS
DID NOT EXIST.
HE WAS NOT THE SON OF GOD.
HE DID NOT WALK THE EARTH AND
WAS NOT RESURRECTED.
AND I IN THE BEGINNING I SAY AS
A FELLOW SKEPTIC, I CAN
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
DO AND THEN SHE WENT ON TOP
EXAMINE HERSELF MANY OF THE
INCIDENTS.
>> I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD BE A
BIT OF A SKEPTIC.
GOD'S BIG ENOUGH FOR OUR
QUESTIONS.
>> I DON'T THINK NECESSARILY A
SKEPTIC BUT YOU CAN INVESTIGATE
A LOT.
>> YEAH.
>> AND YOU WILL BE ENRICHED BY
IT.
>> HAS YOUR PERSONAL FAITH BEEN
A SOURCE OF COMFORT IN YOUR
LIFE.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
I GO TO MASS.
I TRY TO GO EVERY DAY.
YOU KNOW, I GET INSPIRED.
I FEEL BETTER ABOUT EVERYTHING.
>> IT CENTERS YOU.
>> AND I PRAY A LOT.
>> YOU DO.
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT DO YOU PRAY FOR?
>> MY SON MOST OF ALL THAT HE
WILL BE WELL AND I ASK GOD TO
TAKE CARE OF HIM AND KEEP HIM
SAFE.
>> A PARENT'S PRAYER.
>> AND GUIDANCE, YEAH.
AND GUIDANCE FOR ME.
>> AND THE ACADEMY AWARD.
>> IT'S THE LAST MOMENT OF THE
ACADEMY AWARDS AND YOU GUYS HAVE
THE GREAT HONOR OF ANNOUNCING
THE BEST PICTURE.
>> RIGHT.
>> WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER MOST OF
THAT EVENING.
> MERCY.
SO WARREN WAS SUPPOSED TO OPEN
THE ENVELOPE.
AND SAY THE AWARD GOES TO -- AND
PASS THE CARD TO ME TO BUILD
SUSPENSE.
I WAS FINALLY GOING TO SAY THE
NAME OF THE FILM THAT WON.
>> RIGHT.
>> BUT IN THE MOMENT WHAT
HAPPENED WAS WE CAME ON, HE
OPENED THE ENVELOPE, PULLED THE
CARD OUT AND HE DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING.
HE PAUSED.
HE LOOKED AROUND AND HE LOOKED
OVER ME OFF STAGE HOPING SOMEONE
WOULD BE THERE.
>> LIKE COULD THIS BE RIGHT.
>> HOPING SOMEONE WOULD BE THERE
SAYING DON'T DO THIS.
HE LOOKED BACK INTO THE ENVELOPE
HOPING THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER
CARD THERE.
FINALLY I THOUGHT HE WAS YOU
KNOW.
>> DID YOU THINK HE WAS TEASE
AGO.
>> I SAID YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.
THIS IS SOMETHING HE DOES.
HE PAUSES.
HE DOESN'T ANSWER YOU RIGHT
AWAY.
>> HE PLAYS WITH YOU.
>> TEASES YOU AS PART OF HIS
CHARM.
I TEASED BACK AND I SAID YOU'RE
IMPOSSIBLE.
HE GAVE ME THE THE CARD.
I READ THE NAME OF THE FILM.
>> "LA LA LAND."
>> WHICH WAS WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED
TO DO.
>> YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE WINNER
IS.
THAT'S WHAT THE CARD SAYS.
>> THAT'S WHAT THE CARD SAID BUT
A LOT OF REPERCUSSIONS ON THIS.
>> OF COURSE.
>> YOU'RE PLAGUED WITH WHAT
COULD I HAVE DONE TO PREVENT
THIS.
THE FACT IS YOU COULDN'T HAVE
DONE ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CARD
WAS THE WRONG CARD GIVEN TO HIM.
EVEN IF IT SAID EMMA STONE ON
THE TOP I HAD TO SAY THE NAME OF
THE PICTURE.
SO I SAID THE NAME OF THE
PICTURE.
SOMEONE SAID NO, NO, NO, YOU
DIDN'T WIN.
>> YOU'RE CAUGHT IN THIS
WHIRLWIND.
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING THEN?
>> IT WAS REALLY ONE OF THE
WORST MOMENTS I'VE EVER HAD.
>> MY, MY.
THE THINGS THAT TURN UP IN THE
STREET THESE DAYS.
>> AND WHAT HAVEN'T YOU DONE YET
IN YOUR LIFE EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE
BUSINESS SOMETHING THAT NAGS YOU
STILL I DO WANT TO DO THAT ONE?
>> I'M A WORKAHOLIC IN A CERTAIN
WAY.
IT'S WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO, SORT
OF STUDIED TO DO, HAPPIEST
DOING.
I'M VERY PARTICULAR.
I'M VERY DETAIL ORIENTED AND
WANT TO DO SOMETHING WELL.
I THINK THAT'S THE TIME I'M
HAPPIEST.
A NEW PROJECT WOULD BE HAPPIEST
I SUPPOSE.
>> SUCH A PLEASURE.
WHAT ARE AN HONOR.
>> WHAT A GOOD INTERVIEW.
SO MUCH INSIGHT FROM HER, RIGHT?
>> I SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR.
AND I JUST ENJOYED IT SO MUCH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THE CASE FOR CHRIST IS IN
THEATERS NOW.
THE ACCOUNTING FIRM IN CHARGE OF
HANDLING THE OSCAR RESULTS TOOK
FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
MISTAKE ALTHOUGH THE GENTLEMAN I
BELIEVE WHO GAVE THEM THE WRONG
CARD WAS LET GO.
THAT'S WHAT I HEAR.
>> DO YOU THINK THAT STORY
