In 2011 , a photo of Dunaway taken by Jerry Schatzberg in 1970 was chosen as the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival poster backdrop . The festival organizers described it as a " Model of sophistication and timeless elegance , it is an embodiment of the cinematic dream that the Festival de Cannes seeks to maintain " . During the festival , Dunaway and Schatzberg appeared at a special screening of '' Puzzle of a Downfall Child '' , earning a standing ovation upon their entrance . In 2013 , Dunaway was the first recipient of the Leopard Club Award and made a rare personal appearance at the Locarno International Film Festival to accept the award . In 2014 , Dunaway was recognized as the guest of honor by the Lumière Film Festival . Organizers praised the " immense contribution she has made to the emergence of the independent American films of the sixties and seventies , and the contribution is of the highest caliber " . Her attendance at the festival was described as an " exceptional event " . Dunaway received a standing ovation by a crowd of 5,000 , and declared in an emotional speech following the tribute she received , " My fans and my friends have supported me in this search for all these years , and I thank you from all of my heart , and without you , I would not be the same Faye Dunaway . " Also in 2014 , Dunaway had to pull out of a French drama called '' Macadam Stories '' , in which she was going to play the lead , due to health issues , and was replaced by Isabelle Huppert
