Article: Dunaway aims to show the woman behind the diva

As Faye Dunaway prepares to star in the national tour of "Master Class" here Oct. 29 at the Wilbur Theatre, there's one thing she won't do.

"I daren't see Patti LuPone, because I'm such a mimic," said Dunaway. "I'm immersing myself in Miss Callas, one of the great actors and singers of all time. She was like Duse. I'm playing her not only as a tremendous artist and a complicating, fascinating woman but as a human being with tremendous conflicts and dichotomies."

"Boston is my favorite city," Dunaway said on the phone from LA yesterday. "I have a history in Boston. I began my theater training at Boston University School for the Arts."
