Faye was born Faye Elizabeth Yoe in 1957 in
St.Clair Shores, Michigan. She became an actress against the wishes
of her father, who wanted her to study law. Faye has been married
since 1985 to actor/author Stephen Collins. Stephen is the author
of two books: "Eye Contact" published in 1995, and "Double Exposure" published
in 1998. Faye and Stephen have one child, a daughter. Faye
has worked with her husband several times in his TV series, "Tales of the
Gold Monkey" and "7th Heaven". Thanks to Elisabeth for the information
on Faye's daughter.
From the Webmaster:
Slow moving but entertaining. While watching, I couldn't help wonder
why Peter Riegert's down to earth Sam would ever be interested in Irving's
pretentious Izzy. Riegert is the best thing about the film.
Faye has a small role as one of Izzy's friends from her former Lower East
Side neighbourhood.
From David:
The January Man is a very interesting and entertaining film about an ex-cop
(Kevin Kline) who is brought back to the force to investigate a serial
killer who uses the months of the year to plan his murders. What
makes the film so entertaining is the offbeat script and funny characters;
Alan Rickman as Kevin Kline's artist friend is extremely good. The
cast is also very strong and includes Harvey Keitel, Susan Sarandon and
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Faye Grant is wasted in the role as
Mary Elizabeth’s friend who is the first to be murdered in the film.
She does a good job at pretending to die but considering she is only in
the film for all of 5 minutes she doesn’t really get the chance to leave
a lasting impression.
From Kris:
I don't think the film was as bad as the ratings. The main character (a
handless ex-musician) becomes a cyber rock star, with the help of Faye
Grant and ChristinaApplegate's characters.
That part is pretty cheesy. But the love story is kinda sweet.
And it's not the typicalhigh-school romance thing either.
I wouldn't have paid $7 to see it in a theatre, but it's O.K. as a rental.
By the Webmaster:
Being a new teenager and a Scott Baio fan at the time, I have a vague recollection
of watching and enjoying this
movie, even though I was well past my 'Chachi' stage. What
can I say?! "Senior Trip" was directed by Kenneth Johnson, who went
on to create "V".

From the Webmaster:
Definitely not scary, but a cut above the theatrical
third instalment. The film-makers came up with an interesting continuation
- the York's adopted daughter is implanted with the demonic child, to be
placed within Karen York at a later date - and the film had some good tense
scenes and a great ending.

From Diana:
The movie really is quite a stinker. It's worth renting if you want
a good giggle. The plot is all over the place, there's no continuity,
but Faye Grant really holds the thing together and definitely illustrates
her talent as an actress. It may not be a good film but if you're
a fan of Faye Grant it may be worth your time. She really rises above
it and gives a performance that's worth watching.
Unknown. Faye appears in these episodes (first and second
season) and there may be more that she appears in as well. So far,
she appears listed in the credits of the 1st season episodes only. The
list so far is as follows: "Reseda Rose" -- aired April 15, 1981 "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" -- aired April 29, 1981 "Fire Man" -- aired May 06, 1981 "Don't Mess Around With Jim" -- aired November 18, 1981 "The Lost Diablo" -- aired December 16, 1981
Comments:
From what I have been able to piece together, with much help from
Last Survivor, Faye appears to have
been a semi-regular for the 1st and 2nd seasons of this show. She
has not appeared in any of the 3rd season episodes that Last Survivor has
seen.

From Miss Josh Emmett:
In this pilot episode to introduce the characters, they land in World War
I. Faye play an actress, in France to entertain the troops.
She's helping Eddie Rickenbacker to 'run' from the enemy. So, the
problem is that airplanes haven't been invented. So the Voyagers
are off to Kitty Hawk, to help the Wright Brothers in their first solo
flight. When they return to France, the plane has been downed as
Rickenbacker tries to get Mary out of harm's way. He has been shot
and the Voyagers fight the Red Baron! As for Faye: she is in
the show for a very short time, so she really doesn't have to do much acting.
It is hard to review people with such little airtime, but she does a good
job when she's on. I always recommend the Voyagers! if you can find
it!
