Theatrical Releases
 

Movie: "Crossing Delancey"  (1988)  Character: Candice Costars: Amy Irving, Peter Riegert, David Hyde Pierce Critics:  GMR:  3 out of 4.  VMG:  4 1/2 out of 5. Comments:          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.

Movie: "January Man"  (1990) Character:  Allison Hawkins Costars:  Kevin Kline, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel  Critics: GMR:  2 out of 4.  VMG:  2 out of 5. Comments:                   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.

Movie: "Vibrations"  (1995) Character: Zena Costars:  James Marshall, Christina Applegate, Paige Turco Critics: GMR:  2 1/2 out of 4.  VMG:  Turkey. Comments:        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 Christina Applegate's characters.  That part is pretty cheesy.  But the love story is kinda sweet.  And it's not the typical high-school romance thing either.  I wouldn't have paid $7 to see it in a theatre, but it's O.K. as a rental.

Movie: "Senior Trip"  (1981) Character: Unknown Costars: Scott Baio, Mickey Rooney, Vincent Spano Critics: GMR:  1 out of 4.  VMG:  Not Listed. Comments:        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".  Purchasing Info: Video is Out of Print.

 

Movie: "Omen IV - The Awakening"  (1991) Character: Karen York  Costars: Michael Lerner, Michael Woods Critics: GMR:  2 out of 4.  VMG:  Turkey. Comments:          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.  Comments:          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.

1982	TV Show:	"Voyagers!"
	Character:	Mary Murphy
	Episode Name:	"Voyagers!"
	Stars of Show:	Jon-Erik Hexum, Meeno Peluce
	Comments:	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!
