Season 12

E01: Supreme Lord Chancellor of Sexy Faces Faye Dunaway stars in this … an actual Chinatown episode!

She does an amazing job, to tender, and I almost cried. Columbo is so excited that she loves him—really loves him. He adores sexy women and never gets hit on. So getting hit on my the Supreme Goddess was a universal justice. Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde is the sexiest portrayal in the history of cinema, and her face the sexiest, most stunning, most amazing, superlative unsurpassable, transcendent evil-sexy-Satanic beauty in the history of all humanity. In fact, in Bonnie and Clyde, Dunaway’s face is even sexier than Debbie Harry’s. Which is rare. By which I mean, never—except for one, which is Faye Dunaway.

Say her name!
