For Jessica Chastain’s turn as the televangelist Tammy Faye, whose husband Jim Bakker was famously convicted of defrauding their congregation out of $158 million, there was one commitment to the character that had to be upheld. “We had [makeup artist] Linda Dowds create these amazing lashes that she just kept layering more and more gunk onto,” she tells Bustle in a frank conversation about her experience making the film, while also calling out the media’s obsession with Faye’s aesthetics. “It's upsetting for me that people cared more about how much mascara she was wearing than what she was actually doing.” Read More
