Jessica Chastain in The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE is an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. In the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity. Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Jessica Chastain said she initially had the impression that Tammy Faye Bakker often had running mascara, as parodies and impressions of Tammy Faye on late night TV and Saturday Night Live often featured her crying with heavily running mascara. Chastain noted that when researching Tammy Faye, she couldn't find a single image or video of her with mascara running; Tammy Faye only wore waterproof mascara.
    • Goofs
      When their son was born and Tammy admitted to her affair the President was Ford not Reagan. So Jim did not receive a letter from President Reagan at that time.
    • Quotes

      Rachel Grover: Oh, Tammy Faye. You follow blindly. In the end, all you are is blind.

    • Crazy credits
      Tammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) gives a thumbs up at the end of the closing credits.

    Chastising is phenomenal! You will love Tammy!
    Jessica Chastain is phenomenal in this role portraying the colorful, loving, naive, optimistic Tammy Faye, even performing the songs! I cried when she cried. The story reveals the Tammy many never knew. I am so very glad I saw this movie about this loving person portrayed by an incredible actress.
