Faye Dunaway used a ghost writer to help her write her autobiography but there are passages in the book that didn't need a ghost writer. Faye's Momma, Grace April Smith, wrote this poem about Faye on the night she found out Faye had signed her first movie contract:

"Saturday night, February 12, 1966, 11:30 p.m. Faye called from New York to tell me of signing her first movie contract with Columbia. My thoughts:

O! Lord, hold my Baby high, 

With feet in hands, up into

The starlit sky. 

Let not man deter her height,

But gaze upon the lovely sight.

Would they know the road

She trod to gain this height;

They would respect with all

Their might!

Some day when the Star shines

With heavenly bright;

The world will know the ray of light.

O! Time burns away the years;

Bringing her destiny so near, so near. 

Hold her Lord with upward arms;

And keep away all hurt and harm.
