 This thread came from the OLD DOTHAN MEMORIES Facebook group. It is an exchange between myself and Dale Cox concerning the location of the house where Faye Dunaway was born near TWO EGG. 

Dale: "Faye was actually born in Two Egg. The Farms at Two Egg sits on her birthplace site today. It was a Bascom rural route back then. She attended school at Bascom Elementary."

Robertoreg: "Yeah, I guess she was born in a sharecropper's house on the Tipton place. The way she explains it in her book is that her parents were tired of living with the Dunaways so Faye's daddy got an offer to live on the Tipton place to do labor for them while he was able to farm four acres on his own."

Dale: " That's right. Her uncle Fletcher told me that he was under the house playing with the dogs when she was born. You can still see the little slight hill where it stood as you drive by. I dropped a pin on this map.

"By the way, the Williams family that owns The Farms at Two Egg on the site do all kinds of great things there from drive-in movie nights to Easter Egg hunts. I will suggest to them that they show Bonnie and Clyde some night."
