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

Did you know

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 (1975) 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.

Entertaining Bio Pic

In this bio pic, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim, create a religious network to reach millions of people and bring them closer to God, but Jim's shady business dealings and lustful urges bring them to their knees.

Both Chastian and Garfield are wonderful as Tammy and Jim and Chastain even does her own singing, acquitting herself nicely. Cherry Jones is also wonderful as Tammy's disapproving mother.
