Deauville 2026: Three Days of Cinema and One Legend, Faye Dunaway

From Sep­tem­ber 7 to 9, the 52^nd Deauville Amer­i­can Film Fes­ti­val con­tin­ued its cel­e­bra­tion of cin­e­ma with 36 screen­ings over three days, aver­ag­ing 12 screen­ings each day.

But above all, these three days were marked by the pres­ence of a true leg­end of Amer­i­can cin­e­ma: Faye Dun­away.

A guest of hon­or at this year’s Fes­ti­val, the icon­ic actress received the Deauville Icon Award, cel­e­brat­ing a remark­able career that has left an indeli­ble mark on film his­to­ry. On the Fes­ti­val stage, Nico­la Peltz Beck­ham pre­sent­ed Dun­away with the award, after the two had posed togeth­er at Hôtel Bar­rière Le Roy­al Deauville before walk­ing the red carpet.

🏆 The tro­phy for the 52^nd Deauville Amer­i­can Film Fes­ti­val is an orig­i­nal cre­ation by the French crys­tal house Daum.

The cel­e­bra­tion con­tin­ued on Deauville’s leg­endary Planch­es board­walk, where Faye Dun­away dis­cov­ered the beach hut that now bears her name — anoth­er trib­ute to an icon who joins the pres­ti­gious list of major film fig­ures hon­ored by Deauville.

Nico­la Peltz Beck­ham, accom­pa­nied by Brook­lyn Peltz Beck­ham, also added to the excite­ment of these three days at the Fes­ti­val. From the red car­pet and award cer­e­mo­ny to mem­o­rable moments shared with Faye Dun­away, the cou­ple were among the notable guests of this lat­est chap­ter of #Deauville2026.

By the num­bers: 3 days, 36 screen­ings, 12 screen­ings per day.
And one leg­endary icon at the heart of Deauville: Faye Dun­away.
