Eyes of Tammy Faye, The

Who can forget the eyes . . . caked with thick makeup, mascara streaking with the perpetual tears, her small frame overwhelmed by those eyes. She and former husband, Jim Baker, dominated the 80’s and reinvented Christian television. To most of us she was a caricature even as we were perversely fascinated. Yet, she is a woman of intense contradiction and stubborn style whose life even Hollywood couldn’t have invented. The filmmakers chronicle the rise and fall, the scandals, the excess and the pain but above all the survival of a truly unique woman.
