The Eyes of Tammy Faye: The film, based on a true story, is a look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of the televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, portrayed by Jessica Chastain. In the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband Jim Bakker (Andrew Garfield) founded the most important American religious broadcasting network, created a major theme park and rose to fame thanks to 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. Over the years however, financial improprieties, scheming rivals and scandal toppled the multi-million dollar empire they had so carefully constructed.
