THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE
DISNEY+ FILM
Drama about the rise and fall of Tammy Faye, wife of US TV evangelist Jim Bakker (Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield, right). Jim, like almost all televangelists, was a grifting fraud who ended up in prison. Tammy Faye became a gay icon after sympathetically interviewing a man with AIDS on her TV show in 1985 – unusual behaviour for someone on the ‘Christian’ right. From Wednesday
