		She was profiled in a 1999 documentary, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, which, along with a subsequent appearance on The Surreal Life, significantly softened her public image.

	DVD Review - The Eyes of Tammy Faye
		Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (co-directors and producers of this film) go to great lengths to paint Tammy Faye as a person who was as affected by the goings-on of her life with Jim Bakker as she was by her portrayal by the media.
		Bailey and Barbato talk with Tammy Faye's family in International Falls, MN, including her brother and aunt ("When she was born, she had perfectly manicured finger nails").

	The Eyes of Tammy Faye (1999): Tammy Faye Bakker, Jim Bakker, Pat Boone, JM J. Bullock - PopMatters Film Review
		Though they all declined to be interviewed (and some didn't even respond to Tammy Faye or the filmmaker's requests), the obviously staged image of Tammy Faye sitting at her typewriter banging out these letters becomes a running gag (at least, the OUTFEST audience was chuckling when the shot came up the third and fourth times).
		Tammy gets teary-eyed as she demands an apology from Charles, who insists his book is an honest account of the scandal.
		Tammy Faye doesn't offer any evidence to the contrary; instead she starts weeping and insisting Jim Bakker is an honest man and PTL was an honest organization.

		The documentary traces Tammy Faye's progression from Bible student to televangelist with her own electronic ministry to survivor of the spectacular scandal that stripped her and former husband Jim Bakker of their positions and led to his imprisonment.
		We wanted to make the film because we thought Tammy Faye was an interesting person and we thought it was kind of curious that everyone hated her so much.
		Tammy was the thing that everybody wanted to reach out and touch, to be a part of.

		With: Tammy Faye Bakker Messner, Roe Messner, Jim Bakker, the Rev. Mel White, Pat Boone, Tammy Sue Bakker Chapman, Steven Chao, Jim J. Bullock, Roseanne, Greg Gorman, Charles Sheperd, James Albert.
		Tammy was and remains a Class A oddity who cannot be taken seriously as she recounts her life from its beginnings to the Odyssey of the Tammy-Jim Bakker duo, its rise and fall, to developments and updates through recent times.
		Apparently he hated PTL because (among the reasons given by Tammy) he was against its all-embracing nature, its acceptance of all denominations, of gays, addicts, and so on.

		Tammy Faye Bakker, she of the layers of makeup that made her face into a living Halloween mask, will forever remain a camp icon of '80s culture for many of us.
		The story of Tammy Faye Bakker Messner's life is so "American dream" in its arc, yet so unlikely in its details, that fans of Dolly Parton, Martha Stewart, Hillary Clinton, and Judy Garland alike should find some kind of resonance in the tales of her ups and downs.
		Tammy Faye is way more interesting than what this documentary shows and has an undeniable appeal that I can attest to as I had the good fortune to literally walk up to Tammy Faye and her second husband in the streets of New York City only minutes before this documentary had its NYC premiere.

	The Eyes of Tammy Faye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The film skirts Tammy Faye's early years to focus mainly on her meeting and subsequent relationship with future televangelist Jim Bakker, and their rise to fame and fortune as the guiding lights/stars of the first world-wide satellite Christian program, the PTL (Praise the Lord) Club.
		It is, of course, a one-sided presentation, since as we're told (in a particularly funny repetition) that Tammy Faye and the producers wrote to many of the principles involved in the rise and fall of the Bakkers, and virtually everyone refused to be interviewed.
		The directors also use some hilarious cross-cutting to belie some of Tammy Faye's assertions: i.e., the brief segment about her addiction to Ativan and her time at the Betty Ford Clinic includes Tammy claiming to be free of addiction, which is immediately followed by several quick cuts of the lady guzzling Diet Coke.

	Movie Review - The Eyes of Tammy Faye (documentary) - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		Tammy was just the one with too much makeup, crying at the slightest provocation.
		Heck, the film starts with Tammy saying the eyes are the window to the soul, so when a loved one dies, she tries to keep their eyeglasses as momentos.
		She even seems to admit her own pop-cultural punch line, self-parody status when she says, "Without my eyelashes, I wouldn't be Tammy Faye." Indeed: She IS what we remember her as being, and it doesn't go a whole lot deeper than that.

		There is some great footage of a drugged-out Tammy Faye staggering around the set of her show acting goofy and ignoring everybody else.

		One of the things this documentary subtley conveys is that Tammy Faye is more resilliant than she is brilliant.
		In "The Eyes of Tammy Faye", documentarians Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato explore the life and tribulations of televangelism's biggest star of the 1980s, the "first lady of religious broadcasting", Tammy Faye Bakker.
		"The Eyes of Tammy Faye" is sympathetic to Tammy Faye -and her maquillage- which is a nice respite from the often cruel and disproportionate attacks she has undergone in the press.
