Based on the 2000 documentary of the same name by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, this biopic follows the rise and fall of Tammy Faye Bakker, a televangelist with outrageous makeup. Indeed, to play Tammy Faye, a famous and exuberant American televangelist, the actress had to make a radical physical transformation even changing her voice.
