That interview was in the Guardian (sorry, feeling pedantic) - the story originally comes from the Easy Riders Raging Bulls book (a must for anyone who likes that era). Seeing Dunaway on Wossy and reading that piece was kinda sad - she's a proper fucking icon, but jeezuz, that facelift.
Can't add to that, just absolute perfection.
Two Jakes was too baffling for its own good first time I watched it. Second time I think I got stoned and fell asleep. What Nicholson says about them making 3 movies with the same character over several decades (so they age in time, as it were) was really interesting - pity it didn't work out better.
I always thought Chinatown got the idea for its title from Lady From Shanghai - just that notion of China containing a kind of evil that was impenetrable and unknowable for the average Jack/Orson, something alluded to but never really explained. But they contradict that on the DVD extras - it just stands for the failure of good intentions, or something.
