The Eyes of Tammy Faye — Documentary Film Artwork (2000)
With her smeared mascara, trembling voice, and unfiltered emotion, Tammy Faye Bakker became one of queer culture’s most unlikely saints. The 2000 documentary The Eyes of Tammy Faye reframed her not as a punchline, but as a woman of radical empathy—one of the first televangelists to speak openly with and about gay men during the height of the AIDS crisis, insisting on love over judgment when few in her world would.
The film’s artwork, centered on her iconic, tear-streaked eyes, captures that mix of camp, vulnerability, and defiant compassion that made her a cult figure.
