David Snell (journalist) Wild" was fired upon by Soviet Yak-3 fighters. Snell's "Atlanta Constitution" article speculates that the plane was forced down to prevent its crew from spotting a Japanese atomic bomb facility in what is now Hŭngnam, now the third largest city in North Korea. His discovery of the atom bomb story had been outside his official line of duty and was not any part of his official assignment. Snell became the "Life" assistant editor on February 1, 1955. Late in 1956, he was assigned to the Paris bureau. In 1967, Snell reviewed the Warren Beatty-Faye Dunaway film "Bonnie and Clyde". As
Faye Dunaway by Dustin Hoffman. The film was widely praised by critics and was one of Dunaway's few commercial successes at this point. That same year, she appeared in the lead role in "Puzzle of a Downfall Child" (1970), an experimental drama directed by Jerry Schatzberg and inspired by the life of model Anne St. Marie. The film failed to generate commercial interest, though it earned for Dunaway a second Golden Globe nomination, for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama. The film remained in obscurity over 40 years, until it was revived at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in honor of Dunaway.
