Hilary Duff says she doesn't regret dissing Faye Dunaway.

After Dunaway, 68, criticized Duff's acting skills when she learned the singer, 21, was assuming her role in an upcoming remake of 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, Duff sniped, "None of my fans even knew who she is."

Look back at Hollywood's nastiest catfights

On Tuesday's Bonnie Hunt Show, Duff defends her remarks.

"She started acting way later than I did so I think I have time to grow and grow with each project," she says. "I am learning and work hard at my craft."

While Duff admits her remark was mean, she says, "It's not OK for people to take stabs at you and to say mean things for no reason."

Hunt tries to comfort Duff.

"I think even Faye went through a time, if you look historically, where some people might have said that about her," Hunt tells the singer, trying to justify how Dunaway criticized Duff's acting skills. "She has great beauty, but she proved herself."

    At least hillary has shown some class that time and age has not provided for fay. She took credit for her comments and admitted it wasn't the best thing she could have said. Where is Fay in this ? Fay,Oh Fay where are you ? Someone get her a walker so she can find her to a camera to explain her bad behavior. She just came across as a threatened older woman. Go Hillary ROCK THE ROLE

    How dare you rain on my parade when I am still planning when your parade didnt require much and you still enjoyed it! I also, dont believe you get respect from being old. It is also about how you carry yourself! What was the point in that comment? What were you trying to get accross? How was it going to help anyone? you were just being rude and nasty and catty and she spanked you right back!

    I am not a Hilary or Faye fan but, when older stars rant over something like this it is almost always hating. I am not a Beyonce fanatic either though I like some of her work, but when Etta James commented she brought up some valid points but also said what was real that is mine and I dont want to give it up to some young chick. at least that is her song though this is not Fayes movie!

    i am just trying to point out that Faye is hating and she had her time and now it is time to let Hilary make her spot in movie world. if she will suck so what the movie is not about you, you just were cast to act like someone and now she is being cast to act like that person. it doesnt mean u sucked itmeant you are too old to do it again! get a grip!

    Faye put herself n this position 4 being rude 4 no reason but hating! Duff is new n young n she will get there eventually. she at least didnt nd up strung out like so many of hollywoods "finest" so she is already cool 4 that. There was no paparazzi when Faye was starting off not like there is now and she didnt have the same competition. so y harass some kid 4 trying 2 make a doll

    Dunaway should have been more mature about the situation considering that she should have learned how to treat people by now, and Duff should have took it all with a grain of salt, and kept her mouth shut as well.
