Christine Belford (born January 14, 1949) is an American television and film actress. She has sometimes been credited as Christina Belford. ==Early life== Christine Belford was born in Amityville, Long Island, New York. She once lived at 112 Ocean Avenue, the location which later became famous as the setting of ''The Amityville Horror'', for about five years from age 11 until age 16. As a young child and teenager in Long Island, she was active in equestrian trials, winning many horsemanship awards.〔Pack, Harvey "Christine Belford: Starlet of '72" Sarasota Herald-Tribune (July 2, 1972) page 47 (also available online at the (Google Books ) newspaper archive)〕 "She was enrolled at the best schools and joined the best swimming and yachting clubs on Long Island."〔 After graduating high school in 1966, she attended Hofstra University, initially interested in a career in psychiatry. However, the classwork she did with Joseph Leon, the head of the drama department there, inspired her to become an actress.〔 IN 1970, after college she moved to New York City and did some modeling work there, but no acting. Additionally, she said: "In order to keep a roof over my head and to eat, I took any job I could get. I was a waitress, a bar maid, and I also drove an ice truck."〔 〕 For both personal and professional reasons, she moved to Los Angeles around the end of 1970. There, at the suggestion of a friend, actress Carrie Snodgress, she auditioned at Universal Pictures, performing a scene from the film ''The Country Girl'' for talent head Monique James — Christine then received a seven-year acting contract from Universal Pictures〔 -- "a very precious commodity issued only to a chosen few."〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christine Belford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
