Lady Rowlands (born Mary Allen Neal; April 12, 1904 – May 28, 1999) was an American film actress. Most of her work came in the films of John Cassavetes, who was married to her daughter, the Academy Award-nominated and four time Emmy Award winning actress Gena Rowlands. ==Life and career== Rowlands was the daughter of Tennessee Virginia (Hickey) and William Joel Neal. She was married to Edwin Myrwyn Rowlands, a banker and statesman, with whom she lived in Cambria, Wisconsin. They had two children, David and Virginia (later known as Gena Rowlands). She lived as a housewife, but practised music, acting and painting as hobbies. Rowlands later moved to California along with her daughter and son-in-law, actor John Cassavetes.〔 Cassavetes began directing films, and cast Rowlands in three of his pictures. She adopted the screen-name "Lady Rowlands", a nickname given by her grandchildren.〔 In ''Minnie and Moskowitz'' (1971) and ''A Woman Under the Influence'' (1974), she played the mother of her real-life daughter. Her home was used for the filming of ''Faces'' (1968) and ''The Killing of a Chinese Bookie'' (1976). Aside from her work with Cassavetes, Rowlands also appeared in two television movies and had a role in the film ''Ted & Venus'' (1991). Her grandchildren, Nick Cassavetes, Alexandra Cassavetes and Zoe Cassavetes, are all film directors. 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「Lady Rowlands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
