Laurie Bird (September 26, 1952 – June 15, 1979) was an American actress and photographer. ==Life and career== Bird's mother died when she was three. Her father, an electrical engineer, was a former sailor in the United States Navy, and worked long hours. Although she had two brothers, she more or less raised herself. Described by Hollywood columnist Dick Kleiner as "look() like an innocent Hayley Mills", Bird appeared in just three films: ''Two-Lane Blacktop'' (1971), ''Cockfighter'' (1974), and a small role in ''Annie Hall'' (1977). (Archival footage of the actress in ''Two-Lane Blacktop'' is featured in the 2006 documentary ''Wanderlust''.) Bird was the still photographer on ''Cockfighter'' and shot the cover photo for Art Garfunkel's 1977 album ''Watermark''. She was romantically involved with her ''Blacktop'' and ''Cockfighter'' director Monte Hellman, and later with Garfunkel for several years. In 1979 Bird committed suicide by taking an overdose of Valium〔(Michael Atkinson - ''Exile Cinema: Filmmakers at Work Beyond Hollywood'' )〕 in the apartment she shared with Garfunkel in New York. At Bird's funeral, her father revealed that her mother's death, previously reported as being from ovarian cancer, was also a suicide. Garfunkel referred to his relationship with Bird in the liner notes of his 1988 album ''Lefty''. Tim Kinsella's novel ''Let Go and Go On and On'' (2014) is subtitled "Based on the roles of Laurie Bird." In the foreword he writes, "This book by no means intends to convey any ''truth'' beyond one possible solution to the puzzles of her life and work." 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「Laurie Bird」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
