Sweeney was for many years a domestic partner with David Lynch. The couple married in 2006 but filed for divorce one month later, citing irreconcilable differences.〔( "Lynch Files for Divorce" IMDB News 14 June 2006 (WENN) )〕 Together the couple has one son, Riley Sweeney Lynch, born in 1992. A long-time Hollywood resident, Sweeney is head of The Sullivan Canyon Riders Club, a Los Angeles-based equestrian club. The club has worked to prevent land used by equestrians from being sold to developers, an effort that was supported financially by well-known film director Steven Spielberg and actress Kate Capshaw.〔"Spielberg Donates $12 Million to Horsies" – July 11, 2002 (WENN) IMDB news〕 ==Biography== Sweeney began her career as an assistant editor for film editor Duwayne Dunham on such films as ''Blue Velvet'' and ''Wild at Heart'', and the television series ''Twin Peaks''. She soon became director David Lynch's first choice as film editor. As their working and off-screen relationships developed, Lynch promoted Sweeney to producer (she was responsible for handling the post-production end of each show).〔("Interview with Mary Sweeney, Editor, 'The Straight Story'" ) By Elina Shatkin, EditorsNet, October 14, 1999〕 In 1994, Sweeney read an article in the ''New York Times'' about an old man who drove a tractor cross-country just to see his ailing brother. The article piqued Sweeney's interest, and for four years she sought to the film rights to the story.〔( "Interview with Mary Sweeney, Editor, 'The Straight Story'" By Elina Shatkin, EditorsNet, October 14, 1999 )〕 Sweeney retraced the journey of the tractor owner, Alvin Straight. Along the way she met several of the same people whom Straight had met, which helped her and her co-author John Roach draft their screenplay. When Sweeney broached the idea of making a movie based on Straight's journey to her partner David Lynch, he was initially uninterested in the project, but after he read the script, he changed his mind. Lynch decided to direct the film, which would be his "straightest" narrative film to date. Sweeney made her feature film directorial debut in 2009 with the film ''Baraboo'', which she also wrote. The film follows several people living in a motel in a Midwestern town and shows how they interact with each other. 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「Mary Sweeney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
