Susan Bottomly (born 1950), also known as International Velvet, is a former American model and actress. She is known for her appearances in several of Andy Warhol's underground films. ==Early life and career== Born in Boston, Bottomly is the daughter of John Bottomly, a lawyer who prosecuted the Boston Strangler. At the age of sixteen, she began modeling with the Ford Agency and appeared on the cover of ''Mademoiselle'' magazine. The following year Bottomly met poet and Factory regular Gerard Malanga who introduced her to Warhol. After appearing in a ''Screen Test'', Bottomly was renamed International Velvet and went on to appear in ''Since'' (1966), ''Superboy'' (1966), ''Chelsea Girls'' (1966), '' * * * * (The 24 Hour Movie)'' (1967), and ''Midnight Cowboy'' (1969). She was, in Warhol's words, "very beautiful". A tall, long-necked brunette with graceful physicality, she impressed the artist deeply. She worked diligently on her personal cosmetics regimen, a process which Warhol observed with fascination: "Watching someone like Susan Bottomly, who had such perfect, full, fine features, doing all this on her face was like watching a beautiful statue painting itself."〔 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「Susan Bottomly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
