약력

Karen Blanche Black (née Ziegler; July 1, 1939 – August 8, 2013) was an American actress, screenwriter, singer, and songwriter. She rose to prominence for her work in various studio and independent films in the 1970s, frequently portraying eccentric and offbeat characters, and established herself as a figure of New Hollywood. Her career spanned over 50 years and includes nearly 200 credits in both independent and mainstream films. Black received numerous accolades throughout her career, including two Golden Globe Awards, as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. A native of suburban Chicago, Black studied theater at Northwestern University before dropping out and relocating to New York City. She performed on Broadway in 1965 before making her major film debut in Francis Ford Coppola's You're a Big Boy Now (1966). Black relocated to California and was cast as an acid-tripping prostitute in Dennis Hopper's road film Easy Rider (1969). That led to a lead in the drama Five Easy Pieces (1970), in which she played a hopeless beautician, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Black made her first major commercial picture with the disaster film Airport 1975 (1974), and her subsequent appearance as Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby (1974) won her a second Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Black starred as a glamorous country singer in Robert Altman's ensemble musical drama Nashville (1975), also writing and performing two songs for the soundtrack, which won a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack. Her portrayal of an aspiring actress in John Schlesinger's drama The Day of the Locust (also 1975) earned her a third Golden Globe nomination, this time for Best Actress. She subsequently took on four roles in Dan Curtis' anthology horror film Trilogy of Terror (1975), followed by Curtis's supernatural horror feature, Burnt Offerings (1976). The same year, she starred as a con artist in Alfred Hitchcock's final film, Family Plot. In 1982, Black starred as a trans woman in the Robert Altman-directed Broadway debut of Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, a role she also reprised in Altman's subsequent film adaptation. She next starred in the comedy Can She Bake a Cherry Pie? (1983), followed by Tobe Hooper's remake of Invaders from Mars (1986). For much of the late 1980s and 1990s, Black starred in a variety of arthouse, independent, and horror films, as well as writing her own screenplays. She had a leading role as a villainous mother in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses (2003), which cemented her status as a cult horror icon. She continued to star in low-profile films throughout the early 2000s, as well as working as a playwright before her death from ampullary cancer in 2013.

이지 라이더
Karen
웨트와 빌리, 장발의 두 젊은이는 미국의 의미를 찾고자 미국을 횡단하는 여행을 시작한다. 그들은 서부 개척 시대에 반항이라도 하듯 거꾸로 동쪽으로 향한다. 마약을 팔아서 여비를 마련하고 가진거라곤 달랑 오토바이 두 대 뿐인 이들의 여행에 계획이란 없다. 여행길에서 이들은 아주 독특한 사람들을 만나게 되는데, 목장 주인과 그의 가족, 히치 하이커와 히피 공동체 사람들, 또 창녀와 남부의 백인 노동자들이 그들이다. 하지만 무엇보다도 눈에 띠는 사람은 바로 변호사이지만 주인공들처럼 정착을 싫어하고 자유롭길 원하는 조지 핸슨이다. 그가 기꺼이 여행에 합류하자 자유를 실천에 옮기는 두 사람에게는 그것을 이론으로 완성시켜주는 이론가를 하나 얻은 셈이었다. 조지는 웨트와 빌리에게 사람들이 그들을 싫어하는 이유는 바로 그들이 누리는 자유 때문이라고 일러준다. 빌리는 그저 자신들의 긴 머리 때문이라고 생각했는데 말이다. 하지만 이런 깨달음을 얻은 그날 밤 그들은 누군지도 모르는 사람들에게 습격을 당하는데...
