Warren Oates is GTO. Laurie Bird is the girl. Dennis Wilson is the mechanic. Two-Lane Blacktop is the picture."; about two men drag racing across the USA in a grey '55 Chevy; based on the story by Will Corry) starring James Taylor, Warren Oates, Laurie Bird (in her first movie role), Harry Dean Stanton, and Dennis Wilson (member of the rock & roll group The Beach Boys, in his sole acting appearance!). Note that Laurie Bird was 17 year old model when she got this major role. She did a great job and it seemed like it would be the start of a substantial career, but alas, that was not to be. Following a couple more minor roles, she quit acting and became a photographer. At the age of 25, she committed suicide in her boyfriend's (Art Garfunkel's) apartment.
