Spider-Man Gainsbourg-Birkin Biopic actress Lucy Gordon Hanged herself in Paris flat | Mail Online

Spider-Man actress Lucy Gordon left two suicide notes before hanging herself in Paris flat

New pictures show actress in film she made with cameraman boyfriend
Tragic British actress Lucy Gordon left two suicide notes before hanging herself in the Paris flat she shared with her cinematographer boyfriend, her father said today.
Miss Gordon, 28, who played reporter Jennifer Dugan in Spider-Man 3, detailed her last wishes regarding her estate on one piece of paper and left a letter for her parents on another.
Her father Richard Gordon said a post-mortem examination proved she had died from hanging and that no other marks were found on her body. He spoke today to end speculation that the death might be anything other than suicide.

Tragic: Lucy Gordon, pictured here at the Spider-Man 3 premiere in 2007, was found dead in her Paris apartment

Speaking from the family’s Oxford home on what would have been Miss Gordon’s 29th birthday, Mr Gordon, 60, said: 'There is no question of foul play. Lucy committed suicide.'

Miss Gordon’s boyfriend, revealed today as top cinematographer Jerome Alveras, was asleep in the Paris apartment when the actress hanged herself on Tuesday night.

Mr Gordon said: 'We speak to him daily and he is also distraught.'

Almeras - the cinematographer behind last year's Kristin Scott Thomas hit film I've Loved You So Long - has spent the last two days being questioned by police about his 28-year-old lover’s apparent suicide.
The pair are believed to have had a lovers’ tiff on Tuesday night with Mr Almeras waking up on Wednesday morning to a scene of horror.
Mr Almeras, a Frenchman in his 40s, rushed out of the two-bedroom rented flat in Paris’s 10th arrondissement and alerted a nearby shopkeeper, but it was too late to save Miss Gordon.

British Spider-Man 3 actress Lucy Gordon was 'so in love'

Neighbours said Mr Almeras told them Miss Gordon had been deeply affected by the recent suicide of a friend in Britain. Some described hearing the row between the couple on Tuesday night.

Today the flat was empty, with Mr Almeras nowhere to be seen. He had been due to celebrate Miss Gordon’s 29th birthday with her.

Their names both remained on the post box of their flat in the mansion block.

An experienced camera operator, Mr Almeras has worked on numerous films, including Cineman, in which Miss Gordon had a role.
The film, a comedy, is currently in post-production. It was not clear if the couple had met on the set or if they knew one another previously.
He was still being questioned last night, but the spokesman stressed it was believed Miss Gordon committed suicide.

Her father said: 'She was the light of mine, her mum's, and her sister's lives'

Hollywood part: Miss Gordon played British reporter Jennifer Dugan in 2007's Spider-Man 3

He has cooperated fully with police from the start, making a clear and consistent statement about what happened in the £2000-a-month rented mansion flat in Paris's 10th arrondissement on the Right Bank of the Seine.

Earlier police had described him as in a 'state of some shock'.

Miss Gordon died just two days before her 29th birthday and hours before she was due to be interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival.

Authorities are conducting an autopsy today, with the cause of death expected to be announced later this afternoon.
‘The autopsy is a routine procedure which follows an apparent suicide,’ said a French police spokesman. ‘Hanging appears to be the obvious cause of death, considering the horrific circumstances in which the young woman was found.’

LUCY'S FATHER:
'She had been acting since the age of two, which was really as soon as she could walk. Her career had been just taking off, and it's a tragedy that it has been cut short so soon'

Neighbours have told police that Miss Gordon was seldom home, as she was always out working or socialising.
Miss Gordon had become a familiar figure in the cafés, restaurants and clubs of Paris, enjoying all that the city had to offer in between filming.
Miss Gordon, who played a British TV reporter in the 2007 film Spider-Man 3, found fame as a model while still at an Oxford public school.
She went on to be the face of U.S. make-up giant Cover Girl and moved into acting a few years later.
She appeared in the 2002 film The Four Feathers alongside Heath Ledger, the Australian star who died from an overdose of prescription drugs in January last year.
Last night her father Richard, a teacher, paid tribute to her at the detached family home in Oxford where he lives with her mother Susan, 58, and sister Katie, 27.
Mr Gordon, 60, said: 'The whole family is so proud of Lucy, and we always have been.
'Her death has come completely out of the blue and the entire family is devastated.
'Everything about how she died is just speculation at the minute, and we want to concentrate on paying tribute to our daughter.
'We have loved her so much throughout her life. She was the light of mine, her mum's, and her sister's lives.
'Lucy was a lovely, generous and unselfish person who always gave so much thought to other people and put them before herself.'

Promising role: Miss Gordon, pictured left, played the actress and singer Jane Birkin in a biopic about the late French singer Serge Gainsbourg currently being previewed at the Cannes Film Festival
Mr Gordon added: 'Acting was what she had always wanted to do. She had been acting since the age of two, which was really as soon as she could walk. Her career had been just taking off, and it's a tragedy that it has been cut short so soon.'

Miss Gordon was in the fourth form at £10,000-a-year Oxford High School - whose famous pupils have included entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox, MP Margaret Hodge and actresses Miriam Margolyes and Dame Maggie Smith - and still had braces on her teeth when she was talent-spotted by a model agency as she and her mother visited a Clothes Show Live exhibition.

In 1997, shortly after passing nine GCSEs, she followed stars like Cybill Shepherd, Helena Christensen and Tyra Banks into the Cover Girl role.

English rose: Miss Gordon had a successful career as a model before becoming an actress

In an interview at the time she said she was continuing her studies for history, biology and French A-levels.

She said: 'I'm terrified about taking my A-levels, but equally terrified about not having any option apart from modelling in the future.

'There are a number of things that keep me at school. I could get bored with being a model. I could even get fat. I don't want to be stuck for choice at 25. If I've got my exams, then I will still be able to do a lot with my life.

'Being a model doesn't make you immune to insecurities, either. One thing you have to get used to is rejection.'

Stunning: Miss Gordon's first modelling assignment was for Cover Girl cosmetics when she was only 15
She soon moved on to films, appearing in Serendipity with John Cusack in 2001.
At the Cannes Festival she was due to be interviewed about her leading role playing British-born actress and singer Jane Birkin in a film about her late husband Serge Gainsbourg, the French songwriter, actor and director with whom she sang the notorious Je T'aime. . . Moi Non Plus.

Lucy was talent-spotted by a model agency as she and her mother visited a Clothes Show Live exhibition

Miss Gordon pipped the couple's daughter Charlotte for the role and Miss Birkin had praised her performance.

Mr Gordon said his daughter had spent much of her childhood and her summer holidays in France and was bilingual.

She recently moved to Paris after living in New York.

Felicity Lusk, headmistress of Oxford High School, said last night: 'I remember Lucy very well because she was an extremely talented actress.

'She came to me asking for time off to go on a modelling assignment in New York, which was astonishing for someone that age to be doing during their studies.
'After that her success came very quickly, but she remained a modest and unassuming people-person.

'Lucy is still very well-admired by everyone who knew her when she was at the school and we're proud of what she achieved.'

Media reports in France said Miss Gordon's boyfriend ran to a nearby shop for help after finding her dead on Wednesday morning.

One police officer was quoted as calling the scene in the flat 'absolutely horrific'. He added: 'There will be a post-mortem examination, but there were no indications it was anything other than suicide.'
Judicial sources said they would also be interviewing close friends and family of Miss Gordon to try and establish a motive for her sudden suicide.
She was flourishing in her professional life, so emotional problems related to her personal life would be a principal line of enquiry, said the sources.
Miss Gordon moved to Paris to work on the Universal Pictures film ‘Vie Heroique’ (Heroic Life), about French singer Serge Gainsbourg.
Her portrayal of Jane Birkin, who fell in love with Gainsbourg in 1969, was hugely praised after she spent many weeks perfecting the role around Paris’s Latin Quarter.
Among those she had pipped for the role was Gainsbourg’s own daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Birkin herself, who still lives in Paris, was among those who had been highly impressed. Famous co-stars included French movie legend Brigitte Bardot.

Fetishistic Advocacy for Speed in Titles | Art of the Title

Seven sequences of stirring mobility.

REPO MAN

The opening sequence to Alex Cox’s “Repo Man” is perfect punk pixelation; distillation of a bitmapped nation. With Iggy Pop’s ripping fucksweat beat and the stringent static map motion, everything about the credit sequence moves, not unlike classic punk poster art.

LOST HIGHWAY

Plunging the dark horizontal depths of possible collision/possible arrival, David Lynch and title sequence designer Jay Johnson perhaps borrow from Jack Cardiff’s “The Girl on a Motorcycle,” and Monte Hellman’s “Two-Lane Blacktop” for the speed dream start to “Lost Highway.” The variable velocity puts you ill at ease while the atmospheric thrust of David Bowie and Brian Eno’s track, “I’m Deranged,” imbues the cryptic mix.

Art of the Title is willing to bet Oliver Stone had one hell of a shot list for the opening credit sequence that features nicely delineated aesthetic for every episodic bend of this very long drive (the gradual matting of Sean Penn’s hair tells the story). A scratch type “crossroads crucifix” is added to the director credit. Drugs and vultures follow. Exacting inserts detail the small truths of time and place.

MULHOLLAND DR.

The crooked black melodrama, the kind that David Lynch traffics in exclusively and without peer, is set within the weird, sinking delirium of Angelo Badalamenti’s score. The distance between our hovering eye and the shadowy, almost woozy conveyance coddles the curiosity.

Crushers original keyboard (Japanese translation seriously.) Video games and increased androgen man turns out to be more instinctive aggression (American Studies)

ビデオゲームAccording to scientists at the University of Missouri study, the increase in male hormones in their violent video games to play multiplayer, when confronted with problems concerning their reproductive and territorial males of other animals I like that found similar hormonal responses indicate.

The guy called me a male instinct, the men went wild with it, I'm called to be more aggressive.
Unreal aggression: A study of male hormone and games

Study, see a game called Unreal Tournament 2004 will use him, 42 college students who were the subjects were randomly allocated to a team of three. Each subject was "out-group" and other game modes to play against the team, "the group" made a play in two game modes that compete with his teammates.

Unreal Tournament 2004

Before making the actual game, each team was given six hours of rehearsal time together. Immediately after the group beat out, the winning team male students, significantly higher testosterone levels than losing team. Contributed the most to win player of the team, especially tended.

In other animals, a similar hormonal response occurs. Higher testosterone levels in males compete for all, increase the competitive ability and aggression, the most successful male, they are often significantly higher testosterone levels after the fighting.

Interestingly, when fighting with teammates in a group match in the tournament, all players testosterone levels fall, won the best male students are the lowest testosterone levels. Such a reaction that could be an evolutionary mechanism to dampen competition in the population.

These hormonal responses, as well as physiological responses to protect territory or in a group fighting for reproductive or other animals in the male, suggesting that the men shown on a video game man The. Unreal Tournament multiplayer video games like the 2004 type, strategy and cooperation with other group members are men, joined together to battle, that could eliminate the threat to reproduce the social status may.

No wonder the game too excited, that's not the case is going great. You mean that I'm wild instincts aroused.

THE DEVIL’S BACK IN TOWN

Between The Ice Storm and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee made Ride with the Devil, a beautifully crafted and viscerally thrilling film about the American Civil War, told from an unorthodox point of view and starring Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, and Jeffrey Wright as conflicted Confederate sympathizers. At the time, however, Lee wasn’t able to see his vision all the way through. At the studio’s urging, he delivered a project that was more an action picture than the ruminative, idiosyncratic drama he’d intended; details were cut and the pacing of certain scenes (including the devastating Lawrence Massacre set piece) altered. Now, with the help of the Criterion Collection, Ang Lee presents Ride with the Devil the way he intended, in a restored director’s cut, available in both Blu-ray and DVD special editions. “Thanks to Criterion, I finally have the opportunity to do the material justice,” Lee says. “With the addition of eleven minutes of footage, it is what it’s supposed to be—a bigger movie. It really breathes like one, and the complex history comes to life. Ride with the Devil is a true American story, and I love it.”

Complex history comes to life in this clip of Bushwhackers Jake (Tobey Maguire) and Jack Bull (Skeet Ulrich) encountering a wealthy, Union-fearing landowner.
