Biography

Jennifer Salt est la fille du scénariste Waldo Salt et de l'actrice Mary Davenport. Elle étudie au Sarah Lawrence College où elle rencontre Brian De Palma, lui aussi étudiant, qui la fait jouer dans un de ses courts métrages, ainsi que Jill Clayburgh avec qui elle devient amie.

Elle s'installe dans le début des années 1970 à Los Angeles. Elle y partage bientôt un appartement avec une autre jeune comédienne, Margot Kidder à Nicholas Beach, sur la Pacific Coast Hightway. Leur foyer devient vite un lieu de rencontre pour les acteurs et les réalisateurs représentant le Nouvel Hollywood : Brian De Palma y est hébergé lorsqu'il vient s'installer à Los Angeles après l'échec de son film Get to Know Your Rabbit, les réalisateurs Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, John Milius, Walter Hill, les acteurs Richard Dreyfuss, Bruce Dern ou le scénariste Jacob Brackman y viennent fréquemment. L'ensemble du groupe discute abondamment et souhaite « faire des films à message. » L'atmosphère est celle de la libération sexuelle des années 1970 : les deux jeunes femmes, accompagnées de leur amie Janet Margolin se baignent seins nus sur la plage, diverses drogues sont consommées.

Alors que Margot Kidder et Jennifer Salt souffrent de ne pas trouver de grand rôles et sentent leur carrière en panne, Brian De Palma leur dépose en cadeau de Noël, sous le sapin, le scénario de Sœurs de sang dont elles vont tenir les rôles principaux. Brian De Palma y engage aussi la mère de Jennifer Salt, Mary Davenport, pour jouer la mère du personnage qu'elle incarne.

The film opens with the MGM logo, as usual, but with the voice of Rene Auberjonois saying, "I forgot the opening line," replacing the lion roar and proceeds with The Lecturer (Auberjonois) regaling his unseen students with a wealth of knowledge of the habits of birds. Owlish Brewster (Bud Cort), living hidden and alone under the Houston Astrodome, dreams of creating wings that will help him fly like a bird. His only assistance comes from Louise (Sally Kellerman), a beautiful woman who wants to help. Wearing only a trench coat, Louise has unexplained scars on her shoulder blades, suggestive of a fallen angel. She warns him against having sexual intercourse, as this could kill his instinct to fly.
