Billie Bird in Real Life
Back in the fabulous 1950s, Billie Bird fluttered onto the silver screen as a schoolteacher in “Dallas.” That gig was her golden ticket; she’d grace us with her presence in six more flicks and even make a cameo in 1980s TV nostalgia goldmine “The Wonder Years.”
But wait, there’s more. She donned the badge in “Police Academy 6: City Under Siege” and left us with one final gem in “Home Alone” before saying her earthly goodbyes in 2002. Like a great stand-up act, she knew just when to leave the stage—keeping fans forever hungry for just one more laugh.
