Jerry Harvey [1949-1988] wrote the screenplay and the
song for “China 9, Liberty 37” (1978)
starring Fabio Testi, Warren Oates, Jenny Agutter and directed by Monte
Hellman.
Harvey
had a tragic history with women. Harvey's
two older sisters, Mary and Ann, both committed suicide, in 1975 and 1978
respectively. These deaths haunted Harvey,
helping destroy two longtime relationships: first with actress Doreen
Ringer-Ross, who lived with Harvey
from 1973–78, and then with photographer/filmmaker Vera Anderson. Anderson and
Harvey were married in 1978, shortly after Ann's suicide; they were divorced in
1984. Harvey
married again in February 1986, to Deri Rudulph. They remained together until
April 9, 1988, when Harvey
killed Rudulph with a pistol before turning the gun on himself.
