Bird is an Academy Award-winning 1988 U.S. film directed by Clint Eastwood.

The film is a biopic, a tribute to the life and music of jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, written by Joel Oliansky. It is constructed as a collage of scenes from Parker's life, from his childhood in Kansas City, through his marriage to Chan Richardson, to his early death at the age of thirty-four.

In the middle of the 1980s, Charlie Parker's friend and colleague Teddy Edwards shared his reminiscences of the saxophonist to director and screenwriter Joe Oliansky, who had wanted to make a bio-pic about Charlie Parker starring actor Richard Pryor ^[1]. The production was postponed continuously, until the producer/actor Clint Eastwood took over the film project.

Forrest Whitaker's performance as Parker earned him the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination. [1] In addition, the film also won an Academy Award for Best Sound.
