Billie Bird (February 28, 1908 – November 27, 2002) was an American actress and comedienne.
Born Berniece Bird in Pocatello, Idaho, Bird was discovered at the age of eight while living at an orphanage. As a child, she worked in vaudeville, and later in theater/cabaret before moving on to television and films.
She is credited on the Internet Movie Database with an appearance in a 1921 film, but it is not clear if this is accurate. Otherwise, she broke into films in 1950, later making a brief uncredited appearance in The Odd Couple as a chambermaid. Her only line was "Goodnight", which was said to Felix Ungar, in which he returned with "Goodbye." Bird was often cast by director John Hughes and appeared in many of his 1980 and 1990s films, including Sixteen Candles, Home Alone, and Dennis the Menace, the latter two of which paired her with veteran Hughes actor, Bill Erwin, as her husband. She also starred as Mrs. Lois Feldman in Police Academy 4. Her last film appearance was in 1995's Jury Duty, with Pauly Shore.

Keywords: independent-filmAre you scared of the dark
Are you afraid they’ll break your heart
Are you afraid you’ll lose yourself
Are you afraid of your own health
Are you scared to lose
Are you afraid to choose
Are you afraid you’ll win
Are you scared of your own sin
Are you scared to forgive
Are you afraid to live
Are you afraid to die
Do you think you told a lie
Chorus:
To live
When you think you’re dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you’re gonna fall
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all
Are you afraid you’ll be alone
Are you scared to pick up the phone
Are you scared of the past
Do you think that you might crash
Do you think you’re in too deep
Are you afraid to sleep
Are you scared there’s no stability
Are you afraid of your own fragility
To live
When you think you’re dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you’re gonna fall
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all
To mend
When you’re think you’re breaking
To strength
When you know you’re shaking
To pray
When your back’s against the wall
It’s only fear after all
Are you scared of the end
Are you scared to begin
Are you scared of the start
Do you think they’ll break your heart
Do you think they’ll break your heart
To live
When you think you’re dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you’re gonna fall
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all
It’s only fear
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
