==EventsBiography==
Sara Dylan's early career was as a fashion model and [[Playboy bunny]]. She changed her first name from Shirley to Sara at the request of her first husband, magazine photographer Hans Lownds. Hans almost ordered her to do this, stating, "I can't be married to a woman named Shirley." <ref>Sounes, p200</ref> According to Peter Lownds, her then-stepson, Sara met Dylan in Greenwich Village in 1962. "Her meeting with Bob was the reason (Sara left Hans) — he was famous, and she was very beautiful," says Lownds.<ref>Sounes, p200</ref>
* [[Michael Jackson]]'s first film was ''[[Moonwalker]]''
Sara Lownds and Bob Dylan were wed in a secret ceremony on [[November 22]] [[1965]], during a break in his tour. The marriage took place under an oak tree on a judge's lawn on [[Long Island, New York|Long Island]]. The only other participants were [[Albert Grossman]] and a maid of honor for Sara.<ref>Sounes, p232</ref>

During her marriage to Bob Dylan, Sara Dylan bore three sons and a daughter: [[Jesse Dylan|Jesse]], Anna, Samuel, and [[Jakob Dylan|Jakob]]. Jakob, the youngest, would later become well-known as the lead singer of the band [[The Wallflowers]]. Bob adopted Sara's daughter Maria from her first marriage, affording her the unique [[Dylan]] surname, although she is the only member of the Dylan family not to have retained it.
== Awards ==
Friends and family have described Sara as a good, loving mother who shunned the limelight. Her only public endeavor after marrying Dylan was to play the role of Clara in Bob Dylan's film ''[[Renaldo and Clara]]'' (released 1978).

==Common biographical errors==
:<u>'''Drama:'''
Sara Dylan is often referred to as "Sara Lownds, wife of Bob Dylan", which is inaccurate; "[[Dylan]]" is not a [[stage name]] but the former Robert Allen Zimmerman's legal surname. Sara Lownds changed her surname to Dylan on her marriage and retained the Dylan surname after they divorced.

Sara Dylan is also sometimes incorrectly identified as "Sara Lowndes"; the error apparently comes from a long-debunked but often-repeated report that her first husband was one-time [[Playboy]] executive Victor Lowndes.

==Sara Dylan in Bob Dylan's songs==
'''[[Golden Lion|GOLDEN LION]] (Venice Film Festival):'''
Sara Dylan has inspired several of Bob Dylan's songs, at least two directly. The first was "[[Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands]]" (from ''[[Blonde on Blonde]]''), and the second the eponymous "Sara" (from 1976's ''[[Desire (album)|Desire]]''). This song was an attempt to reconcile with Sara after their estrangement around 1975:
:'''''[[La Leggenda del Santo Bevitore]]''''' (''The Legend of the Holy Drinker''), directed by [[Ermanno Olmi]], Italy / France
:''I can still hear the sound of the [[Methodist]] bells''
'''[[Berlin Film Festival|GOLDEN BEAR]] (Berlin Film Festival):'''
:''I had taken the cure and had just gotten through''
:'''''[[Red Sorghum]]''''' (''Hong gao liang''), directed by [[Yimou Zhang]], China
:''staying up for days in the [[Chelsea Hotel]]''
:''writing ''"Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands"'' for you''
Bob Dylan's 1975 album ''[[Blood on the Tracks]]'' is widely viewed as the most potent of Sara's inspirations, as many fans assume the songs refer to her. The album was recorded soon after the couple's initial separation. Bob Dylan [[biographer]] Clinton Heylin, has argued that Sara Dylan's influence on the lyrical content of the album is often exaggerated. Bob Dylan himself, denied at the time of the album's release that ''Blood on the Tracks'' was autobiographical, however the couple's son Jakob says: "The songs are my parents talking"<ref>Sounes,Howard,''Down the Highway the Life of Bob Dylan'' (Doubleday 2001; ISBN 0-552-99929-6)p333.</ref>
