Robert Towne

A Film by Terry Sanders & Freida Lee Mock
30 Minutes

Emmy Nominated
In creating a character, Robert Towne says, "You must ask what it is he or she is really afraid of. It's my best way of getting into a character." Towne thinks the writer has more control over his art than the director. "When I write," he says, "the only limits are my imagination and my ability to do it."

Robert Towne Selected Filmography:

Chinatown
