Biography: Certainly idiosyncratic as a writer, Cameron Crowe has created a series of scripts that, while liked by the critics, were considered offbeat and difficult to market. He began his writing career as a 1...( read more )5-year-old high-school student, with articles on music submitted to Rolling Stone magazine, and only a few years later had his first script, for Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). This movie was important for more than his career - his future wife Nancy Wilson had a small role in the film. Music remained important to him, with the rock band Pearl Jam playing a bit role in Singles (1992) well before they were "discovered". His next movie, Jerry Maguire (1996), took over five years to develop - a chance photograph of a football player and his agent was the initial inspiration. It took some 20 drafts and near terminal discouragement that he would ever get it right before the film finally made it to the screen. And this time his wife composed the music.

  Cameron Crowe has made so many great movies. The thing I love about him is how he captures the essence of an era. He also gets great performances from his actors. He makes films that take me back to some great times. He also was the writer of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" - an instant classic. "Almost Famous" was another of my favorites as he managed to make up a fake band, Stillwater, with a classic '70s sound. Keep up the good work, brotha!!
