Cameron Bruce Crowe (born July 13, 1957) is an American screenwriter and film director. Before moving into the film industry, Crowe was a contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine, for which he still frequently writes. Crowe has made his mark with character-driven, personal films that have been generally hailed as refreshingly original and devoid of cynicism. Michael Walker in The New York Times called Crowe "something of a cinematic spokesman for the post-baby boom generation" because his first few films focused on that specific age group, first as highers and then as young adults making their way in the world. Crowe's debut screenwriting effort, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, grew out of a book he wrote while posing for one year undercover as a student at Clairemont High School in San Diego, California, where he met Geraldine Edwards, who was a student there, and who he later based his Penny Lane character on in Almost Famous, when he discovered she was going backstage to rock and roll concerts. Later, he wrote and directed one more high school saga, Say Anything, and then Singles, a story of Seattle twentysomethings that was woven together by a soundtrack centering on that city's burgeoning grunge music scene. Crowe landed his biggest hit, though, with Jerry Maguire. After this, he was given a green light to go ahead with a pet project, the autobiographical effort Almost Famous. Centering on a teenage music journalist on tour with an up-and-coming band, it gave insight to his life as a 15-year-old writer for Rolling Stone. Crowe has stated that the Penny Lane character was based on his fellow San Diegan, Geraldine Edwards, who he met in 1975, as mentioned earlier. Part of the dialogue is also inspired by comments that were made by Bebe Buell in certain interviews. Also, in late 1999, Crowe released his second book, Conversations with Billy Wilder, a question and answer session with the legendary director.

Cameron Bruce Crowe ist ein US-amerikanischer Drehbuchautor und Filmregisseur. Bevor er in die Filmbranche wechselte, war Crowe Redakteur beim Magazin „Rolling Stone“. Crowes Debüt als Drehbuchautor, „Fast Times at Ridgemont High“, entstand aus einem Buch, das er während eines einjährigen Undercover-Einsatzes als Schüler an der Clairemont High School in San Diego, Kalifornien, schrieb. Dort lernte er Geraldine Edwards kennen, die ebenfalls Schülerin war und die er später als Vorbild für seine Figur Penny Lane in „Almost Famous“ nutzte, nachdem er herausgefunden hatte, dass sie Backstage-Bereiche von Rockkonzerten besuchte. Später schrieb und inszenierte er mit „Say Anything“ eine weitere Highschool-Saga und anschließend „Singles“, eine Geschichte über Mittzwanziger in Seattle, deren Soundtrack die aufkeimende Grunge-Szene der Stadt widerspiegelt. Crowes größter Erfolg war jedoch „Jerry Maguire“. Danach erhielt er grünes Licht für sein Herzensprojekt, die autobiografische Komödie „Almost Famous“. Ende 1999 veröffentlichte Crowe sein zweites Buch „Conversations with Billy Wilder“, ein Interview mit dem legendären Regisseur.

Cameron Bruce Crowe (nato il 13 luglio 1957) è uno sceneggiatore e regista americano. Prima di entrare nell'industria cinematografica, Crowe è stato redattore della rivista Rolling Stone, per la quale scrive ancora spesso. Crowe ha lasciato il segno con film personali e incentrati sui personaggi che sono stati generalmente acclamati come originali e privi di cinismo. Michael Walker del New York Times ha definito Crowe "una sorta di portavoce cinematografico della generazione post-baby boom" perché i suoi primi film si sono concentrati su quella specifica fascia d'età, prima come studenti e poi come giovani adulti che si fanno strada nel mondo. Il primo lavoro da sceneggiatore di Crowe, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, è nato da un libro che ha scritto mentre si fingeva per un anno uno studente sotto copertura della Clairemont High School di San Diego, in California, dove ha incontrato Geraldine Edwards, che era una studentessa e sulla quale ha poi basato il personaggio di Penny Lane in Quasi famosi, quando ha scoperto che lei andava nel backstage dei concerti rock and roll. In seguito, scrive e dirige un'altra saga liceale, Say Anything, e poi Singles, una storia di ventenni di Seattle, con una colonna sonora incentrata sulla nascente scena musicale grunge della città. Crowe ha ottenuto il suo più grande successo con Jerry Maguire. Dopo questo film, gli è stato dato il via libera per portare avanti un progetto personale, l'opera autobiografica Almost Famous. Il film, incentrato su un giornalista musicale adolescente in tournée con una band emergente, ha fornito informazioni sulla sua vita di quindicenne che scriveva per Rolling Stone. Crowe ha dichiarato che il personaggio di Penny Lane è basato sulla sua compagna di San Diegan, Geraldine Edwards, che ha conosciuto nel 1975, come già detto. Parte del dialogo è ispirato anche ai commenti fatti da Bebe Buell in alcune interviste. Inoltre, alla fine del 1999, Crowe ha pubblicato il suo secondo libro, Conversazioni con Billy Wilder, una sessione di domande e risposte con il leggendario regista.

卡梅伦·布鲁斯·克劳(Cameron Bruce Crowe,1957年7月13日-),美国编剧、电影导演。 在进入电影行业之前,克劳是《滚石》杂志的特约编辑,他仍然经常为该杂志撰稿。克劳以角色驱动的个人电影而著称,这些电影被普遍誉为令人耳目一新的原创且没有愤世嫉俗。《纽约时报》的迈克尔·沃克(Michael Walker)称克劳是“后婴儿潮一代的电影代言人”,因为他的前几部电影聚焦于这个特定的年龄组,首先是高年级学生,然后是年轻人。 克劳的处女作《里奇蒙特高中的快速时代》源于他在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的克莱尔蒙特高中卧底一年时写的一本书,在那里他遇到了杰拉尔丁·爱德华兹,他是那里的学生,后来他在《几乎成名》中以他的 Penny Lane 角色为原型, 当他发现她要去后台参加摇滚音乐会时。后来,他又编剧并执导了另一部高中传奇故事《Say Anything》,然后是《Singles》,这是一个关于西雅图二十多岁的故事,由以该市蓬勃发展的垃圾音乐场景为中心的配乐编织在一起。 不过,克劳与杰里·马奎尔(Jerry Maguire)一起获得了他最大的成功。在此之后,他获得了绿灯,可以继续进行一个宠物项目,即自传作品《几乎成名》。它以一位十几岁的音乐记者与一支崭露头角的乐队一起巡回演出为中心,深入了解了他作为滚石杂志 15 岁作家的生活。如前所述,克劳表示,Penny Lane 角色是根据他在 1975 年遇到的圣地亚哥同胞杰拉尔丁·爱德华兹 (Geraldine Edwards) 改编的。部分对话的灵感也来自Bebe Buell在某些采访中发表的评论。此外,在1999年底,克劳出版了他的第二本书《与比利·怀尔德的对话》,这是与这位传奇导演的问答环节。
