Cameron Crowe

Few people noticed Cameron Crowe when he attended the last Broadway preview of Almost Famous, a musical based on the movie he wrote and directed, partially based on his last teen’s years. There in the audience, he politely, if tangentially, answered one question.

Cameron Crowe started his unusual career as a 16-year-old rock journalist for Rolling Stones. He went on to become a Golden Globe nominated filmmaker with Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous.

It isn't easy making a joyful movie these days.
