Chinatown movie screenwriter who won an Oscar for the screenplay Robert Towne has died at the age of 89.
Towne died on Monday at his home in Los Angeles, his spokesperson told the AFP news agency.

Towne’s handprint could be seen in the background of, among other things, the Godfather and Bonnie and Clyde movie scripts.
The screenplay for Chinatown, released in 1974, has been considered one of the best screenplays in Hollywood history.
In addition to Chinatown, Towne received three other Oscar nominations for his screenplays.
