Cameron Crowe & Nancy Wilson divorcing after 20 years

Sad news for anyone who is a fan of rock n’ roll. Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Cameron Crowe and his wife Nancy Wilson (of Heart) are divorcing after 20 years of marriage. Crowe is the writer/director of such films as the autobiographical Almost Famous (a favorite of mine), Vanilla Sky, Jerry Maguire and Singles. Nancy Wilson, in addition to her rock career, has worked with Crowe on many of his films, doing music arrangements, writing songs and working on the soundtrack. They have two children together. And they seemed really, really tight!

Court records show rocker Nancy Wilson has filed for divorce from writer-director Cameron Crowe after more than 20 years of marriage.

The Heart singer-guitarist cited irreconcilable differences for the divorce, which was filed Sept. 16.

The court filings say Wilson and Crowe separated in 2008.

They were married in 1986 and have twin 10-year-old sons. Wilson is seeking joint custody.

Crowe is known for directing films such as “Jerry Maguire” and “Say Anything.” He won an Oscar for writing the screenplay for the film “Almost Famous.”

I wonder if there’s any scandal there? These days, you never can tell. I thought director Robert Rodriguez was a good guy and a solid family man, and he dumped his wife (and mother of his, like, four or five children) for actress Rose McGowen. So did Cameron leave his wife for some young actress? Did Nancy leave Cameron for some hot rock ‘n roll piece? I don’t know. Maybe it was just Elizabethtown and the badness that is Orly Bloom.

Here’s one of my favorite scenes from Almost Famous:
