OCCUPATION: Actor. AGE: 22. PROVENANCE: Los Angeles, PERSONAL BEST: Towne starred in director Don Roos’s short-lived NBC comedy M.Y.O.B. and played Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford's daughter in What Lies Beneath, WHAT LIES AHEAD? This summer, Towne takes on celluloid comedy in Ivan Reitman’s Evolution—“kind of a Ghost busters with aliens" and stars in the indie Sol Goode, but first she can be seen in the long-awaited, much-delayed Town & Country, with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn. “I look so different in that film. That was, like, the third film I ever did. It was a long time ago.” THE QUESTION SHE DREADS THE MOST: ‘“Oh, is your father ... ?' I'm like. ‘Yeah, next question.'" Her father is Chinatown screenwriter Robert Towne. “He didn’t want me to be an actor. I really had to prove myself, and it wasn’t like he got me an agent. I had to go and scrounge." THE LAST DETAIL: “I'm always at home reading scripts, worrying about my next job and wanting to work with really cool people and wanting to make cool things happen.”
