Robert John Downey Sr. (nama lahir Robert Elias Jr. ; 24 Juni 1936 – 7 Juli 2021)[ 2] adalah pemeran, sutradara, produser, penulis naskah, dan sinematografer Amerika Serikat serta ayah dari pemeran Robert Downey Jr. Ia dikenal karena menulis dan menyutradarai film bawah tanah Putney Swope , sebuah sindiran mengenai dunia periklanan New York Madison Avenue . Menurut pakar film Wheeler Winston Dixon , film-film karya Downey Sr. semasa dasawarsa 1960-an adalah skandal tanpa kompromi dengan anggaran minimal dan sindiran yang keterlaluan dengan secara efektif mendorong agenda kontra-budaya saat itu.[ 3]
Kehidupan masa kecil
Robert Elias Jr. lahir di Manhattan , Kota New York dari pasangan Elizabeth (née McLauchlen) yang bekerja sebagai model dan Robert Elias Sr. yang bekerja di bidang manajemen motel dan rumah makan.[ 2] Kakek-nenek dari pihak ayah adalah orang Yahudi Lituania ,[ 4] sedangkan ibunya adalah keturunan berdarah campuran Yahudi Hungaria dan Irlandia.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] He grew up in Rockville Centre, New York .[ 10] Dia mengubah nama keluarganya menjadi Downey (mengikuti ayah tirinya James Downey) ketika dia ingin mendaftar di Angkatan Darat Amerika Serikat saat masih di bawah umur.[ 9] [ 11] Downey kemudian mengatakan dia menulis novel yang tidak diterbitkan selama waktunya di tentara, meskipun menghabiskan sebagian besar karier militernya "di benteng."[ 10]
