Before Susan met Robert, she wasn’t looking to settle down. She was highly focused on her career as the vice president of production at Silver Pictures, and things stayed that way after they got married. She only quit her job in 2009 to start her own production company, Team Downey, with Robert. Team Downey seems to focus on creating content for streaming platforms, with shows like “Perry Mason,” “Sweet Tooth,” “Sr.” and “Downey’s Dream Cars.”
In her Buzzfeed interview, Susan talked about being a producer, “We’re entertaining people, but we’re not saving lives, you know?” she added. “[It’s] one of the things I learned from Robert over the years. I was always so goal-oriented, and just put my head down [to] do the work — and he’s like, ‘But how ’bout enjoy the process?’ Because that’s what we actually have to do every day.” And while it’s not uncommon for a producer to indulge in ego-driven drama, Susan explained that she usually steers clear of those things and focuses on getting the best results.
Even Robert added that it was incredibly rare to see her have an outburst, and it only occurred when someone pushed her limits. He told The Hollywood Reporter that he learned about a producer’s real job after meeting Susan because he believed that a producer was an intimidating person who did everything to get their way.
