Welles began shooting The Other Side of the Wind in 1970. Kodar says she co-wrote the screenplay with Welles, though it dates back to the early 1960s as a project Welles first conceived with Keith Baxter and Anthony Perkins in key roles. With a plot revolving around an aging film director's 70th birthday party, the film was conceptualized as a cynical portrait of the 1970s Hollywood – parodying the end of the studio system, and the experimental new filmmakers of the New Hollywood, as well as mocking various European Directors. The shooting, featuring Kodar in a sex scene with Bob Random in a station wagon, dragged on for years and never got completed.
