98 years old, he had a pretty good run. The same wife since 1970, a Rarity-in tinseltown.

A true icon. He did make it to a pretty ripe old age, but his passing only seems to make the past that I enjoyed all the more “past”.

Read up on the people he got started in the business, reads like a Who's Who of Hollywood.

From Wikipedia: "Corman is also famous for handling the U.S. distribution of many films by noted foreign directors, including Federico Fellini (Italy), Ingmar Bergman (Sweden), François Truffaut (France) and Akira Kurosawa (Japan). He mentored and gave a start to many young film directors such as Francis Ford Coppola,[10] Ron Howard,[11] Martin Scorsese,[12] Jonathan Demme,[13] Peter Bogdanovich,[14] Joe Dante,[15] John Sayles,[16] and James Cameron,[17][18] and was highly influential in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s.[19][20] He also helped to launch the careers of actors like Peter Fonda,[21] Jack Nicholson,[17] Dennis Hopper,[16] Bruce Dern,[22] Diane Ladd,[23] and William Shatner.[24]"

Roger is a very important part of Cinema. For the reasons Ron mentions and his own style of authorship.
