Roger Corman, Hollywood mentor and 'King of the Bs,' dies at 98
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Roger Corman, the Oscar-winning “King of the Bs” who helped turn out such low-budget classics as “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Attack of the Crab Monsters” and gave many of Hollywood’s most famous actors and directors early breaks, has died. He was 98.
Corman died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, California, his daughter Catherine Corman said Saturday in a statement.
“He was generous, open-hearted and kind to all those who knew him,” the statement said. “When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, ‘I was a filmmaker, just that.’”
