Famed B-movie king Roger Corman, whose hundreds of low-budget films launched the careers of the likes of Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, has died. He was 98.<\/p>\n

Corman passed away on Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, surrounded by family. He was famed for his fast-paced, low-budget genre movies and trailblazer of indie cinema.<\/p>\n

Over time he directed 55 films and produced around 385 films over a career spanning nearly sixty years.<\/p>\n

His notable directorial efforts include the original \u201cThe Little Shop of Horrors,\u201d \u201cX: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes,\u201d \u201cMachine-Gun Kelly,\u201d \u201cThe Terror\u201d and noted Poe adaptations like \u201cThe Masque of the Red Death,\u201d \u201cHouse of Usher,\u201d \u201cThe Pit and the Pendulum,\u201d and \u201cThe Tomb of Ligeia\u201d.<\/p>\n

He famously hired women in key executive, creative and on-screen roles at a time when studios were more discriminatory over age, race and gender.<\/p>\n

He was co-founder of New World Pictures, founder of New Concorde and a longtime member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He scored an honorary Oscar in 2009 for his contributions to cinema.<\/p>\n

He also imported foreign art films and effectively marketed and distributed works from the likes of Peter Weir, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Francois Truffaut, and Federico Fellini.<\/p>\n

Corman is survived by his wife, producer Julie Corman, and daughters.<\/p>\n
