The master of low budget film and, as noted, a mentor to many other film makers. His films ranged from pretty bad to pretty good. He had long innings. RIP.

MANY great stars got started with Roger Corman

Many stars saw their careers revived with him too (i.e., Angie Dickinson).

He also hired and taught some of today's greatest directors. One lesson was in being on budget and not sacrificing the good in a foolish quest for the perfect. I love the story of Ron Howard requesting another day of shooting so he could get his acting scene "right." Corman told him, "Well, you can show up tomorrow, Ron, but nobody else will be here."
