Roger\u00a0Corman, the fabled \u201cKing of the B\u2019s\u201d producer and director who churned out low-budget genre films with breakneck speed and provided career boosts to young, untested talents like\u00a0Jack Nicholson<\/a>,\u00a0Ron Howard<\/a>,\u00a0Peter\u00a0Bogdanovich<\/a>, Martin\u00a0Scorsese, Francis Ford\u00a0Coppola, Jonathan\u00a0Demme, Gale Anne\u00a0Hurd\u00a0and\u00a0James Cameron<\/a>, has died. He was 98.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filmmaker, who received an honorary Oscar in 2009 at the Governors Awards, died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, his family told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corman perhaps is best known for such horror fare as The Little Shop of Horrors<\/em> (1960) and his series of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations starring Vincent Price, but he became celebrated for drugs-and-biker sagas like The Wild Angels<\/em> (1966), which was invited to the Venice Film Festival as the Premiere Presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also achieved notoriety for producing\u00a0The Trip<\/em>\u00a0(1967), which starred\u00a0Peter Fonda<\/a>\u00a0as a man on an LSD-inspired odyssey. Its controversy delighted\u00a0Corman, who was one of the first producers to recognize the power of negative publicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
