Jack Nicholson, Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro were some of the actors whose careers he helped develop.

RIP Roger, thanks for Gunslinger, The Undead, Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell and so many more.

      Did you ever know that you’re my hero

      And everything I would like to be?

      I can fly higher than an eagle

      For you are the wind beneath my filth.

    Reposting this from elsewhere:

    Roger Corman is responsible for the careers of:

    Francis Ford Coppola

    Martin Scorsese

    James Cameron

    Peter Bogdonavich

    Joe Dante

    Ron Howard (as a director)

    Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Bruce Dern and Ellen Burstyn all started their acting careers in films Corman was responsible for.
