I was a fan, from afar he seemed to understand the creativity of the talent he had at hand.
Was he someone you had the opportunity to work with, DMR? |

I was never fortunate enough to work with him. But I know several people that did and they all speak glowingly of the opportunity.
I did get to meet him on a couple of occasions and he was as nice and as gracious as could be.

A great career, and by all accounts, a kind man.
I mean, if you can't love the director of "Exit To Eden", who can you love? 
(Seriously, that movie is so bad that it's oddly watchable. Kind of like "Showgirls.") |

His sister certainly was. RIP. |
Actually, she is more of NBA fan. She is like Jim Goldstein (super weird looking guy who is always wearing odd outfits and a cowboy hat), goes to a ton a ton of Lakers games but wasn't really rooting for the Lakers. I think at one point she said she preferred the Clippers.

RIP
Was surprised to hear he was married for 53 years and had 3 kids. That's just as amazing if not more so than his career. |
