Roger Corman was a mentor to many Hollywood greats including Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese.
He is best known for low-budget classics such as Little Shop of Horrors and Attack of the Crab Monsters and a series of films based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
A remarkable judge of talent, he hired such aspiring filmmakers as Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, James Cameron and Martin Scorsese. In 2009, Corman received an honorary Academy Award. Peter Fonda's appearance in The Wild Angels was a precursor to his own landmark biker movie, Easy Rider, co-starring Nicholson and fellow Corman alumnus Dennis Hopper.Corman's B-movie directors were given minuscule budgets and often told to finish their films in as little as five days.
Corman got his start as a messenger boy for Twentieth Century Fox, eventually graduating to story analyst.
