520 1 $a"The original King of the Exploitation Film, Roger Corman produced each of his four hundred plus films on a shoestring budget and made a profit on nearly every one. In the process, Corman has become the role model for today's independent filmmaker, laying the groundwork for the success of directors like Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. This guru with a vision has also demonstrated an uncanny eye for talent, being among the first to recognize and employ the abilities of Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Ron Howard, John Sayles, and James Cameron to name but a few." "Based on her own experience and interviews with more than eighty friends and colleagues, Beverly Gray provides an insider's look at the public and private lives of this soft-spoken giant of the cinema."--BOOK JACKET.
