Stars of the Golden Era: Celebrities You Wouldn’t Believe Are Still Alive
Roger Corman — 97 Years Old
Roger Corman, often hailed as the “King of B Movies,” carved a unique niche in Hollywood with his low-budget, high-entertainment films. His fame skyrocketed after he directed a series of cult classics based on Edgar Allan Poe’s works, like “The Pit and the Pendulum” in the 1960s.
These films, often starring Vincent Price, combined gothic horror with a campy flair, captivating audiences and critics alike. Roger’s genius lay in his ability to produce films swiftly and economically, often with a dash of humor. One of his best-known works is “Death Race 2000,” which became a cult classic for its over-the-top action and satirical edge.
