Robert Altman
This American film director died today in 2006. He is known for making films that were highly naturalistic, but with a stylized perspective. In 2006, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognized his work with an Academy Honorary Award. His films MASH and Nashville have been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. He once said, "I fiddle in the corner where they throw the coins. Where I can get my work done." R.I.P. - Rest In Pictures...
