Russ Meyer, “king of the nudies”, dies.
“In 1970 Meyer made a rare foray into the Hollywood mainstream when he directed Beyond the Valley of the Dolls for 20th-Century Fox. In later years he would remember this as his career high point. “That’s the best film I ever made,” he said. “Don’t talk to me about art and all that crap. That movie made me a ton of money.”
Refreshing.
