Filmmakers enjoyed their heydays in the 1970s.
The world of cinema has lost two luminaries in Rocky director John G. Avildsen and A Clockwork Orange editor Bill Butler.
Avildsen died on June 16 from pancreatic cancer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 81.
After starting out as a cinematographer he ventured into directing, eventually guiding Jack Lemmon to an Academy Award-winning performance in Save The Tiger in 1974.
Three years later he won the directing Oscar for Rocky – a film he later professed to having had no initial interest in until he became enchanted by the first pages of Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar-nominated script.
Avildsen’s other credits included the first three films in The Karate Kid franchise in the 1980s and Rocky V in 1990.
Briton Bill Butler, who earned an editing Oscar nomination for Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 avante-garde A Clockwork Orange, died in hospital in Sherman Oaks, California, on June 4. He was 83.
