One less person to share my birthday with!   :poo:

Quote from: ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Dino De Laurentiis, an Academy Award-winning film impresario and producer of "Serpico" and "Barbarella" who helped revolutionize the way movies are bankrolled and sold, has died. He was 91.

The Academy Award-winning producer's daughter said her father was surrounded by family when he died Wednesday night at his home in Beverly Hills. The statement from Raffaella De Laurentiis did not give a cause of death.

De Laurentiis was a legend of Italian New Wave filmmaking. His works also included "Bitter Rice," "La Strada" and "Barbarella."

When I die and see him in the afterlife, I'm gonna be "Dude, I fucking loved Orca!"
