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

He also bank rolled Maximum Overdrive.

Cause of death was probably being surrounded by family.

Damn them taking up all of his precious air!

He gave the world Giada and I thank him for that....oh and the only good Transformers movie.
