With a prolific career as a director it would take most people two lifetimes to recreate, Robert Altman’s long and eventful life ended yesterday. From CNN.com:

Robert Altman, the caustic and irreverent satirist behind “M-A-S-H,” “Nashville” and “The Player” who made a career out of bucking Hollywood management and story conventions, died at a Los Angeles Hospital, his production company said Tuesday. He was 81. The director died Monday night, Joshua Astrachan, a producer at Altman’s Sandcastle 5 Productions in New York City, told The Associated Press.

At least he got to work with Lindsay Lohan before he died.
