Roger Corman is an American director, producer, and actor. He has been active in the film industry for over six decades. Corman has been referred to as “The Pope of Pop Cinema” and is known for his low-budget films. He has also been credited with launching the careers of many Hollywood actors and filmmakers.

Corman was born in Detroit, Michigan, on April 5, 1926, the son of Anne (née High) and William Corman. His younger brother, Eugene Harold “Gene” Corman, has also produced numerous films. Corman attended Beverly Hills High School, where he was classmates with Francis Ford Coppola and Jack Nicholson. He then studied at Stanford University, but dropped out after a year to pursue a career in the film industry.

Corman began his career in the 1950s as a producer for American International Pictures (AIP). He oversaw the production of a number of low-budget films, including The Little Shop of Horrors (1960), A Bucket of Blood (1959), and The Intruder (1962). Corman also directed a number of films for AIP, including The Wild Angels (1966) and The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1967).

In 1970, Corman founded New World Pictures, a film production and distribution company. New World was responsible for producing and distributing a number of exploitation films, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and I Spit on Your Grave (1978). Corman also produced and directed a number of films for New World, including Death Race 2000 (1975) and Piranha (1978).

In the 1980s, Corman began to focus on producing films for cable television. He produced a number of made-for-TV movies, including Frankenstein Unbound (1990), which starred Raul Julia and John Hurt. Corman also produced and directed episodes of the TV series Tales from the Darkside and The Twilight Zone.

In recent years, Corman has been involved in a number of projects outside of the traditional film industry. He has published several books, including How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime (1998) and Roger Corman: An Unauthorized Biography (2002). Corman has also been active in politics, serving as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 2000.

Corman has been married twice. His first wife was Julie Corman, with whom he has two daughters, Catherine and Mary. His second wife is actress Nina Axelrod, with whom he has a son, Roger Jr. Corman currently resides in Beverly Hills, California.

As of 2020, Corman’s net worth is estimated to be $40 million.

Quotes

#Quote
1I've never made the film I wanted to make. No matter what happens, it never turns out exactly as I hoped.
2All my films have been concerned simply with man as a social animal.
3I think there is always a political undercurrent in my films. With the exception of The Intruder (1962), I tried not to put it on the surface.
4In science-fiction films, the monster should always be bigger than the leading lady.

Facts

#Fact
1He produced four sci-fi movies with Starfield Independent Studios: Falling Fire (1997), Future Fear (1997), Shepherd (1999), and Cybermaster (1999).
2Turned down the opportunity to direct Easy Rider (1969).
3He appeared in two Best Picture Academy Award winners: The Godfather: Part II (1974) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
4Attended and graduated from Beverly Hills High School.
5His paternal grandparents, Jacob Corman and Bessie Arst, were Russian Jewish immigrants. His mother was of German ancestry.
6Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7013 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on June 12, 1991.
7Although his films were notable for the flair and mobility with which he composed for widescreen, Corman revealed in "Cinema Retro" magazine (Issue #18) that he hadn't originally wanted to shoot his cult Poe series in Panavision: "I thought the anamorphic lens was better suited to westerns, whereas I was shooting in these contained little sets. But that was a decision made by AIP [American International Pictures]. They were convinced that just using that lens would not only make the pictures look bigger but sound bigger in the ads.".
8As an example of his influence in Hollywood, no Corman-produced movies were up for Oscars at the 1974 Academy Awards, but nearly every major category featured wins or nominations by "Corman School" graduates--those whom Corman had either started in the business or mentored early in their careers.
9Discusses his movie House of Usher (1960) in the book "A Sci-Fi Swarm and Horror Horde" (McFarland & Co., 2010) by Tom Weaver.
10Corman, as a director and/or producer, is credited with starting and/or mentoring the careers of many now-famous film directors, such as Jonathan Demme, Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, John Sayles, James Cameron, Joe Dante, and Martin Scorsese, and writers such as Robert Towne and John Sayles. He also discovered/gave early roles to then-unknown actors and actresses such as Jack Nicholson, Charles Bronson, Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Diane Ladd and Sandra Bullock.
11Father of Catherine Corman and uncle of Todd Corman.
12Society of Operating Cameramen (SOC) Recipient, Governors Award (CAMMY) (2004).
13Attended Stanford University and Oxford University.
14In Attack of the Bat Monsters (1999), the character Francis Gordon, as played by Fred Ballard, is "noticeably patterned" after him.
15Frequently has cameos or bit parts in the films of many successful filmmakers who got their start working for him, such as Jonathan Demme, Joe Dante and Francis Ford Coppola.
16His film The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) set a world's record for the shortest shooting schedule for a feature film...Two days!.
17Biography in: John Wakeman, editor. "World Film Directors, Volume Two, 1945-1985." Pages 234-242. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company, 1988.
18A running gag in Hollywood was that Corman could negotiate the production of a film on a pay phone, shoot the film in the booth, and finance it with the money in the change slot.
19In the new decade of the 1960s, he decided that he wanted to do something that would advance his career. When American International offered him a sum of money to create another one of their low-budget black-and-white double features, he countered with an offer to use the same money to shoot a single feature in color and Cinemascope. American International finally agreed to this offer. It led to the production of House of Usher (1960). The gamble paid off and the film became a box-office hit and generated something that was unusual for an AIP release - critical praise. This was followed by what became known as Corman's "Poe series".
20If he had to shoot a film on location, he would always try to shoot a second film at that same location in order to spread out the costs.
21In the early years of the American Releasing Corporation (later American International Pictures), he became one of their major sources of product for distribution. He would be given a sum of money and an advertising campaign (or somethimes just a title) and he would have to come up with the scripts and produce the films.

23Brother of producer Gene Corman.
