Roger Corman film producer gave me my first lead role for college tuition in the The Big Doll House. Peace be still Roger. Fun times.

Sad, fond farewell to the great Roger Corman, one of the most important figures in American Film History! You had one hell of a run, Maestro! Listen to last year's @BeyondFest tribute to Roger and a handful of his talented acolytes here. With love.https://t.co/hZSHtGjcs1

Modern American cinema begins with Roger Corman. Without him we would not have Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdanovich, Nicholson, Demme and countless others. My film school was a drive in theater in the 1970s and Roger Corman was the Dean. pic.twitter.com/P6ReDb5T1K

I knew you well during a time when shooting the film we were making was physically dangerous and you were very brave. We had a good time, we did an exceptional movie and you were wonderful. RIP Love Bill pic.twitter.com/oUFGbUwysS

RIP Roger Corman, a true legend who leaves behind a one-of-a-kind legacy. We had the privilege of speaking to him last year. He’ll be missed.https://t.co/xMIDTzxdpC

Working at New World Pictures for Roger, I helped create the marketing campaigns for some of their films. What an honor and a privilege it was to work for Roger. His was truly the best film school in the world. https://t.co/BFVD7Ub8o2

I have a Roger Corman story. It’s fun, but weird, as I am gathering most Roger Corman stories tend to be.

I was a fan of his movies and his legend and legacy.
At the very beginning of my comics career, his office contacted me.

This was one of my favourite parts from the Joe Bob Briggs Roger Corman Jamboree special that was filmed March 15th last year. Bruce Dern starts with a story about making Silent Running (1972) and it becomes something much more than bts trivia. Corman will forever be missed. pic.twitter.com/IoG6TD2g8i

If it wasn't for Roger Corman, there would be no Wicker Man Director's Cut.

In the early 1970s, UK distributors sent Roger a 1 inch tape of the film to distribute it in the US, but Roger thought they wanted too much. Roger kept it for decades, and was the ONLY surviving copy! pic.twitter.com/VTWVNTT8xg
Sad!
