Richard Donner, the legendary director behind Superman, Lethal Weapon and The Goonies, has died aged 91.

Donner was born in New York City on April 24, 1930. Though starting his entertainment career with the intent of becoming an actor, he eventually stepped into directing with episodes of Steve McQueen’s western serial Wanted: Dead or Alive and the Chuck Connors western The Rifleman.

Before emerging as one of Hollywood’s most reputable talents in the ’70s and ’80s, he worked on a wide array of TV shows, including The Fugitive, Combat!, Get Smart, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Wild Wild West, Gilligan’s Island, Kojak, Tales from the Crypt and The Twilight Zone‘s famous ‘Nightmare at 20,000 Feet’ episode with William Shatner.

RIP Mr. Donner.

You helped the world believe that a man could fly and that a Superman could live among us, and your contribution to the Superhero mythos will never be forgotten

RIP.

He was truly one of the greats. I'm sure almost everyone has at least one movie of his that they love.
