Filmmaker Russ Meyer Dies at 82

Russ Meyer, the filmmaker who helped put "sexploitation" films on the map and whose name was practically synonymous with big-busted vixens, died Saturday at his home in Hollywood Hills; he was 82. According to a spokeswoman from his company, RM Films International Inc., Meyer had suffered from dementia and complications from pneumonia. A combat photographer who began working in Hollywood upon his return from World War II, Meyer found fame with his 1959 filmmaking debut The Immortal Mr. Teas, a movie that changed the standard "nudie film" format by working in an actual plot ? as well as the amazingly endowed women that would become his trademark. In essence creating a new film genre, Meyer cemented his reputation (and his legacy) in the 60s with cult classics like Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! And Vixen, which poured on violence as well as healthy doses of sex antics. It was the latter film's success that attracted the interest of 20th Century Fox, which signed him to helm the 1970 major studio release Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, which was scripted by film critic Roger Ebert; a year later he made his most mainstream film, The Seven Minutes, which featured then-wife Edy Williams. With the advent of hard-core pornography (Meyer's films were titillating but never explicit) and the demise of drive-ins, Meyer found his career success waning, but he continued to promote his movies on video and DVD through the 80s and 90s. Meyer was married and divorced three times, but left behind no children.
