Film director Robert Altman dies

Robert Altman, the acclaimed director of MASH, Nashville, Gosford Park and
The Player, has died at the age of 81, his production company has announced.

The Hollywood maverick, renowned for his improvisational style, died in a Los
Angeles hospital on Monday.

He was a five-time Academy Awards best director nominee, but never won the
movie industry's top honour.

However, he was given an honorary Oscar this year for "a career that has
repeatedly reinvented the art form".

One of Altman's final projects was a stage production of Arthur Miller's play
Resurrection Blues at London's Old Vic theatre.

Actor Kevin Spacey, director of the Old Vic, said he had been "privileged" to
work with him.

"Robert Altman was a truly unique director and an extraordinary man," he
said.

"We are all saddened by this news and send our condolences to his wife
Kathryn and family."

Actor and author Julian Fellowes, who wrote the screenplay for Altman's 2001
film Gosford Park, called him "an extraordinary character".

"He was a giant of the industry who kept the energy of a youthful rebel until
his 81st year," he told BBC News 24.


The recipient of a heart transplant in 1995, Altman was continually in and
out of favour with both audiences and critics.

His other films included the "revisionist" Western movie McCabe and Mrs
Miller and comic strip adaptation Popeye.

His last film, A Prairie Home Companion, was released in the US earlier this
year.

The cause of his death was not disclosed.

"No other film-maker has gotten a better shake than I have," he said while
accepting his honorary Oscar in March. "I'm very fortunate in my career.

"I've never had to direct a film I didn't choose or develop. My love for
film-making has given me an entree to the world and to the human condition."
