When it came to showmanship on a low budget, Roger Corman was a master. The beloved producer, who died Thursday at his Santa Monica home at the age of 98, became a Hollywood icon for producing a multitude of successful films on a shoestring, which earned him the title “King of the B’s.” Many of the films also served as training grounds for several prominent filmmakers including Francis Ford Coppola, Jack Nicholson, Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, James Cameron, Sylvester Stallone and numerous others. While the list of cult classics and drive-in theater gems could fill a lengthy scroll, the following examples display the magic Corman touch. 1. “Eat My Dust!” (1976): This wild car chase comedy about the son of a sheriff and his girlfriend going for a joy ride in a stolen car was the launchpad for Howard’s career as an award-winning director, proving he was no longer the little boy on “The Andy Griffith Show.” (Prime Video). 2. “ The Little Shop of Horrors” (1960). Corman directed this comedy about a hapless florist’s assistant who raises a plant that craves human

The CHP urged anyone with information regarding the crash to call its Baldwin Park station at 626-338-1164.

Federal prosecutors are recommending a 40-year sentence for the man convicted of attempting to kidnap former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assaulting her husband with a hammer after he broke into the couple’s San Francisco home in 2022. In a sentencing memorandum filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, prosecutors said that David DePape has failed to take responsibility for his crimes and has not shown remorse. They also argued that his sentencing should include a terrorism enhancement. Prosecutors referred to DePape’s crimes as “an assault on our democracy and fundamental values.” “At a time when extremism has led to attacks on public and elected officials, this case presents a moment to speak to others harboring ideologically motivated violent dreams and plans,” prosecutors wrote. DePape’s attorneys, federal public defenders Jodi Linker and Angela Chuang, have requested a 14-year prison sentence, citing their client’s “abusive, long-term relationship with a partner who exploited his innate vulnerabilities and immersed him in a world of extreme beliefs where reality is not reality.” “Her influence began at a formative and critical period in his life and extended far
