Stanley Donen has died at age 94.
I've never liked musicals and only have a clear memory of a few of his movies, Charade, Two for the Road, Bedazzled and Blame it on Rio. He also directed the science fiction movie Saturn 3. I think I tuned into Saturn 3 just long enough to see Kirk Douglas's nude scene. It made me wonder if he had been dying to film nude scenes all those years and he could finally do it, or if he was forcing himself to to stay relevant. Or maybe he was a mature adult who had no strong feeling about it one way or the other.
He had been married five times and is survived by longtime companion Elaine May.
