British filmmaker John Guillermin, known for directing the 1976 hit “King Kong” and the disaster classic “The Towering Inferno”, has died. He was 89.
Guillermin, who also helmed the famed Agatha Christie whodunit “Death on the Nile” (1978), died Sunday of a heart attack at his home in Topanga, California, reported Entertainment Weekly.
Guillermin’s wife Mary called her husband “sensitive and passionate, full of a fierce rapture himself,” in a Facebook post.
Guillermin’s friend, Nick Redman of Twilight Time Movies, which released several of his films on DVD said, “He was a
tough man but a very charming man. He was every inch the Hollywood director, the Hollywood figure, but he had very such a European sensibility. “He was a very urbane person, and he made some great movies.”
