Irvin Kershner

Film director and educator -- via the L.A. Times. He will be best remembered for his direction of the best movie in the Star Wars series -- "The Empire Strikes Back." Yet he made a lot of interesting films. Roger Corman gave him his start with "Stakeout on Dope Street" in 1958. He created the Western TV series "The Rebel." He made the silly "S*P*Y*S," the strange "Eyes of Laura Mars," and Connery's final Bond outing, "Never Say Never Again."
