Obituarary of the Week: Russ Meyer, dead at 82

Film producer-director Russ Meyer, the original raunchmeister, died at home last Saturday or pneumonia and Alzheimers.   (The AP obit in the NYT called it dementia, but I think they were just editorializing.)

Update

The NY Sun's usually excellent obituary section has come through with a very good obit for Russ Meyer written by Stephen Miller.   (If that link doesn't work for you, try this one.)

The NYT's Douglas Martin wrote a pretty interesting (though less revealing) obit as well.   (The NYT also runs a very creepy looking picture of Meyer from 1969.)
