Zalman King dead at 69

[TroyTheAverage]

Zalman King, who directed 1990’s Wild Orchid and produced 1986’s 9 ½ Weeks, died Feb. 3. He was 69 years old. King, who was born Zalman Lefkovitz in Trenton, New Jersey, had bit parts in 1960s TV shows before segueing into directing and producing. His trademark was work with a strong, somewhat artistic, erotic content. His most successful films as a director were 1988’s Two Moon Junction and 1992’s Red Shoe Diaries, which went on to be a series on Showtime. His most recent credit was as the exec producer on Showtime’s Body Language.

Another sad day for Hollywood. He made some good movies (softcore porn as I like to call it) back in the day.

RIP

I used to love the Red Shoe Diaries (but then again who didn't). RIP.

I am pretty sure I masturbated to his movies more than any other directors movies.

Me too, if only because I don't know the name of the guy who directed birdie Grannies 16 off the top of my head.

Well I think that is a given Fuji.
