Various shots Robert Altman STORYLINE Robert Altman, the caustic and irreverent satirist behind 'M-A-S-H,' 'Nashville' and 'The Player' who made a career out of bucking Hollywood management and story conventions, died at a Los Angeles Hospital, his Sandcastle 5 Productions Company said Tuesday. He was 81. The director died Monday night (November 20), Joshua Astrachan, a producer at Altman's Sandcastle 5 Productions in New York City, told The Associated Press. The cause of death wasn't disclosed. A news release was expected later in the day, Astrachan said. A five-time Academy Award nominee for best director, most recently for 2001's 'Gosford Park,' he finally won a lifetime achievement Oscar in 2006. Altman had one of the most distinctive styles among modern filmmakers. He often employed huge ensemble casts, encouraged improvisation and overlapping dialogue and filmed scenes in long tracking shots that would flit from character to character. Perpetually in and out of favour with audiences and critics, Altman worked ceaselessly since his anti-war black comedy 'M-A-S-H' established his reputation in 1970, but he would go for years at a time directing obscure movies before roaring back with a hit. After a string of commercial duds including 'The Gingerbread Man' in 1998, 'Cookie's Fortune' in 1999 and 'Dr. T & the Women' in 2000, Altman took his all-American cynicism to Britain for 2001's 'Gosford Park.' A combination murder-mystery and class-war satire set among snobbish socialites and their servants on an English estate in the 1930s, 'Gosford Park' was Altman's biggest box-office success since 'M-A-S-H.' Besides best-director, 'Gosford Park' earned six other Oscar nominations, including best picture and best supporting actress for both Helen Mirren and Maggie Smith. It won the original-screenplay Oscar, and Altman took the best-director prize at the Golden Globes for 'Gosford Park. Altman's other best-director Oscar nominations came for 'M-A-S-H,' the country-music saga 'Nashville' from 1975, the movie-business satire 'The Player' from 1992 and the ensemble character study 'Short Cuts' from 1993. He also earned a best-picture nomination as producer of 'Nashville.' No director ever got more best-director nominations without winning a regular Oscar, though four other men, Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Clarence Brown and King Vidor, tied with Altman at five. Altman was a bomber pilot in World War II and studied engineering at the University of Missouri in Columbia before taking a job making industrial films in Kansas City. He moved into feature films with 'The Delinquents' in 1957, then worked largely in television through the mid 1960s, directing episodes of such series as 'Bonanza' and 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents.' Altman and his wife, Kathryn, had two sons, Robert and Matthew, and he had a daughter, Christine, and two other sons, Michael and Stephen, from two previous marriages.
