Dino De Laurentiis Dead: Legendary Filmmaker Dies At 91

[redirish28]

NEW YORK — He was a small man who dreamed big, hit the highest heights and failed like few others.

Dino De Laurentiis was born to be a movie producer.

The Academy Award-winning legend of the Italian New Wave and producer of "Serpico" and "Barbarella" who helped revolutionize the way movies are bankrolled and helped personify the no-limits life of a cinematic king, died Wednesday night at the age of 91 in Beverly Hills.

...that did an absolutely hilarious spoof of him right after "King Kong" came out.

He was talking about the outrageous costs involved and started talking about "TWO
million dollars justa for that damn monkey's balls -- a million per eacha ball".
