Stuart Rosenberg, who directed such film classics as 1967's Cool Hand Luke (and my personal favorite) with Paul Newman and the prison drama Brubaker (1980), starring Robert Redford, died of a heart attack last week at his home in Beverly Hills. He was 79 years old.
He also directed the 1979 horror film, The Amityville Horror, that became a nationwide phenomenon, and spawned several pointless sequels....
Rosenberg also had a prolific career in television, helming 5 segments of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, 3 episodes of the original Twilight Zone, and 15 episodes of The Untouchables.
His final film was 1991's father/son drama My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
