Richard Rush, the writer, director and producer who earned two Oscar nominations for his work on the deliciously dark Peter O'Toole comedy The Stunt Man, has died.
He was 91. Rush died Thursday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, his wife, Claude, told The Hollywood Reporter. He demonstrated an incredible "will to live" and survived 18 years with a heart transplant, she noted.
Early in his career, Rush directed the youth-targeted flicks Hells Angels on Wheels (1967) and Psych-Out (1968) — both featuring a brash, young Jack Nicholson — and went on to helm and produce one of the first Hollywood buddy-cop comedies, Freebie and the Bean (1974).
