British film director Alan Parker, author of classics like The Midnight Express , Evita or Fame , has died at the age of 76, a spokeswoman for the filmmaker reported on Friday.
The source explained in a statement sent on behalf of the family that Parker died after a "long illness."
Parker, the son of a working-class family in London's Islington neighborhood, began his audiovisual career away from theaters. Advertising was his first job behind the scenes. The trip to the cinema led him to make a stopover on television before, before debuting with Bugsy Malone , a delusional project that was, at the same time, a gangster story and a musical starring exclusively children (Jodie Foster was in the distribution). Despite the fact that the idea sounded extravagant, the film earned a name for Parker, who two years later found the most important story of his career.
