Michael Winner, 77, Death Wish Director And Restaurant Critic
"In the course of a film career lasting 40 years, he made more than 30 pictures, among which were sharp social comedies such as The System (1963) and The Jokers (1966). But he derived his wealth and lasting reputation from later Hollywood hokum - notably the frenzied and graphically violent Death Wish series." Late in life, he became a notorious restaurant critic for London's Sunday Times. The Telegraph (UK) 01/21/13
