Samuel Z. Arkoff (June 12, 1918 - September 16, 2001) was probably the original B-movie director, even though rumor has it that it was Roger Corman who came first. He founded American International Pictures in the late 1960s, and made dozens of films throughout the 1970s, starring well-known actors of today before they were famous back then. The list includes, Don Johnson and Nick Nolte in Return to Macon County in 1975. He also had his fair share of horror movies, including The Monster with 2 Heads . He died in 2001.
