From the archives: Roger Corman, "King of the B Movies"

Filmmaker Roger Corman, who was legendary for producing or directing hundreds of low-budget exploitation films and horror/sci-fi flicks, died May 9, 2024, at age 98. In this "Sunday Morning" profile that originally aired February 26, 2012, Corman talked with correspondent Mo Rocca about making films geared towards teenage audiences; creatively solving problems he couldn’t throw money at; and how his movies were a launching pad for such Hollywood A-listers as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Sandra Bullock.
