Michael Cimino (February 3, 1939 – July 2, 2016) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and author. He achieved fame as the director of The Deer Hunter (1978), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and earned him Best Director. However, Cimino's reputation would be tarnished by his follow-up Heaven's Gate (1980), a critical failure that became one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time
