5-TIME OSCAR NOMINEE PASSES AWAY DUE TO CORONAVIRUS COMPLICATIONS!

The cinematographer is known for his works with Steven Spielberg and Barry Levinson on films including E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Empire of the Sun and Bugsy amongst others. His death was announced by the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital, where he lived.

An emotional Spielberg said in a statement, “Allen was a wonderful artist but his warmth and humanity were as powerful as his lens. He was a singular talent and a beautiful human being.” May this departed soul rest in peace!
