Award-winning Hungarian cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs passed away at his home in Beverly Hills this past weekend at the age of 74. Kovacs, who lensed such films as Easy Rider, Paper Moon, Ghostbusters and Say Anything — as well as contributing photography to Close Encounters of the Third Kind — actually cut his teeth on early exploitation trash such as Mantis in Lace, Kiss Me Quick, The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill and my favorite, Ray Dennis Steckler‘s immortal The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies.
