Director Sidney Lumet, who helmed 12 Angry Men, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon and Network, died Saturday at his Manhattan home at age 86. According to his stepdaughter, the cause of death was lymphoma, reports the New York Times.
"RIP Sidney Lumet. Had the privilege of acting for him in Critical Care. Changed movies forever. One of the greatest," Tweeted actor/director Albert Brooks on Saturday.
Despite his long and storied filmmaking resume, Lumet never won a best director Oscar, although he was nominated four times. In 2005, he received an honorary Academy Award. His most recent film was the 2007 drama Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke
