Born today in 1934 was Gordon Parks Jr. - He only directed four films before his death in Kenya in a plane crash in 1979. He achieved cinematic immortality for his debut film SUPER FLY (1972), which along with SHAFT (1971) and SWEET SWEETBACKS BADASSSS SONG (1971) became one of the most emblematic of blaxploitation films. He followed this with THOMASINE & BUSHROD (1974), the enjoyable action/thriller THREE THE HARD WAY (1974), and the lesser AARON LOVES ANGELA (1975).
