Director of 'Superman' and 'The Goonies,' as well as the 'Lethal Weapon' series.
Steven Spielberg quote:
“Dick had such a powerful command of his movies, and was so gifted across so many genres. Being in his circle was akin to hanging out with your favorite coach, smartest professor, fiercest motivator, most endearing friend, staunchest ally, and — of course — the greatest Goonie of all.”

Richard Donner had the biggest, boomiest voice you could imagine. He commanded attention and he laughed like no man has ever laughed before. Dick was so much fun. What I perceived in him, as a 12 year old kid, is that he cared. I love how much he cared. - Goonies Never Say Die

Rest in Peace Richard Donner. Director of all 4 Lethal Weapons, Superman, Maverick, Conspiracy Theory, The Goonies and more.
In a statement to Deadline, Gibson said, “Donner! My friend, my mentor. Oh, the things I learned from him!
He undercut his own talent and greatness with a huge chunk of humility referring to himself as ‘merely a traffic cop.’ He left his ego at the door and required that of others. He was magnanimous of heart and soul, which he liberally gave to all who knew him.
If we piled up all the good deeds he did, it would stretch to some uncharted place in the firmament. I will sorely miss him, with all his mischievous wit and wisdom."
