Summary: While working as a studio script reader he became infuriated by the lack of credit he
got for his contribution so he began producing and then directing his own films. He saved money on crew by unloading the equipment himself, he saved money on cars by borrowing from lealerships for a test drive. A deal with American International Pictures gave him freedom to make films and keep making films, playing to a teen market that had gone largely untapped.
Keen to become a better director, Corman took an acting class, where he met a struggling
young actor named Jack Nicholson and gave him his first film role in 1958 The Cry Baby
Killer. After 9 films together Nicholson came to Corman with a script he’d been
developing with his friends, Peter Fonda – whom Corman had saved from becoming a family
movie star by casting him in The Wild Angels – and Dennis Hopper – the first victim
in Corman’s Queen of Blood. But American International wouldn’t accept Hopper as
director, so Corman missed out on what would have been the biggest success of his career,
and the three actors became the first graduates of Corman U – taking the lessons they had
learned under the master of the low budget filmmaking and ploughing them into their own
cut-price masterpiece, at the same time ensuring they would never have to work at that level
again
