PRAGUE, Czech Republic: Oscar-winning Czech-born film director Milos Forman, known for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo´s Nest" and "Amadeus," has died aged 86, his agents told AFP on Saturday.
"I heard from (Forman's wife) Martina Forman very early this morning letting me know Milos passed away at Danbury Hospital near his home in Warren, Connecticut," his friend and agent Dennis Aspland said.
"I can confirm the news," added the director's Czech agent Radka Kadlecova, as Forman's official Facebook page displayed a black square in the place of his profile picture, complete with the dates of birth and death.
The Czech news agency CTK quoted Martina Forman as saying her husband died suddenly on Friday after a short illness. "He passed away quietly, surrounded by his family and his closest people," she said.
