Oscar-winning Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci has died at the age of 77. The filmmaker, who was best known for his films 'The Last Emperor' and 'Last Tango in Paris', passed away on Monday, November 26, in Rome, as reportedly confirmed by his publicist to The Guardian.
He reportedly lost his battle to cancer and succumbed to the illness. Bertolucci had been suffering from health issues even before the cancer spell hit him. After undergoing a herniated disc surgery in 2003, he was wheelchair-bound for well over a decade after the surgery left him unable to use his legs to walk.
