British filmmaker Ray Austin, perhaps best known for directing the softcore horror not-so-classic Virgin Witch (1972), passed away on may 17th at age 90.
Austin was very prolific as a director for various television series throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, in both the UK and the US. He basically did episodes for any TV-series that comes to mind from that period : The Saint, The Avengers, Black Beauty, Wonder Woman, The Love Boat, Quincy M.E., Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, The Fall Guy, Airwolf, The Master, V, and Highlander, to name but a few.

Terrific actor.. I understand it's fairly common for people to die when they're in their eighties, but still it makes me sad.
