Oscar-winning filmmaker Robert Benton helped reset Hollywood's rules to co-creator of "Bonnie and Clyde," which later gained mainstream verification, died at the age of 92 as writers of "Kramer vs. Kramer vs. Kramer" and "Places in the Places."

Benton's son John Benton said he died on Sunday at his Manhattan home for his "natural cause."

In a 40-year screen career, Texas natives have received six Oscar nominations and won three times: Writing and directing "Kramer vs. Kramer" and writing "The Place in the Heart." He is widely appreciated by the actor's attention and trust and is directed by Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep and Sally Field. Although severe dyslexia caused him to read more than a few books at a time as a child, he wrote and directed the film adaptation of the novel in novels by Philip Roth, El Doctorow and Richard Russo.

Benton was the artistic director of Esquire Magazine in the early 1960s, and his love for French New Wave films and stories of old gangsters—and it was reported that a friend got $25,000 for Doris Doris’ script and inspired him and Esquire’s editor David Newman, for Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman inspired Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman about Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman about Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman inspired Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman about Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman about Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker and Protototsys receles the 19600s receles the David Newman inspired Robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie in the Depressed Age Parker's treatment.

Their project took years to complete, as Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard were among the directors who rejected them in a movie Warren Beatty agreed to produce and star. "Bonnie and Clyde," directed by Arthur Penn and starring Beatty and Faye Dunaway, overcame the initial critical resistance of 1967, defeated the film's shocking violence, and became one of the touch stones of the culture of the 1960s and the beginning of a more open and creative era in Hollywood.

Benton and Newman’s original story is even more bold: they made Clyde Barrow bisexual and formed a tee relationship with Bonnie and his male vacation driver. Both Beatty and Penn are resisted, while Barrow is portrayed as powerless, uncredible Robert Towne makes many other changes to the script. "Honestly, I don't know who 'Auteur' of 'Bonnie and Clyde' is," Benton later told Mark Harris, author of "The Revolution Pictures", the book about 'Bonnie and Clyde," and four other films from 1967.

For the next decade, Benton's films weren't close to the influence of "Bonnie and Clyde," though he continued to achieve critical and commercial success. His writing credits include "Superman" and "What's wrong, Doc?" He directed and co-wrote carefully examined works such as "Bad Company," a Westerner featuring Jeff Bridges, and The Late Show, a melancholy comedy for which his script was nominated for Oscar.

In 1979, his adaptation of Avery Corman's novel Kramer and Kramer, tells a self-absorbing advertising executive who became his youngest son's loving parents after his wife walked out, just to let her return and demand custody. Starring Hoffman and Streep, the film was praised for changing family roles and keen, emotional portraits of expectations, and won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Hoffman was ruthless with the film business at the time, and he would quote the guidance from "Cramer vs. Cramer" and Benson to restore his love for film performance.

Five years later, Benton returned to the Oscars with a more personal film, Plote In The Heart, where he wrote family stories and childhood memories in a 1930s drama starring the mother of two in Texas who struggled to stick to his land after his husband was killed.

"I think when I saw it all blended together, I was surprised by my romantic view of the past," Benton told the Associated Press in 1984, adding that the film was a part of a tribute to his mother, who died shortly before the release of "Cramer & Cramer."

Benton was born outside Dallas in Waxahachie, Texas. He owed his early love for the film to his father, Ellery Douglass Benton, a telephone company employee, and instead of asking about homework, he brought his family to the picture. Elder Benton will also share memories of attending funerals at Barrow and Parker, Texas, who grew up in the Dallas area.

Robert Benton studied at the University of Texas and Columbia University, and then served in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956. Benton helped win the magazine’s long-standing questionable achievement award and dated Gloria Steinem, then got the staff with the help of Humor! He married artist Sallie Rendigs in 1964. They have a son.

Betton often endured a long dry spell between hits. His latter films include the disappointing thriller Billy Bathgate, Human Stain and Twilight. He had even greater success in a 1994 release of The No Man's Fool, starring Paul Newman, and in his last Oscar-nominated performance, he was a small town troublemaker in upstate New York. Benton's film is based on Russo's novel and is nominated for the best adaptation of script.

“When the Academy Awards nomination was nominated, I asked me once, I was nominated, ‘What is the great thing about the Academy Awards?’” Benton told Venice Magazine in 1998. "I said, when you were in the awards, you attended the awards, you saw some people, some people dealing with some of them, some people have some close friends with you, you are already over ten years old, some people, some people, this is your two-day family, this is your family, this is your family, this is your family.''This is my life."
