Mark Corwin, Emmy Award-winning director of Wheel Of Fortune, died this morning in Los Angeles. He was 65. Corwin directed more than 2,000 episodes of the top-rated game show, and was beloved by staff and crew. "Mark made directing Wheel of Fortune look easy, and it's no simple task," Executive Producer Harry Friedman said. "He loved this show and understood that the viewers have a special bond with Wheel, which he never took for granted." Corwin began his career as a stage manager, then worked his way up to associate director on various NBC network shows, including Hollywood Squares. His other credits include Password Plus, The New High Rollers, Card Sharks and Jeopardy!
