Bernardo Bertolucci of 'Last Tango' fame, dies in Rome

Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, whose 1972 movie "“Last Tango in Paris" shocked audiences with a notorious sex scene that came back to haunt him in his later years, died on Monday. Bertolucci, 77, died at his home in Rome after a long illness, his publicist said. He had been in bad health for years and confined to a wheelchair since the early 2000s following a back operation.
