Ace filmmaker Richard Donner, who was best known for helming the original Superman movie, has passed away at the age of 91. Donner’s production company confirmed the news of his demise and stated that the director breathed his last on Monday (July 5). Donner had played a pivotal role in delivering the most iconic movies to grace the big screens over the years, especially an incredible run of films from the late 70s throughout the 80s.

He was also known for the action franchise Lethal Weapon. Many celebrities, including director Edgar Wright, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and actor Ben Stiller, among others, took to social media to pay their respects to Donner.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
