Chuck Russell, the visionary director behind Jim Carrey’s legendary The Mask, has died at 74—unexpectedly, according to his family. Carrey hailed Russell as a creative force who turned chaotic shoots into joyful, timeless magic, calling the film one of his career highlights. Russell’s playful directing style, which included improv games on set, helped launch Cameron Diaz’s career and made The Mask a global smash. His legacy also includes A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Eraser, and he once called Carrey’s performance his “absolute best.” Though the cause remains private, Russell’s impact on film and crew will endure.
