Veteran Hollywood musicals director Stanley Donen has died aged 94, according to US media reports.
The director was perhaps best known for the 1952 musical Singin' in the Rain, which he co-directed with its star Gene Kelly.
His other films included On the Town, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Funny Face.
The Chicago Tribune first reported Donen's death, citing one of his sons, Mark.
A former Broadway dancer, Donen moved into cinema as a choreographer, then as a director.
He translated his love for dance to the big screen with the help of Kelly and Fred Astaire. Singin' in the Rain was named the greatest movie musical of all time by the American Film Institute in 2006.
