The New York Times reported early Saturday that Lumet, a four time Oscar nominee, died of lymphoma, according to his daughter.
Lumet helmed countless big screen classics. His first film, "12 Angry Men," established him as a top director in 1957, while his 1970's hits "Serpico," "Murder on the Orient Express," "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Network" sealed his reputation as a screen legend.
While he never won an Oscar for films he directed, in 2005 he was awarded an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement.
Lumet worked with Hollywood's biggest names, including Henry Fonda, Al Pacino, Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Robert Duvall, and Faye Dunawa
