He was married to actress Peggy Mauer since 1955 and is survived by her, two children and four grand-children.
Film, stage and television director Arthur Penn, whose works include the 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde, has died at the age of 88, his friend and accountant said on Wednesday.
New York financial manager Evan Bell told Reuters that Penn, who earned three Oscar nominations for Bonnie and Clyde, The Miracle Worker and Alice's Restaurant, died on Tuesday night at his Manhattan home with his family at his side, the day after his 88th birthday.
Bell said Penn had been sick for about a year. He did not disclose the cause of death.
Penn also directed Little Big Man, won a Tony award for his Broadway production of The Miracle Worker, and worked with actors Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway and Gene Hackman throughout his long career.
His 1962 movie version of The Miracle Worker earned an Oscar for lead actress Anne Bancroft, and Estelle Parsons and Patty Duke also both won Oscars in movies Penn directed.
Born in Philadelphia, Penn studied at the famed Actor's Studio in New York, and began his career in television in the 1950s directing live dramas.
He later worked on Broadway and then went to Hollywood, turning the tale of two 1930s gangsters into the movie Bonnie and Clyde which marked a watershed in the portrayal of sex and violence on screen.
Penn followed up with Alice's Restaurant, the Native American epic Little Big Man starring Dustin Hoffman, and The Missouri Breaks with Marlon Brando.
In later life, he returned to television, working as executive producer on Law & Order and the TV series 100 Centre Street among other shows.
He was married to actress Peggy Mauer since 1955 and is survived by her, two children and four grand-children.
