Peter Bogdanovich, influential director of 'The Last Picture Show,' dies at 82
By the mid-1970s, Peter Bogdanovich was riding high in Hollywood with a string of critically acclaimed films and living in an estate with Cybill Shepherd, whom he’d nurtured to stardom in “The Last Picture Show.”
“The Last Picture Show” earned two 1972 Oscar nods for Bogdanovich, for director and for writing of a screenplay based on another medium, which he shared with author Larry McMurtry. The film also earned two trophies — supporting actor and actress — for Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman, respectively, plus an additional four nods. Among them was a best-picture nomination.Peter Bogdanovich has countless stories, and he tells them with the sort of flair you’d expect from a man who wears a neck scarf.
He began his career in the motion picture business programming films for New York’s Museum of Modern Art and writing about movies for Esquire before moving to Los Angeles in the late 1960s with his first wife, Polly Platt, and breaking into the industry for real.Bogdanovich would frequent the Whisky-A-Go-Go
Martin Scorsese noted in a statement to the Associated Press that Bogdanovich was “right there at the crossroads of the Old Hollywood and the New.”
