Peter Bogdanovich, Oscar-Nominated Director and Champion of Hollywood's Golden Age, Dies at 82

[Ohio Joe]

Peter Bogdanovich, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last Picture Show whose career, which also included hits like What’s Up, Doc? and Paper Moon, put him on a path toward living up to the example of those like Orson Welles and John Ford he so lionized, has died. He was 82.

Bogdanovich died shortly after midnight Thursday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, his daughter Antonia Bogdanovich told The Hollywood Reporter.

“Well, you better GIT it.”

And later, she lights up a cig in the hotel room.

Tatum O’Neal totally deserved that Oscar. Stellar performances all around.

I have this on DVD. Time for a rewatch.

RIP to Mr. Bogdanovich.

Very close friend to the great John Ritter

5. He was always interesting

A brilliant film maker and interpreter of cinematic art. Right up there with Scorcese, even if he had a lower profile. A giant.
