Written By: Philip Eno on 01/06/22 at 1:59 pm
Peter Bogdanovich, the US film director known for films such The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon has died aged 82, his agent confirmed on Thursday.
The New Yorker's work became synonymous with the New Hollywood of the 1970s.
His coming-of-age drama, 1971's The Last Picture Show, which he also co-wrote, earned him eight Oscar nominations including best director.
The film, set in a Texas town, had an ensemble cast of rising stars including Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd.

Beat me to the news and to the pun. Total surprise to wake up to. The only film I've ever seen of his is Mask.
RIP

Sorry to hear this. He was a prime mover of the brilliant "New Hollywood" era of the late 60s/early 70s. He was a bit on the pretentious side, but weren't they all.

most people now dont know what Paper Moon is or indeed about Tatum's Oscar record. tbf, Tatum's attempt to make a seventies political statement by wearing a child's tux hasn't helped there.

Actually, ten year old Tatum O'Neal wearing a male tuxedo at the Oscars in 1974 would fit right in with today's non-binary climate of things, so one could almost say she (or more likely her handlers) was "ahead of her time". But back then, they were probably just going for the "cute" factor.
