Peter Bogdanovich filmography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Bogdanovich (1939–2022) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, actor and film historian whose career spanned over fifty years.

Bogdanovich's directorial work includes The Last Picture Show (1971), What's Up, Doc? (1972), Paper Moon (1973), Saint Jack (1979), They All Laughed (1981), Mask (1985), Texasville (1990), Noises Off (1992), The Thing Called Love (1993), The Cat's Meow (2001), and She's Funny That Way (2014). He also directed numerous films and specials for television, as well as the documentary Directed by John Ford (1971) and the Tom Petty musical documentary Runnin' Down a Dream (2007).

As an actor, he is best known for his portrayal of Dr. Elliot Kupferberg in the series The Sopranos. Additionally, Bogdanovich has amassed a number of unproduced screenplays and projects over the years that were never made. Most of these are now housed in his archive in the Lilly Library at Indiana University Bloomington. As a film historian, Bogdanovich has provided scholarly commentaries and interviews for various classic films, occasionally accompanied by archival material such as audio recordings of himself and the directors when they were still alive.[1]
