RIP Peter Bogdanovich (July 30, 1939 – January 6, 2022), aged 82
You will be remembered as a legend

Peter's vocalizations of Orson Welles, Hitchcock, John Huston, etc., are absolutely spot-on! It's as if they were suddenly present at the interview. His passion for and absolute devotion to the art of motion pictures is plain for anyone to see!

MUCH credit must go to Ben Mankiewicz for being such a superb host, giving the talk such electrifying energy, responding with such humorous attentiveness, and never interrupting Bogdanovich's storytelling. Ben does after all hail from a legendary family, so it's no surprise he chats as an equal!

What a tremendous raconteur! Rest in Peace, Mr. Bogdanovich, you are a national treasure.

I can listen to Bogdanovich for hours. I think he's fascinating.

@amileoj9043 5 years ago

What Bogdanovich says here about the magic of film (in his excellent Jimmy Stewart voice)--that, when it works, you are "giving people little tiny pieces of time that they never forget"--can stand as a pretty good description of what he give us in these reminiscences too. What a delight.

Bogdanovich is a treasure of cinema. I love hearing what he has to say about anything. He has so many great and wonderfully told film anecdotes and insights.

RIP Mr. Bogdanovich
He was a very controversial figure in the world of cinema, however many of his works resonated with many audiences.

I was walking home one Friday evening in Santa Monica - traffic lights- 6th and Arizona, no nobody around and waiting to cross and a guy across the streets waiting to come my way and in a split second I sussed it was Peter and I said hello and said I had loved his book on Directors years before! My story

I never laugh so hard as when I watch Whats Up Doc. I also love She's Funny That Way- love the main actress who has that great accent. Peter had a special way of looking at human behavior which nobody else has. His work is fantastic.

@Timo-15 2 years ago

He is just SO funny. I've read all of his books (except his one on John Ford...which is very hard to get) and they are all great! RIp Peter Bogdanovich.

Bogdanovich is a masterful story teller re-telling stories told by masters. And what a great interviewer Ben Mankiewicz has become... he says the minimum. Just enough to keep the interview going along, seemingly effortlessly.
