One of the American top and legendary film directors, Peter Bogdanovich has passed away.

His daughter Antonia Bogdanovich confirmed his passing.

The director of 1970s black-and-white classics like The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon’s death came as a shock to the world.

Reacting to his death, Francis Ford Coppola said in an email that: “Oh dear, a shock. I am devastated. He was a wonderful and great artist,” said

“I’ll never forget attending a premiere for The Last Picture Show. I remember at its end, the audience leaped up all around me bursting into applause lasting easily 15 minutes.

“I’ll never forget although I felt I had never myself experienced a reaction like that, that Peter and his film deserved it. May he sleep in bliss for eternity, enjoying the thrill of our applause forever.”

The director of Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro, also tweeted Thursday: “He was a dear friend and a champion of Cinema. He birthed masterpieces as a director and was a most genial human. He single-handedly interviewed and enshrined the lives and work of more classic filmmakers than almost anyone else in his generation.”
