“I'M NOT AN ANIMAL! I'M A HUMAN BEING!”As you may already know, we lost one of the great ones this year. In honor of David Lynch, we decided to go back to one of the earlier films in his career, The Elephant Man from 1980, starring John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, a critical and commercial success in what would have been David Lynch's second film and put a lot of eyes on his future, incredibly influential body of work. However, despite Lynch being Austin's favorite director of all time, he has never seen The Elephant Man! Well, on this episode, we fix that.The Elephant Man is not known to be an incredibly surreal film, but we discuss the various similarities and signature iconography Lynch can't help but include in all his films, including The Elephant Man. We talk about the use of dreams, the use of sound, and how his sense of humor shines through in a film that more linear than his other body of work.We also talk about how the film approaches the topic of how society treats an outcast with a deformity/disability. It's not uncommon for the Academy to pay attention to this genre of film, but something about The Elephant Man is very different. What might be contrived and cliche in other films feels deeply moving in this one. How does The Elephant Man stand out and distinguish itself from “Oscar bait“ films?We also talk about the way the film was made and how the film differs from the reality of life for Joseph Merrick, the real life person who lived with this condition that lead people to refer to him as The Elephant Man. How does David Lynch go from making a surrealist art film, Eraserhead, to a narratively linear biopic that tugs on the heart? How does comedy legend Mel Brooks go from making Blazing Saddles to producing The Elephant Man? How did a babysitter get her boyfriend nominated for an Oscar? How did this movie invent an entirely new category the Academy had to pay attention to? We talk about all of this and more!This episode was very special for us and took a little bit of time to brew. With the changes in technology one would think more films would be more accessible to view at our convenience, but in fact that not the case for some films that are culturally significant like The Elephant Man. As of recording the episode we couldn't find the film digitally streaming/renting anywhere, but with luck we did manage to find the film on DVD at a reasonable price. After watching the film we might actually spring for that premium Criterion Collection version, because this film really is that special. In fact, the late John Hurt said in the making of documentary “If anyone isn't moved by the end of the film, I don't think I'd want that person in my life.“ We hope you enjoy this episode and seek the film out yourself, or hit us up about a potential screening!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o
This week we continue our David Lynch season with his second film, 1980's "The Elephant Man."

We then dive into the plot of the film, exploring everything we love about this extremely empathetic film. Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44

On the latest episode of Criteria: The Catholic Film Podcast, Andrew Petiprin joins James and Thomas to discuss the late David Lynch's most uplifting film, The Elephant Man. The film is based on the real Victorian-era life of Joseph Merrick, a man who suffered terrible abuse because of his extreme deformities, yet whose human dignity was ultimately recognized and allowed to flourish by those who rescued him and cared for him with Christian compassion.

Episode 63 - Pack your bags as we are heading into the mind of David Lynch. This month we will be doing a 5 week deep dive into the filmography of David Lynch. Since David Lynch has 10 feature films to his name, we will be looking at 2 films per week, but with a main focus on one. We can't promise Pete will watch every one but he'll try. This week the main feature is Lynch's surreal debut film Eraserhead (1977). This is a polarizing film which leaves an impression, but what kind of impression depends on who you are. Where do we land on this? Tune in to find out. We also discuss Lynch's second feature The Elephant Man (1980). A very different film tonally, The Elephant Man is based on a true story of Joseph Merrick and was nominated for 8 Academy Awards. But both films are in black and white! Email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com Next week we dive into Dune (1984) and Blue Velvet (1986)
The life of Joseph Merrick, the man they dared to call "The Elephant Man", will fill you with pain and anger. He was treated so cruelly by society that he found becoming a freak show exhibit preferably to the life available to him elsewhere. Yet alongside darkness there is light and love in his story, and a sense of his own indomitable spirit throughout it all.Visit https://www.changingfaces.org.uk/ to learn more about living with visible difference today.Written by Anthony Delaney.

It's a monster mash on this fresh from the grave episode of DEATH BY DVD all about FRANKY AND HIS PALS, directed by Gerald Cormier. What is Franky And His Pals, you ask? Well, let us copy and paste the write up from the official Severinfilms.com website where this movie is available to purchase, because we are to lazy to write something up ourselves and theirs is way better : From the deepest, darkest depths of the shot-on-video vaults… Hidden from view for 30 years… All your favorite movie monsters are back… And they're ready to party like it's 1990! Franky, Drak, Wolfy, Mummy and Humper – the horny hunchback – descend on the tiny mining town of French Gulch in search of lost gold, but it's Halloween Night, and the monsters soon find themselves caught up in the debaucherous festivities of the local townsfolk. Will Franky and His Pals find the gold? Will they learn the ways of love? Will Drak quench his thirst for human blood? Just how explosive is Franky's flatulence? What's that Mad Scientist tinkering on out in his barn? What the hell is a pee-pee? And does any of it really matter? Directed by veteran grindhouse and adult film producer Gerald Cormier (TERROR CIRCUS a.k.a. BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD, 101 ACTS OF LOVE) and seldom-seen beyond the shelves of small-town video shops, this bizarro monster-comedy is finally being resurrected on DVD and is positively exploding with spooky Special Features!And since I copy and pasted all that from Severin, the least I can do is also add the link so you can buy the movie : TAP HERE FOR THE MOVIEDive into the monster mash with your host Harry-Scott Sullivan and kick back and relax with this hoot and an additional hollar of an episode.

Geldgeschichte(n): Louisiana Purchase & Joseph Merrick Im Rahmen unseres deutsch-österreichischen Verständigungsprojekts vereinen mein Bloggerkollege Clemens Faustenhammer und ich die zwei schönsten Nebensachen der Welt, nämlich Geld und Geschichte, miteinander und reisen dafür einmal monatlich zurück in unsere Finanz-Zukunft. In der 18. Folge der Geldgeschichten sprechen wir über den größten Immobiliendeal in der Menschheitsgeschichte, bevor wir in die Welt der Freakshows abtauchen und was uns diese über Geld und Moral lehren. Der geografische Hauptspielort dieser Geldgeschichte markiert gleichzeitig einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in der territorialen Expansion der heutigen „Supermacht“ USA. Nach einem zähen, jedoch schlussendlich erfolgreichen Unabhängigkeitskampfes gegen die vormaligen britischen Kolonialherrn, richtete sich der Blick der politischen Entscheidungsträger der erwartungsvollen jungen Nation gen Westen. Die natürliche Grenzlinie in dieses Sehnsuchtsland bildet der nahe der kanadischen Grenze entspringende, in den Golf von Mexiko mündende Mississippi-River. Nach einer verheerenden Niederlage gegen Großbritannien im Zuge des Siebenjährigen Krieges (1756 bis 1763), hatte das vermeintlich republikanische Frankreich im Geheimvertrag von San Ildefonso das sogenannte Louisiana-Territorium von Spanien zurückerworben. De facto währte die französische Besitzerschaft über das 2,2 Millionen Quadratkilometer große Gebiet aber nur drei Wochen. Warum diese kurze Episode ein jähes Ende fand, hing mit der gescheiterten Rückeroberung Frankreichs des rebellierenden Haiti zusammen. Dank eines Landerwerbs unvorstellbaren Ausmaßes wurde aus La Nouvelle-Orléans das spätere Jazz-Paradies New Orleans und aus Louisiane ging eine Vielzahl von Bundesstaaten der Vereinigten Staaten hervor. In der zweiten Geldgeschichte widmen wir uns der schaurig-faszinierenden Existenz und dem frühen Tod von Joseph Carey Merrick, bis heute besser bekannt als Elefantenmensch. Seine Biografie ist nicht nur ein sehr plakatives Beispiel in der prinzipiellen, durch Wille und Suche nach Sinn bestärkten Existenzbejahung, sondern auch ein hervorragendes Lehrstück über Geld und Moral sowie die behindernde bis zerstörerische Kraft, die öffentliche Institutionen gerade über die Ärmsten und Elendsten zu entfalten in der Lage sind. Geboren wurde Merrick am 05. August 1862 in Leicester, England. Bereits von Geburt an litt er unter einer, bis heute nicht genau diagnostizierten, genetischen Störung, die Haut, Gewebe und Knochen weit über das natürliche Maß wuchern ließ. Bereits als Kleinkind setzte eine Tumorbildung am Gesicht ein, die bis zu seinem Tod mit Ausnahme des linken Arms und des Genitalbereichs seinen ganzen Körper befallen sollte und ihn zum wohl deformiertesten, lebensfähigen Exemplar der menschlichen Gattung mutieren ließ. Er starb am 11. April 1890 im Alter von 27 Jahren durch Ersticken im Whitechapel Hospital.

The life of Joseph Merrick, the man they dared to call "The Elephant Man", will fill you with pain and anger. He was treated so cruelly by society that he found becoming a freak show exhibit preferably to the life available to him elsewhere. Yet alongside darkness there is light and love in his story, and a sense of his own indomitable spirit throughout it all.Visit https://www.changingfaces.org.uk/ to learn more about living with visible difference today.Written by Anthony Delaney.

Fino a quasi tutto l'800, si credeva che le caratteristiche di qualcuno o di qualcosa che avesse impressionato la madre durante la gravidanza si trasmettessero alla creatura nel grembo. Così si dava una spiegazione alla nascita di bambini con un aspetto anomalo. Il mostro, il prodigio, il mutante, è la rottura dell'ordine naturale delle cose, è un evento straordinario che attira e repelle, seduce e intimorisce. Ma i mutanti sono anche l'eccezione che svela la regola. La scienza studia queste eccezioni per comprendere i meccanismi dell'evoluzione e dello sviluppo dell'essere vivente.

„Napůl člověk a napůl slon!“ stálo na plakátech, které upozorňovaly na raritu kočovného panoptika, které předvádělo „Sloního muže“. Jeho pravé jméno bylo Joseph Merrick. Zemřel 11. dubna 1890. Merrick měl těžce zdeformované tělo, zvětšené rty, přední zuby mu rostly dopředu, místo dolů, pravou paži měl enormně zbytnělou, stejně tak měl znetvořené nohy, na některých místech těla zlustělou kůži, která na něm visela a na čele měl obrovskou vypouklinu.Všechny díly podcastu Příběhy z kalendáře můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

La vie de Joseph Merrick, que ses difformités ont fait surnommer, de son vivant, "Elephant man", a inspiré au cinéaste David Lynch un film devenu aujourd'hui un classique.Né en 1862 à Leicester, en Angleterre, Joseph Merrick est d'abord un enfant normal. Puis, un peu avant deux ans, sa bouche commence à se déformer. Quelques années plus tard, une chute le rend boiteux.Peu à peu, des excroissances modifient son visage au point de le rendre méconnaissable et de lui donner une vague ressemblance avec l'animal qui lui vaudra son surnom. L'une de ses mains se déforme aussi, devenant beaucoup plus grosse que l'autre.La peau, devenue rugueuse, subit également de nombreuses déformations.Exposé aux moqueries des autres enfants et aux cruelles railleries de sa belle-mère, le jeune Joseph s'échappe du domicile paternel vers l'âge de 15 ans. Il avait déjà quitté l'école et trouvé du travail dans une fabrique de cigares.Car l'adolescent, dont les difformités n'entamaient nullement l'intelligence, était capable de travailler. Il vend ensuite des articles de mercerie, mais ses clients sont souvent révulsés par son aspect.En 1879, il est admis dans un hospice, où les conditions de vie ne sont guère différentes de celles d'une prison. Il finit par s'enfuir et rejoint alors un cirque itinérant, où on l'exhibe comme une bête de foire.Mais son cas finit par émouvoir un directeur d'hôpital qui, avec le soutien de la Reine Victoria, le fait admettre, comme résident permanent, à l'hôpital de Londres. Il y meurt le 11 avril 1890, probablement pour avoir voulu dormir allongé.En effet, du fait du poids de sa tête déformée, il ne pouvait dormir qu'assis. Dans la position allongée, le poids de la tête a dû étouffer le malheureux.Joseph Merrick souffrait probablement du syndrome de Protée, une maladie génétique se manifestant par l'apparition de malformations de grande taille affectant la peau ou les os.Sa mère ayant été bousculée par un éléphant, dans une parade de cirque, on pensait, à l'époque, que cet incident était à l'origine des difformités de l'enfant.

When Lizzie posted on Facebook that she hasn't been able to weigh herself for years, including through three pregnancies, it sparked our interest about access to scales. Gillian also told us she's been trying to keep check of her weight during a health kick but it's been 22 years since she was last able to get on scales. And Dr Georgie Budd offers some thoughts and suggestions around this dilemma. We talk emotional support animals after an incident in Florida where one particularly scary example was banned from a ball game. And the cruelly named Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick, is depicted on stage like never before courtesy of young actor Zak Ford-Williams who has cerebral palsy but doesn't use prosthetics or alter his facial appearance.

The absurdist dark comedy is a crowd favourite and the winner of the Adelaide Fringe 2023 Critics' Circle Award. However, its carefree gags have ruffled many feathers in politically correct circles, so much so that one activist asked that the public boycott the show or demand refunds for tickets already purchased.

This week, we take a break from the dense alchemy to consider how these concepts are applied in human life, namely in the life of one of history's most peculiar and tragic characters: Joseph Merrick aka The Elephant Man. Many are aware of the man's namesake and the rumor that Michael Jackson purchased his bones (Jackson was interested but never actually got them), but lesser known are the truly heartbreaking and inspiring bits and pieces that made up Merrick's life before he died at 27. Born with a disease that no scientist can seem to completely agree upon (and likely a combination of a few of them to make this once-in-history character) the Elephant Man couldn't smile, couldn't whistle, couldn't sleep laying down, wasn't smiled at by a woman until his late 20's, and couldn't show his face without being absolutely terrified and/or disgusted by literally everyone who saw him. Yet he never let it break him -- he was always a gentle soul, looking to love and be loved. His parents had abandoned him to a worker's camp, and even the doctor who proved to be his salvation was initially baffled to find that he wasn't mentally-handicapped. As Dr. Treves came to learn, Merrick actually had a vibrant intellectual imagination, he could read and write, and had a passion for the Bible, often contemplating his own existence and the existence of others. So often the Elephant Man lived in his own mystical imagination, like a warlock incapable of human contact, and yet somehow knowing so much more about it than we could ever grasp. Before the saving grace of the kindly doctor, Merrick had been touted around Europe as a PT-Barnum-style "sideshow freak", being shown to cultures so horrified that his public display was quickly outlawed anywhere he went. All of this, and yet some-fucking-how, Joseph Merrick was able to turn it all around and even be quoted at the end of his life saying that he was happy every moment of the day.

Bienvenue dans True Story ! Découvrez un homme à l'apparence unique au monde. Horriblement difforme, il a déclenché des vagues de dégoût et de fascination en Angleterre, à la fin du 19ème siècle. Mais sa vie entière et les choix qu'il a dû faire pour survivre sont une véritable leçon d'humanité. Son nom : Joseph Merrick, surnommé Elephant Man. De son enfance terriblement difficile à sa fin tragique, en passant par ses heures de gloire en tant que monstre de foire, découvrez sa True Story. Décembre 1884. Dans le quartier de Whitechapel, en face de l'hôpital royal de Londres, une petite boutique attend le coucher du soleil pour ouvrir ses portes au public. Dehors, il fait très froid. La chaussée est gelée, et un vent glacial souffle sur la capitale. D'ordinaire, par une fin de journée d'hiver comme celle-ci, seules quelques calèches et vagabonds de passage s'aventurent dans les rues. Mais ce soir-là, une véritable foule de curieux patiente sur le trottoir : des ouvriers, des ménagères, mais aussi des bourgeois et même… des étudiants en médecine.

On this episode we are talking about the Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick and his disease which caused him so many deformities, so many which also hindered him from being able to talk or eat very well. He ended up in a circus side show where he was ridiculed and teased unimaginably. This poor boy who barley became a man died at the ripe old age of 29 in 1890. He was considered a disgusting human being and was sent to live in a state home after his real mother died. In this day and age, we would be more understanding but at this time he was seen as a nuisance and a troubled boy. We also talk about a bunch of crap that doesn't matter so enjoy!
It will come as no surprise that in the late 19th century, people who had any kind of disability were treated differently. Those who had health conditions or impairments often faced social ostracization, couldn't get jobs and often found themselves down and out without any prospects, and in a cut throat Victorian oppressive society, this meant that life could be a very uncomfortable ride.But, for one man, he used the public fascination in his disability to his advantage to make a living, but sadly his story descended into a raw and tragic tale of Victorian exploitation, one which would end in an untimely death.Today on Macabre London, we'll be uncovering the tale of Joseph Merrick, The Elephant man.

Proteo es un dios del mar de la mitología griega cuyo nombre significa “el primero” o “el primogénito”. Se dice que podía predecir el futuro, pero sus servicios no estaban al alcance de todos; de hecho, cambiaba de forma constantemente para evitar a quienes buscaban su sabiduría. A Proteo no le gustaba demasiado su “trabajo”. Y quién demandaba su talento, debía ganárselo. El dios Proteo, también, da nombre a una rara enfermedad congénita conocida como el Síndrome de Proteo que, aunque fue identificada en 1979, el primer caso documentado data del siglo XIX. Un caso tristemente célebre en el mundo entero: el de Joseph Merrick, conocido como el "El hombre elefante”, que falleció el 11 de abril de 1890.

El Hombre Elefante es uno de los personajes más carismáticos del siglo XIX. Joseph Merrick que era su verdadero nombre, se hizo muy popular en el año 1981 por la película en el que se proyectaba su lado más humano e intelectual. Él es el protagonista del cronovisor de Jesús Callejo. Seguimos con Sandra Ferrer, periodista que acaba de publicar La revolución de las invisibles (Ed. Principal 2022). En él se nos habla de la historia de las mujeres que hicieron historia pero que por desgracia han quedado olvidadas o en un segundo plano. Tenemos una nueva entrega de la historia de la ciencia con José Francisco Sanz Requena quien nos habla de Pascal en su sección el Blues de la Ciencia. Acabamos con Alejandro Quiroga, quien acaba de publicar la biografía Miguel Primo de Rivera. Dictadura, populismo y nación (Crítica 2022)
Joseph Merrick se hizo muy popular en la década de 1980 por la película que lo presentaba como El Hombre Elefante. Este joven inglés de finales del siglo XIX a pesar de sus inicios circenses, al final consiguió a duras penas hacerse un hueco en la sociedad londinense de la época. Él es el protagonista del cronovisor de Jesús Callejo
Friendship is a close bond with another person that is less than a romance and more than an acquaintance. However deep a friendship goes, there remains the unspoken understanding that the other person adds value to the other's life, that the person is a blessing not to be taken for granted. Though many friendships fade away, there are those that stand the test of time. Such was the case with the friendship between Sir Frederick Treves and Joseph Merrick. In this episode, we'll tell the story of how even though the two men could not have been more different, their bond left a legacy that quietly lives on to this day. Hosted by Scott Einig. This story was originally featured in our S2, E7 bonus episode.
Joseph Merrick was sadly born in a time before modern medicine, born into a world where people with deformities were forced to either live life in the shadows or put themselves on display as a novelty, as freaks. Joseph chose the latter. He never received a proper diagnosis for his illness, that caused him to form growths and tumours all over his body, and still to this day scientists can't answer the question fro certain. What was it that the Elephant Man suffered with?

Christine Blackburn is not only the guest for this episode, but also the gracious host as we recorded at her kitchen table in Los Feliz, California. Christine is the host of the long-running and much-loved podcast, Story Worthy - and it's live show counterpart, Story Smash. 00:01:53 - Thanks for being here. We've shared a joint… you're holding a cat. No two women have been more prepared. Dawn introduces Christine. Her podcast, Story Worthy has had over 725 episodes, running 12 years. 00:04:04 - Dawn and Christine commence fucking the history of FREAKS! Dawn asks Christine why the subject interests her and she said that it is the combination from the performers themselves of joy and laughter (sometimes) along with their deformities and apparent suffering. 00:06:04 - Dawn presents her primary source of information regarding Joseph Merrick and much of the Freak Show culture in Europe in the 1880's. The True History of the Elephant Man by Michael Howells and Peter Ford00:06:43 - We take a moment to discuss the word, “Freak”. It's modern usage appears to arise in 1847 in reference to a ‘freak of nature' a malformed member of a species. Annie Jones - an early and famous 'bearded lady' - did take vocal objection to the word but seems to be an outlier. 00:08:32 - Dawn commences The Story of The Elephant man, Joseph Merrick. How he came to meet Dr. Treeves and how he became more than just a 'freak' but a cultural icon featured in theater, film, and music over many decades.00:13:57 - Dawn asks Christine: Do you think Freak Shows are good or bad? Dawn compares it as 'a living' to sex work and child labor (in so far as we discuss it today with minor athletes and artists). We can't really evaluate how 'good or bad' it is until we know how emancipated the individual who is doing it is. Are they empowered or exploited? Are they making this choice freely and being compensated fairly? ...then we may not need to worry how 'happy' they are with their work any more than we do with anyone else. 00:19:13 - There were several so-called 'freaks' who made good as freak show performers over the years leading up to Joseph Merrick, and he would have been aware that displaying himself was a fair alternative to poverty. For example:00:19:40 - Lazarus and Joannes Baptista Colloredo: Conjoined twins from 17th Century Europe.00:21:21 - Matthew Buckinger. No hands, no feet - he's known for his micograhy. 4 marriages, 14 children (at least) by 8 different women... probably because he was an excellent listener.00:22:48 - They come back to Joseph Merrick. Not only his life up to meeting Dr. Treeves (spoiler alert, there is an honest-to-goodness wicked step mother) but up to his death. A beautiful death, if ever such a thing were possible. 00:34:49 - Having heard his story, Christine has some questions: Did they ever pitch him as psychic? No, Dawn says, what was amazing about him was his normalcy. The dichotomy of his look to his being. Tom Norman sold him as amazing to look at, and more amazing because he's just like us. BREAK00:39:53 - Dawn thanks Christine for sharing her dope and providing the 'OPP' that was so celebrated at the top of the show. She also introduces our modern-day freaks like some of the cast of American Horror Story - season 4.00:42:38 - Christine shares a story from her time at a ski resort in Colorado "back in the day." The premise is that wealth is great... but sometimes you get a perfect day for free.00:43:14 - Dawn begins her list of FILF'S - Freaks I'd Like to Fuck (with consent, of course). The first - a featured performer from the classic 1932 film FEAKS: Schlitzie Surtese. The Pinhead. 00:46:00 - The 'Siamese' Twins. Chang and Eng Bunker.00:48:16 - Frank Lentini, the 3-legged man. He has 3 fully-functioning legs. Full set of fully-functioning genitals. “Very well-liked. Dawn and Christine discuss how that act would go. Christine is against it, Dawn thinks it could have its advantages.00:49:51 - Ella Harper, The Camel Girl. The first Merch Success Story.00:52:37 - Prince Randian - The Living Torso. No arms, no legs - he could roll a cigarette, could play virtually every instrument, spoke 5 languages, had 5 kids and was brought to the circus by PT Barnum, and made a fortune. Died a very old, wealthy man. Christine and Dawn discuss a variety of tangents before signing off, including what our particular act would be in our own sideshow...THANK YOU - listener - for tuning in and reading this far. We appreciate you and thank you and can't wait to see you next time. When we do it will be for COLONIAL COCKTAILS with RASHID GREEN one of the hosts of THE BARLESS TENDER.In the meantime...Please leave us a review!And follow us on Instagram!
Bogdanovich has claimed that the early months of 1980 were the happiest time of his life. He was in emphatic, unequivocal love with Playboy model Dorothy Stratten, and she was equally in love with him. Their blissful romance led to Bogdanovich dreaming up his next film, They All Laughed. Weaving together his affections for Stratten, the ongoing dissolution of her current marriage, and the recent affair shared by stars Ben Gazzara and Audrey Hepburn on their previous film together, Bogdanovich penned the most sincere expression of love he could, and set it against the swooning backdrop of New York City in the spring. Watching the film, it's evident the director was floating on cloud nine during its production, which only makes the dark aftermath of its construction all the more tragic. On August 13th, 1980, Dorothy Stratten was murdered by her estranged husband during a meeting about their divorce at his rented home in Los Angelos, before then taking his own life with the same gun shortly therafter. Upon hearing the news, Bogdanovich's life instantly fell apart, with many years of distraught grief and exceedingly poor life choices to follow. Just as his life and career were reaching a concurrent high, everything came crashing down. No studio was willing to touch They All Laughed in the wake of Stratten's death, and so Bogdanovich dug himself into debt buying the rights to the film and attempted to distribute it himself. Unsurprisingly, this did not go well. The film desperately floundered at the box office and Bogdanovich was forced to declare bankruptcy. The failure of They All Laughed, alongside a number of other auteur-driven flops at the same time, proved to be the final nail in the coffin of the New Hollywood renaissance of director-driven studio productions. Fortunately, the film has regained some traction thanks to a new generation of Hollywood auteurs, with the likes of Quinten Tarantino and Wes Anderson championing it as a masterwork in recent decades. Another hiatus followed suit, but by 1985 Bogdanovich was back at it, both because he needed to pick up the pieces and because he needed the money. When they were together, Dorothy expressed particular interest in the story of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man. Bogdanovich pieced together her identification with him as an object of public attention, subjugated for their extreme looks – one radiant, the other malformed. This is what inspired Bogdanovich to make Mask, a biographical story of the similarly-stricken Rocky Dennis, and his struggle to live a normal life with a debilitating facial deformity. Mask was one of Bogdanovich's most successful films to date, being a big hit with both audiences and critics, as well as snagging some much-deserved awards for leading actress Cher at Cannes, as well an Academy Award for the incredible makeup effects used to believably transform Eric Stoltz into the afflicted young boy. Still strapped for cash (seriously, do not try to self-distribute your own movies), Bogdanovich was still operating as a director for hire. He found himself under the auspices of the rather notorious Dino De Laurentiis, whom Bogdanovich would later blame for the unmitigated failure of Illegally Yours. With a title tipping its name to a Preston Sturges classic, Bogdanovich was set to make a contemporary screwball comedy for the ‘80s in the same way he did in 1973 with What's Up, Doc? The commercial appeal of leading man Rob Lowe seemed to assure a hit, but a forced rewrite of the script and a hacked-up editing job seems to have ruined the picture's chances for success, and caused Bogdanovich enough grief to proclaim it as the worst film he ever made. In 1987 author Larry McMurty penned a follow-up novel to the beloved The Last Picture Show. Bogdanovich was then naturally in talks to direct the film adaptation of the story set some thirty years after the captivating narrative he first brought to theaters sixteen years earlier. Texasville reunited most of the original cast, including Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd, who began as mere aspirants in Picture Show but were now bonafide stars. The story swaps its deconstruction of youthful angst for the mature interests of middle-aged malaise, investigating how the reverberations of the past reflect upon and impact the present. But without the same haunting cinematography and sense of place, not to mention the confidence of the studio behind him, Bogdanovich's film faltered yet again at the box office. It was a sad reminder of how the young protégé of Orson Welles, whose second feature was once heralded alongside the mighty Citizen Kane, had, much like the great director himself, fallen from the public's graces. No longer did his name command the same capital as once before, having only further ruined his reputation by constantly fighting with the studios in a vain attempt to regain his creative integrity.
