In a 2011 interview, King noted that he knew from an early age that he was "going to go into show business." Toward that goal, after graduating from a Scranton public high school, he applied to New York City's Juilliard School, one of the premier performing arts conservatories in the country. Unfortunately, his family could not afford Juilliard's high tuition, and King instead attended the more affordable Mercyhurst University, a Catholic liberal arts college in Erie, Pennsylvania. Mercyhurst had a small theater program at the time, which King later learned to appreciate, explaining that he received invaluable personal attention from the faculty and was allowed to explore and grow his talent at his own pace. However, he left college after three years without graduating, driven, he said, by a desire to move to New York and "make it as an actor." In New York, King worked multiple jobs, such as waiting on tables and unloading buses at night, while studying acting during the day at the famed Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

  • March 28, 2001 (III:10) Notable Recent Job Has Been Playing Tony Soprano’S Psychiatrist’S Psychiatrist
    PETER BOGDANOVICH (30 July 1939, Kingston, New York, USA ) most March 28, 2001 (III:10) notable recent job has been playing Tony Soprano’s psychiatrist’s psychiatrist. “Many French cineasts and film critics went on to become major filmmakers, but in America only one such scholar made that transition: Peter Bogdanovich. This lifelong film buff wrote dozens of articles, books, and program notes about Hollywood before settling there in the mid 1960s. He fell in with producer Roger Corman, becoming a jack-of-all-trades on The Wild Angels (1966) and reworking a Russian sci-fi epic into Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1967). Bogd anov ich's first real film was the suspenseful Targets (1968), which he directed, produced, and cowrote with then-wife Polly Platt. After making a documentary, Directed by John Ford (1971), he directed the melancholy Larry McMurtry story The Last Picture Show (1971), which becam e a major critical and commercial hit…. “Celebrated as Hollywood's latest wunderkind, he made two more big hits: the screwball farce What's U p, Doc? (1972) and another period piece, Paper Moon (1973), which brought an Oscar to debuting Tatum O'Neal. Both films were very much dependent on references to earlier films and directors, but there was no denying his superb craftsmanship and assu red handling of actors. Bu t it was perceived that his relationship with Cybill Shepherd led to his undoing. Two Shepherd vehicles-Daisy Miller (1974) and At Long Last Love (1975)-were major stiffs, and the well-intentioned Nickelodeon (1976) was pronounced D.O.A.

  • Episode Five: Bogdanovich, the Misunderstood
    EPISODE FIVE: BOGDANOVICH, THE MISUNDERSTOOD BURT REYNOLDS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: We have a mutual friend of course, Peter Bogdanovich. ORSON WELLES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: That’s right. As a matter of fact, you have me to thank for the fact that you were asked to be in the picture that was probably the least successful of any of your past. BEN MANKIEWICZ: That’s Orson Welles and Burt Reynolds on The Tonight Show back in 1978. The most popular late-night talk show of all time. Regularly seen in more than seven million homes. Reynolds was a guest host, sitting in for Johnny Carson. Reynolds had been in Peter’s last two movies. Both flops. ORSON WELLES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: My feeling was that the picture needed you. BURT REYNOLDS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: No, it needed a lot more. BEN MANKIEWICZ: Burt Reynolds was really famous at this point. 1978 was the first of five consecutive years when he was the most bankable movie star in the country. Orson, of course, was a famous director and actor. And one of Peter’s closest friends. Burt’s jokes Peter could handle. The jokes from Orson devastated him. PETER BOGDANOVICH: Yeah, they'd said some unpleasant things about me. Yeah, I was watching it. I sent Orson a note the next day saying, I was watching, I tuned in to see what you thought, how you guys were doing. Something like that. BEN MANKIEWICZ: Peter is telling me this story late last summer - 41 years had passed. And it’s still hard for him.

The screening will be followed by an onstage conversation about his work. His visit is part of a two-day mini-tribute concentrating on his early films (see schedule below). “We’re thrilled to welcome Peter Bogdanovich to Columbus,” says Wexner Center film curator David Filipi. “He cuts a singular figure in postwar American cinema, and we’re pleased to be able to offer this special event for local and regional audiences.” Deeply versed in the history of Hollywood film, Bogdanovich emerged as a public figure beginning in the 1960s through a series of sympathetic and deeply informed studies and interviews with such legendary directors as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, and Allan Dwan, among others. This extraordinary alertness to the legacy of Hollywood Clockwise from top left: Peter Bogdanovich (image courtesy of Ace filmmaking hence informs his own work as a director, Photos); Cybill Shepherd in The Last joined to a rare sensitivity in his collaborations with Picture Show (image courtesy of Sony actors; he himself studied under the legendary Stella Pictures); and Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Adler in the 1950s, and, a gifted raconteur and actor, Streisand in What’s Up, Doc?
