Peter Bogdanovich, Oscar-nominated writer and director, has died at the age of 82.

Bogdanovich started his career as both a film programmer and a critic, writing articles for Esquire. After moving to Los Angeles and striking up a friendship with director Roger Corman, he secured his first directing gigs, making the sci-fi picture Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women, which he chose to have his name removed from, and in 1968 Targets, a breakout crime thriller. In this time he also became close friends with Orson Welles.

Bogdanovich is survived by his two children Antonia and Sashy.
