Cher Lambasts ‘Mask’ Director Peter Bogdanovich As Misogynistic, A “Pig”: “So F—ing Arrogant”


Cher lambasted Peter Bogdanovich, detailing an acrimonious experience filming 1985's biographical drama 'Mask' with the director.

I’ve worked with Bob Altman, Mike Nichols, Norman Jewison … Really great directors whom I respect. The Oscar-nominated director of The Last Picture Show didn’t mince word s about Cher either, saying in a 2019 interview with Vulture that she was the most difficult actor to work with. Mask, also starring Sam Elliot, Eric Stoltz and Laura Dern, is based on the real life and early death of Roy L. “Rocky” Dennis, who had a rare genetic disorder called Lionitis, or craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, which causes calcium buildup in the skull, thus disfiguring facial features and shortening life expectancy.
