Bernardo Bertolucci (1941-2018)

[Wellesnet]

Bernardo Bertolucci, whose epic “The Last Emperor” won nine Oscars and who influenced generations of filmmakers with other groundbreaking works such as “The Conformist” and “Last Tango in Paris, died on November 26, 2018. He was 77.

Some Welles connections noted by Massimiliano Studer: In the script for "The Other Side of the Wind," Betolucci is a party guest. Also, Paul Bowles, composer of "Too Much Johnson," has a role in "Il tè nel deserto" "(The Sheltering Sky)."
Joseph McBride noted that Welles paid a jocular tribute by having the Mr. Pister character irritably correct Norman Foster when he calls him "Bascolucci." McBride noted that Bertolucci attended the Hollywood Foreign Press luncheon tribute to Welles.
