William Friedkin, the Oscar-winning director of ‘The French Connection’ and ‘The Exorcist’, passed away in Los Angeles on Monday, Variety reported. He was 87.
Dean of Chapman University Stephen Galloway, a close friend of Friedkin’s wife Sherry Lansing, confirmed his demise.
The Venice Film Festival will host the world premiere of his last movie, ‘The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,’ starring Kiefer Sutherland.
In the 1970s, Friedkin achieved A-list fame alongside Hal Ashby, Francis Ford Coppola, and Peter Bogdanovich as a member of a young, daring group of filmmakers.
Friedkin brought a lot of energy to the horror and police thriller genres, which he specialised in, by fusing his experience in television, particularly in documentary film, with a cutting-edge style of editing.
