Dig A Hole: Polly Platt, Production Designer, Producer, and Screenwriter
Mr. Marks: I did not agree with John at all. Like I said, Polly wanted both her and Peter to be equally acknowledged. In defending Peter, which you had the right to, you ended up minimizing Polly. With regards to your assertion that "relatively few mentioned her death," Polly's passing was acknowledged by the NY Times, the LA Times, the Associated Press, the NY Daily News, the BBC, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, etc. So don't give yourself so much credit. We didn't need your charity.— August 1, 2011 10 a.m.
Dig A Hole: Polly Platt, Production Designer, Producer, and Screenwriter
Mr. Marks: I have been a friend of Polly Platt's for many years. I also know her family well and I am certain that they would not be happy with your comment #2 above where you minimize her contributions to the film she made with Mr. Bogdanovich by comparing her to Henry Bumstead or Edith Head's work on Hitchcock's films. Polly helped discover and develop the stories for the films she made with Peter. She was involved with numerous aspects of those films that went beyond being Production Designer, including casting and editing. She was instrumental in casting Cybil Shepherd in "The Last Picture Show" and Tatum O'Neal for "Paper Moon." Polly once told me that she didn't ask for Producer credit at the time she made those films because it was doing the work well that mattered to her. Polly always hated getting sole credit in recent years, at Peter's expense, for the success of those films because she always felt it was her and Peter collaborating together that made them good. She wanted both her and Peter to be jointly acknowleged for the films they collabrated on, not just one person at the expense of the other. You have given Polly Platt's memory short shrift at a time when her family and friends are grieving over losing her and you have not helped during this sensitive time.— August 1, 2011 8:58 a.m.
