Catherine Cyran, an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, producer and writer who began her career working under Roger Corman, passed away following a battle with cancer. She was 59 years old. Before emerging as director in the 1990s, Cyran established herself as a screenwriter, with credits on films such as 1990's 'Slumber Party Massacre III' and 'A Cry in the Wild', the 1990 adaptation of Gary Paulsen's novel 'Hatchet'. She made her feature film directorial debut with the 1993 sequel 'White Wolves: A Cry in the Wild II', for which she earned an Emmy nomination, reports Variety.

Like his peers of the French New Wave, Bogdanovich parlayed a career in film criticism and scholarship into directing.
