As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light.
I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.
I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.
I’m profoundly grateful for the love and support from my family and friends.
Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. And, while I have you, please remember to go vote. Because we are all in this together.
Love, Jeff

My heart is broken - my dear friend Peter is no longer with us in the physical form. I loved him and will miss him. What a wonderful artist. He’s left us with the gift of his incredible films and his insights on the filmmakers he so admired. I love you Peter.
May we dream together of the kind of world we’d like to live in & make these dreams come true through our actions. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! More @:

Our home has been severely damaged, but we are safe, and so thankful for that and for the first responders who are working tirelessly to save people. We are heartbroken over the loss of lives in our community. Your prayers and best wishes are most appreciated.
I’m sorry to hear that the brilliant novelist and sceenwriter Larry McMurty passed away. I got to know him a bit when I was cast in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, a movie that truly stands on its own.
I didn't take any pics while making the Last Picture Show, but here are some shots from the sequel Texasville, also written by Larry McMurtry. We made this movie 20 years after Picture Show - same cast, same director, Peter Bogdanovich.
Please be aware of fraud. There are folks out there on social media who are creating fake accounts, pretending to be me. My official accounts all have a blue verified check mark next to them.

I had a second run-in with COVID-19 last year. Thankfully, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the first go- around. But
#MyCOVIDReality
is that big crowds still make me nervous, so I try to keep my crew small when I can. If you’re immunocompromised, what’s your COVID reality?
I’m sorry to hear Junior Johnson has passed away. I have very fond memories of meeting him while shooting the Last American Hero, a movie based on a Tom Wolfe piece. My character was based on Junior. My heart goes out to his family and all those who loved him.
Hope you check out a new children's book, Lulu and the Hunger Monster by Erik Talkin. The book empowers both those kids who might need help & also their friends to build empathy, and create real world solutions together to face the monster called hunger.

- such great performances. Beautiful direction from Peter Farrelly. I really dug the movie. It’s heartwarming, entertaining, and thought provoking. Well worth your time.
I just heard my friend Allen Daviau died from Covid-19. I got to work with him on the movie, FEARLESS. He was such a sweet man & an incredible cinematographer. He brought so much to ‘the party'. We’ll miss him so.
Summer can be the hungriest time of year for kids who rely on school meals, but it doesn’t have to be. Congress needs to strengthen & modernize the summer meals program & they have the chance right now. Here's why it matters:

This is a very complicated case, man, you know a lotta ins, a lotta outs, lotta what-have-you’s. My buddy ‘Starman’ says it best, “You are a strange species. … You are at your very best when things are worst’. That gives me some peace of mind.

Saying his words were easy because they were so real, they felt natural and it showed on the screen. All of us who worked on that film knew that we were making something special. His writings brought out the gamut of emotions to all that were lucky to behold them.

Just heard Bill Richert is no longer with us.
What a wonderful time I had working with Bill, what a great environment he created for all of us to work in, well, to play in, really. His set was loose and joyful, a place where ideas were welcome and nurtured.
Been thinking about kids who rely on school lunches for their only nutrition of the day, who now can't get those lunches.
