RIP Jonathan Demme

New York City–Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme died here April 26 of cancer complications. He was 73.

Most people remember him as the director of such acclaimed films as “Silence of the Lambs,” “Philadelphia” and unquestionably the best rock ‘n’ roll concert film ever, “Stop Making Sense.”

But MSTies will recall his small part as one of the monster’s victims in the movie in episode 704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN.

Variety has the story.
