DA Pennebaker, the documentary-maker beloved for offering fans an inside look at Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour
of England, has died aged 94.

The “master of cinéma vérité” was renowned as a skilled documentarian who captured many historic
moments, from Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign (The War Room) to the original cast recording of
Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway musical Company.

Pennebaker died of natural causes on Thursday night at his home on Long Island, his son Frazer told The
Hollywood Reporter. He is survived by his wife, fellow documentarian Chris Hegedus, with whom he
worked for more than 30 years.
