Platt (January 29, 1939 – July 27, 2011) was an American film producer,
production designer and screenwriter. She was the first woman accepted into the
Art Directors Guild, in 1971. In addition to her credited work, she was known as mentor (for which she was honored with
Women in Film Crystal Award) as well as an uncredited collaborator and networker. In the case of the latter, she is credited with contributing to the success of ex-husband and director
Peter Bogdanovich's early films; mentoring then, first-time director and writer
Cameron Crowe, and discovering actors including
Cybill Shepherd,
Tatum O'Neal,
Owen Wilson,
Luke Wilson and director
Wes Anderson. Platt also suggested that director
James L. Brooks meet artist and illustrator
Matt Groening. Their subsequent meeting eventually resulted in the satiric animated television series ''
The Simpsons''.
