Mask is a 1985 drama film directed by Peter Bogdanovich starring Cher and Eric Stoltz. Sam Elliott, Dennis Burkley, and Laura Dern are featured in supporting roles. Cher received the 1985 Cannes Film Festival award for Best Actress.[1] The film is based on the life and early death of Roy L. Rocky Dennis, a boy who suffered from craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, an extremely rare disorder known commonly as lionitis due to the disfiguring cranial enlargements that it causes. Mask won the Academy Award for Best Makeup while Cher and Stoltz received Golden Globe nominations for their performances.

In the case of Cher, Eric Stoltz, and Peter Bogdanovich, the Oscar n"snubo" may well have been the result of lots of much-publicized finger-pointing following the 1985 release of Bogdanovich's real-life-inspired family drama Mask, the story of a biker mom (Cher) and her teenage son (Stoltz) suffering from the rare skull-deforming illness craniodiaphyseal dysplasia. The released $12m (approx. $24m today) film pitted Bogdanovich against distributor Universal, and Cher against Bogdanovich.
