[Avid-L2] NYTimes article on female film editors

 

The editing room is where women have thrived, even if it has meant splicing, dicing and realizing the visions of directors who have been overwhelmingly male. In a 40-year career, the English editor Anne V. Coates has been nominated for the Academy Award five times, and won for “Lawrence of Arabia.” Carol Littleton has cut the likes of “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” and “The Big Chill,” as well as the current “Darling Companion.”

Thelma Schoonmaker, a seven-time Oscar nominee, is synonymous with the work of Martin Scorsese (including “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas”). And over a more than 50-year career, Dede Allen, who died in 2010, edited “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Serpico,” “Dog Day Afternoon” and “The Missouri Breaks,” all films that might be described, however glibly, as “boy movies.”
