The first woman to take sole editing credit on a Hollywood feature.
She was Arthur Penn’s editor on six films including Bonnie & Clyde and Little Big Man. More recently she cut the The Breakfast Club, Henry & June and The Milagro Beanfield War. In the A.C.E. documentary, The Cutting Edge – Magic of Film Editing, she graciously credits her assistant Jerry Greenberg for the spectacular and disturbing final shootout of Bonnie & Clyde. “He simply put it together and I tightened it up, making very few changes”.
