The Moviola Mavens and the Moguls: Three Pioneering Women Editors Who Had the Respect of Early Hollywood's Power-Brokers

Great article on the important female editors of early cinema: Margaret Booth (started as D.W. Griffith’s negative cutter and patcher), Barbara McLean (nominated for All About Eve) , and Anne Bauchens (the first woman to win an Academy Award for Editing for Cecil B. De Mille’s North West Mounted Police (1940).

I wish they could have included Dorothy Spencer who edited John Ford’s Stagecoach (1939) and Ernst Lubitsch’s To Be or Not to Be (1942).
