Barbara McLean (November 16, 1903 – March 28, 1996) was an American film editor with 62 film credits. In the period Darryl F. Zanuck was dominant at the 20th Century Fox Studio, from the 1930s through the 1960s, McLean was the Studio's most conspicuous editor and ultimately the head of its editing department.〔 〕〔 Contains an extensive bibliography. Stempel interviewed McLean in 1970 for the American Film Institute; a copy of the transcript is archived at the Margaret Herrick (Library ) of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 〕〔The count of film credits is based on information retrieved from the webpage on February 1, 2009.〕 She won the 1944 Academy Award for Film Editing for the film ''Wilson''. She was nominated for the same award for six additional films, including the "classic", ''All About Eve'' (1950).〔 No webpage explicitly listing the nominees and awardees by category, etc., is maintained by the Academy. The Academy's search engine will generate a list of all nominations and winners for a specific award category (such as "editing") by entering the necessary range of dates.〕 Her total of seven nominations for editing during her career was only surpassed in 2012 by Michael Kahn. She had a notable collaboration with the director Henry King that extended over twenty-nine films, including ''Twelve O'Clock High'' (1949). Her impact was summarized by Adrian Dannatt in 1996: McLean was "a revered editor who perhaps single-handedly established women as vital creative figures in an otherwise patriarchal industry." ==Early life and career== McLean was born in Palisades Park, New Jersey; she was the daughter of Charles Pollut, who ran a film laboratory. As a child she worked on release prints from the adjacent studio of E. K. Lincoln, who was an early producer of films. No doubt the early experience in processing of film was helpful to McLean when she became an assistant film editor, but McLean later commented that her musical training as a child also was very important.〔 In 1924 she married J. Gordon McLean, who was a film projectionist and later, a cameraman. After marrying, the couple moved to Los Angeles, California. McLean found work as an assistant editor at First National Studio. She subsequently joined Twentieth Century Pictures, where initially, she assisted the editor Alan McNeil.〔〔 This article presents a slightly different version of McLean's early career, and the date of her first marriage, than Stempel's biography.〕 In 1933 she received her first editing credit for ''Gallant Lady'';〔 her work on ''Les Misérables'' (directed by Richard Boleslawski, 1935) was nominated for the Academy Award for Film Editing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barbara McLean」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
