Sally JoAnne Menke (December 17, 1953 – September 27, 2010) was an American film editor, who worked in cinema and television.[1][2]
She had a long-time collaboration with director Quentin Tarantino, and edited all of his films until her tragic death. Menke was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing for Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds.
Early life
Menke was born in Mineola, New York. She attended and graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts Film Program in 1977.[3]
Career
Menke edited documentaries for CBS in her early career.[3] She received more film work in the 1990s, working on such films as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heaven & Earth and Mulholland Falls.[4][5]
Menke met Quentin Tarantino when he held interviews for an editor.[6] Tarantino sent her the script for Reservoir Dogs and she said that she thought it was "amazing".[6] Menke was hiking in Canada when she learned she got the job.[6] Menke continued working with Tarantino, editing eight films altogether.[6] Tarantino summarized their working relationship in 2007, saying that "The best collaborations are the director–editor teams, where they can finish each other's sentences", and that Menke was his "only, truly genuine collaborator".[7]
She was selected as a member of the American Cinema Editors.[8] On the Motion Picture Editors Guild 2012 listing of the 75 best-edited films of all time, Pulp Fiction was listed 18th.[9]
Personal life
Menke married director Dean Parisot in 1986 and the couple had two children, Lucas and Isabella.[1][3]
Death
Menke had gone hiking the morning of September 27, 2010, with a friend and her dog.[2] Menke's friend left her after an hour when she started to feel unwell in the heat. When Menke failed to come home, her friends alerted the police.[10] Search dogs, a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter, and officers from patrol units spent hours in Griffith Park searching for her.[11] Her locked car was found in a Griffith Park parking lot.[10] Menke's body was found at the bottom of a ravine near 5600 block of Green Oak Drive on September 28, 2010.[10] Her dog was found alive, sitting next to her body.[2][10][11][12] The coroner's office later determined that Menke's death was heat-related. It was 113 °F (45 °C) in downtown Los Angeles the day she died.[13]
Legacy
The Sundance Institute created a memorial fellowship in film editing to honor Menke.
