Vale – Dede Allen

Wanted to quickly mention the passing of a Hollywood legend, editor Dede Allen, who died over the weekend after suferring a stroke.

Allen was responsible for editing some of the industry’s most enduring classics, including The Hustler (with Paul Newman), Bonnie & Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, The Breakfast Club, The Addams Family and Wonder Boys. Allen was nominated for an Oscar three times, for her work on Dog Day Afternoon, Reds, and Wonder Boys.

Dede Allen was 86.

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
