Oscar-winning film editor Anne V. Coates, best known for her work on the 1962 epic “Lawrence of Arabia,” has died at 92.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts shared news of her death on Wednesday.
The English-born editor took home the Academy Award for Best Film Editing in 1963 for her work on the David Lean-directed desert odyssey. She was nominated for an Academy Award four more times in her career, for her work on “Becket” in 1964, David Lynch’s The Elephant Man” in 1980, “Out of Sight” in 1988, and “In the Line of Fire” in 1993.

We're so sad to learn that British film editor Anne V. Coates has died. During her incredible career, Anne was BAFTA-nominated four times for work including The Elephant Man and Erin Brockovich, and received the BAFTA Fellowship in 2007. She will be greatly missed. pic.twitter.com/O2rrtBcs99

Other notable credits include 1965’s “Young Cassidy,” 1968’s “The Bofors Fun” 1974’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2000’s “Erin Brockovich.” Most recently, she worked on 2015’s “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Coates was born in southeast England in 1925, and began her career editing short films for church tours. She later became an assistant film editor at London’s Pinewood Studios. Coates grabbed her first editing credit for “The Pickwick Papers” in 1952.

BAFTA awarded Coates with its Academy Fellowship, its highest honor, in 2007. Coates went on to become the second editor to ever win a career achievement award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association in early 2016. “In a way, I’ve never looked at myself as a woman in the business,” Coates told FilmSound.org in 2000. “I’ve just looked at myself as an editor. I mean, I’m sure I’ve been turned down because I’m a woman, but then other times I’ve been used because they wanted a woman editor. “I just think, ‘I’m an editor,’ and I never expected to get paid less because I was a woman. I grew up with three brothers, and I never thought I would get paid less for anything than they did.”

Coates was married for several years to director Douglas Hickox. She was survived by her three children, sons Anthony and James Hickox, and her daughter, Emma Hickox-Burford — all of which followed Coates into the film business.

The worst thing anyone's said to me? 'Sorry old boy, but you've got leukaemia'
Timothy Spall, 57, was born in London. After studying at Rada, he joined Birmingham Rep and the RSC before being cast in the hit TV series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet in 1983. His movies include Mike Leigh's Life Is Sweet and Secrets & Lies, and Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. He played Churchill in The King's Speech, Peter Taylor in The Damned United and Peter Pettigrew in the Harry Potter films. He is currently starring in PG Wodehouse's Blandings on BBC1. He is married with three children.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I have had a tendency to sleepwalk in the past. I once woke up in the nude in a corridor of a hotel in Cornwall in the small hours of the morning. Oh, the cringing shame.
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Wanting...

Following Tony Manero and Post Mortem, No completes a cool, ironic trilogy of films by Pablo Larraín about life in General Augusto Pinochet's Chile. The year is 1988 and after 15 years of Pinochet's dictatorship, the United States, which helped put him in power, has insisted he have a referendum on his presidency. The regime thinks a "Yes" response in a climate of increasing prosperity should be a shoo-in, while the left wing is all for boycotting what it regards as a window-dressing sham that would lead to more of the same.
But this witty, double-edged movie is no ordinary exercise in political cinema. It focuses on two men from the same prosperous Santiago advertising agency. The middle-aged head, Lucho Guzmán (Alfredo Castro), is a decent, complacent man who happens to be a senior figure on Pinochet's advisory council. His smartest employee, René Saavedra (Gael García Bernal), is a liberal whizz kid,...

'Cheeky cockney' character actor who graced British screens for more than 60 years
While working on the classic Ealing comedy Hue and Cry in 1947, the actor Harry Fowler, who has died aged 85, was given sage advice by one of his co-stars, Jack Warner: "Never turn anything down … stars come and go but as a character actor, you'll work until you're 90."
Fowler took the suggestion and proved its near veracity. Between his 1942 debut as Ern in Those Kids from Town until television appearances more than 60 years later, he notched up scores of feature films and innumerable TV shows, including three years as Corporal "Flogger" Hoskins in The Army Game.
He never attained star status but created a gallery of sparky characters, including minor villains, servicemen, reporters and tradesmen enriched by an ever-present cheeky smile and an authentic cockney accent. He was Smudge or Smiley, Nipper or Knocker, Bert or 'Orace, as...

There have been more than 400 film and TV adaptations so far, and counting, some brilliant, some memorably awful
The opening credits of BBC1's new three-part adaptation of Great Expectations (27-29 December) show a chrysalis cracking open to reveal a pair of trembling wings. A few seconds later this delicate emergence is replaced on screen by the escaped convict Magwitch (Ray Winstone) erupting from the stagnant waters of the Essex marshes. Covered in blood and slime, he is at once the monster of nightmares and a huge misshapen baby gasping its first breath.
In a single sequence, the director Brian Kirk gets to the heart of Dickens's novel as a fable of rebirth and renewal. Together with Sarah Phelps, the screenwriter, he has created a world in which characters are forever seeking to transform themselves – or each other. A spookily young Miss Havisham (Gillian Anderson), still cocooned in her tatty wedding dress,...
