Nice catch

My old pal and former colleague Steve Simels finds an amusing example of the Old Grey Lady's...class bias? aesthetic hierarchical thinking? faulty fact checking?...in the New York Times obit for the late film editor Dede Allen. Check it out.

Funny, IMDb lists her first feature editing job as being the sex-ed film 'Because of Eve' from 1948, ten years before 'Terror From the Year 5000.' Guess that would fall under the commercial and industrial stuff she worked on in her early career?

Of course, 'The Story of Life' from which 'Because of Eve' is made, lists a 'Dale Allen' as editor, so it could just be another error by the IMDb. Anyone know?

WTF? Dede Allen died?

Fuck.

Imdb has 2 pages for Dede Allen, one of which contains only her "Self" credit for appearing in a supplemental doc on THE HUSTLER DVD. You'd think at least one genius over there might have noticed.
