Remembering Dede Allen with WNYC’s Sara Fishko
Film Editor Dede Allen, who worked on classic films like “The Hustler,” “Serpico,” and “Little Big Man,” has died at the age of 86 after suffering from a stroke. Starting as a messenger for Columbia Pictures as a young woman, Allen went on to become renowned for her work, and was the first editor to receive sole credit for a film: 1967’s Bonnie and Clyde. WNYC’s culture producer Sara Fishko, who was once a film editor herself, tells us more.
