Sally Menke, 56, Dies Tragically Yesterday

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Terrible news out of LA today. I couldn't believe my eyes reading this story!


"Sally Menke, the editor who cut all of Quentin Tarantino’s films, was found dead this morning. She had disappeared while hiking yesterday, and an extensive search of Griffith Park was undertaken by police after friends reported her missing. Her body was found at the bottom of a ravine in Beachwood Canyon. While the exact circumstances of her death have yet to be revealed, there is the supposition that the extreme, record-setting heat yesterday in Los Angeles played a part in her fate.

Sally Menke was Quentin Tarantino’s closest and most consistent collaborator, having worked on every one of his films from Reservoir Dogs through Inglourious Basterds. She was nominated for Oscars for her work on the latter and on Pulp Fiction."

She will be greatly missed!!

The turn of life and death, we just never know when times comes, for this must we enjoy every moment of our lives, trust me I know, have already almost gone several times.

Very sorry to hear and this is a Real Loss for Hollywood and the Arts.

Riposa in Pace.

Yes sad to say the least. Behind every great director stands a great... editor, and person.

My sis lives right near there so maybe I can get some info.

Yikes! This is so sad. WTF???
