Biography

Film editor Stu Linder began cutting features as an apprentice at Paramount in the early '60s. His first job as a full-fledged editor was to join four others in shaping up John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix (1966). Linder and his colleagues shared an Oscar for their work on this film. Later, he worked with distinguished director Mike Nichols as an assistant editor on such films as Catch 22 (1970) and Carnal Knowledge (1971). He labored steadily until 1975, when he temporarily exchanged his hectic Hollywood life for a more reflective one crossing the seas aboard a sailboat. After sailing around the world, he returned to editing with My Bodyguard (1980). In 1981, he teamed with first-time director Barry Levinson for Diner. Linder has subsequently edited nearly all of Levinson's features, including The Natural (1984), Rainman (1988), Quiz Show (1994), Wag the Dog (1997), and Sphere (1998). ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Stewart Bridgewater "Stu" Linder (November 8, 1931-January 12, 2006) was an American film editor with 25 credits.[1] He shared the Academy Award for Film Editing for the 1966 film Grand Prix (directed by John Frankenheimer), which was the very first film on which Linder was credited as an editor. Linder is particularly noted for his long collaboration (1982-2006) with the director Barry Levinson.[2] Perhaps the best remembered film from their collaboration, which extended over 20 films, was Rain Man (1988), which won the Academy Award for Best Film. Linder won an ACE Eddie award for editing this film, and was nominated for both the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Editing. The 2006 film Man of the Year starring Robin Williams is dedicated to Linder's memory.
