Known for:	Goodfellas, The Departed, The Aviator
Birthday:	3 January 1940, USA

Works mainly as editor to Martin Scorsese, who tried to convince her to work for him for years. She was unable to work in Hollywood, however, because she couldn't get into the union. When Scorcese called to ask her to work on Raging Bull, she again demurred because of lack of union membership. However, she believes that Al Pacino got her into the union. To this day, she does not know what influence was used to gain her union membership. Martin Scorsese introduced her to her husband, Michael Powell. Her father worked for an oil company, so she was born in Algeria, but grew up in Aruba. She did not live in the United States until her teens. She met Martin Scorsese during a summer program at New York University, where she was taking an editing course. As she had some professional experience editing movies for late night television, she was brought in to help student director Scorsese with problems on his film.
