Elmo Williams

Elmo Williams was an esteemed American film editor, producer, director, and executive, celebrated for his meticulous editing and significant contributions to the film industry. Born in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma, Williams began his career in the 1930s, learning the craft of film editing under the mentorship of Merrill G. White. He gained prominence with his work on High Noon (1952), for which he received the Academy Award for Best Film Editing.

Williams passed away at the age of 102 in Brookings, Oregon.
