Director
Veteran film editor Otho Lovering was born in Philadelphia, PA, in 1892. In his late 20s he he got a job at Vitagraph Pictures in New York as a lowly production assistant, but became an editor in the 1920s. He went to work as an editor for Paramount Pictures, which showed its gratitude for the outstanding work he did for them by letting him direct several westerns in the mid-'30s. Although he worked on a lot of low-budget westerns and action pictures, he also edited quite a few films that are regarded as among the finest ever to come out of Hollywood, including Stagecoach (1939), Story of G.I. Joe (1945) and Cheyenne Autumn (1964). - IMDb mini biography by: [email protected]
