Blanche Sewell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blanche Sewell (b. October 27, 1898, Oklahoma - d. February 2, 1949, Burbank, California) was an American film editor.

She had hoped to work as an actress in Hollywood, but became a negative cutter and then an editor.[1] She was film editor on several notable MGM films, including The Wizard of Oz, though she did not live to see the film's spectacular success as a television perennial. She died at age 50. She had a son, Barton F. Sewell II, who died in January 1953.

She is interred in Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, California.
