Aaron Stell

Aaron Stell (born March 26, 1911; died January 7, 1996 in Los Angeles) was an American film editor who worked on To Kill a Mockingbird,[1] Touch of Evil,[2] and others. The Orson Welles picture proved difficult, Stell was not the initial editor but instead chosen for re-editing, and Stell noted Welles became "ill, depressed, and unhappy with the studio's impatience" in the process.[3] In addition to editing Stell also starred and directed the film Remnants of Auric Healing as a teacher with Obsessive–compulsive disorder.

In 1996 he shared the American Cinema Editors Career Achievement Award with Desmond Marquette.[4]
