Carol Littleton
Carol Littleton, A.C.E., one of Hollywood's most talented and award-winning film editors, is a 1960 graduate of Miami High School. After graduating with honors from the University of Oklahoma, she completed her master's thesis at the University of Paris as a Fulbright Scholar in 1969. Her editing career spans 38 years with more than 38 feature films to her credit. Most of them are well known to audiences such as "Body Heart," "The Big Chill," "Silverado," "Places In The Heart," "The Manchurian Candidate," "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (Academy Award nomination), "Tuesdays With Morrie" (Emmy Award) and "China Moon" (directed by her husband and award-winning cinematographer John Bailey, A.S.C.). In 1987, Littleton was elected President of the Editors Guild and, in the mid-1990s, she and her husband were elected to the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences - the first time a married couple had served together since Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. They are still active members of the Academy.
