Sam O'Steen
Encyclopedia
Samuel Alexander O'Steen (November 6, 1923 – October 11, 2000) was an American
film editor and director. He had an extended, notable collaboration with the director Mike Nichols
, with whom he edited twelve films between 1966 and 1994. Among the notable films that O'Steen edited were Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
(directed by Mike Nichols, 1966), Cool Hand Luke
(directed by Stuart Rosenberg
, 1967), The Graduate
(directed by Mike Nichols, 1967), Rosemary's Baby
(directed by Roman Polanski
, 1968), and Chinatown (directed by Roman Polanski, 1974).
As a child in Burbank, California
, O'Steen would try to make it onto the Warner Bros.
lot hoping that it could be an entree to work in the editing room. O'Steen was finally able to secure a position as an assistant editor in 1956, when he became George Tomasini
's assistant editor on Alfred Hitchcock
's 1957 film The Wrong Man
. As was typical at the time, he served as an assistant editor at Warner Brothers for eight years; his first credit as editor was on Youngblood Hawke (1964), which was directed by Delmer Daves
. Within a year, O'Steen had become the editor on Mike Nichols' first film as a director, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
. O'Steen was Nichols' principal editor for nearly thirty years, during which he edited twelve of Nichols' films; their last film together was Wolf
(1994).
O'Steen had been working as a principal editor for only three years when he edited Nichols' second film, The Graduate
, but Patrick J. Sauer considers this film to be the epitome of O'Steen's editing:
In his volume from the History of American Cinema series, Paul Monaco emphasizes the innovative aspects of the editing of The Graduate:
O'Steen directed seven films for television in the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Queen of the Stardust Ballroom
(1975) and Kids Don't Tell (1985). He also directed one feature film Sparkle
(1976).
O'Steen's editing of The Graduate (1967) was honored by a BAFTA Award for Best Editing
, and he was nominated for this award again for Chinatown (1974). He was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Film Editing
for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966), Chinatown (1974), and Silkwood
(directed by Mike Nichols, 1983). In 1976, O'Steen won the "Most Outstanding Television Director" award from the Directors Guild of America
(DGA), and his film Queen of the Stardust Ballroom won the "Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television" award from the DGA. O'Steen was also nominated for an Emmy award
for "Outstanding Directing in a Special Program - Drama or Comedy" for his work on Queen of the Stardust Ballroom.
O'Steen was married twice, and he had four daughters. Sam O'Steen's memoir of his editing career, Cut to the Chase: Forty-Five Years of Editing America's Favorite Movies, was published in 2001, shortly after O'Steen's death, by his second wife Bobbie O'Steen (née Meyer). The book is written mostly as a transcript of Sam O'Steen's responses to questions posed by Bobbie O'Steen, with sidebars about individual films and filmmakers. Ray Zone has characterized it as "one of the very best anecdotal histories of filmmaking in print."
