“Man. I met Glenn Farr when I worked at a Waldenbooks store in a mall before ever getting anywhere near the movie industry. Helped him find a book, somehow it came out that he was an editor and had cut THE RIGHT STUFF, a movie I dug. He asked what I wanted to do – I wasn’t sure. Comic artist? Maybe an illustrator of some kind. He told me he had an illustrator friend at Paramount who intro’s me to – turned out to be a guy who was a legendary storyboard artist from the Golden Age of Hollywood.” Film director, Peter Ramsey shared after Farr’s death was announced.

He was one of the five film editors to win the Academy Award for Best Film during the 56th Academy Award for the film The Right Stuff.  He shared his victory with other editors including Lisa Fruchtman, Tom Rolf, Stephen A. Rotter, and Douglas Stewart.
