Sally Menke was found dead yesterday in Griffith Park, where she had been hiking with her dog (who was found alive) theories point to Los Angeles county's record breaking heat being a possible cause of death. Sally Menke is most notable as the editor of all of Quentin Tarantino's films. It was tradition on set that actors would say "Hi Sally" after making mistakes, which she would see in the editing room. Editors are often unsung heroes for anyone who isn't a movie buff or aspiring to enter the world of film themselves, but from what you can see she was a very loved person in her field. RIP.

I remember her from The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing documentary. She was an amazing editor indeed. May she rest in peace.
