Glenn Farr Obituary

American film and tv editor, Glenn Farr has been reported dead by close sources. He died of complications from a brain tumor on May 25, 2023. He was 77 years old.

Tributes have been pouring in from fellow movie industry players and other fans on social media after the news of his death made it to the public.

“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. I got a look behind the curtain, the first time on a studio lot, and some validation when he looked at my work, and I began to realize “man, I can maybe do this!” Never spoke to Mr. Farr again. But I thank him for kindly, unknowingly, helping a young guy find his way, RIP,” Film director, Peter Ramsey shared.

“Very sad to report that Edward “Glenn” Farr, Oscar-winning editor of The Right Stuff, has passed away. He also cut from This is Elvis to Fasto to Commando to Nothing in Common to Akeelah & The Bee. He was a gruff, funny, kind man. He will be sorely missed,” David Poland wrote.
