This article is part of Overlooked, a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.When Dorothy Spencer was asked what it took to become a film editor, her answer was always the same: patience.In a five-decade career, she worked as an editor on more than 70 movies and received four Academy Award nominations across a range of genres: the Oscar-winning 1939 western Stagecoach; the espionage thriller Decision Before Dawn (1951); the costume epic Cleopatra (1963); and the disaster movie Earthquake (1974).
