Film editor Stu Linder began cutting features as an apprentice at Paramount in the early '60s. His first job as a full-fledged editor was to join four others in shaping up John_Frankenheimer's Grand_Prix (1966). Linder and his colleagues shared an Oscar for their work on this film. Later, he worked with distinguished director Mike_Nichols as an assistant editor on such films as Catch_22 (1970) and Carnal_Knowledge (1971). He labored steadily until 1975, when he temporarily exchanged his hectic Hollywood life for a more reflective one crossing the seas aboard a sailboat. After sailing around the world, he returned to editing with My_Bodyguard (1980). In 1981, he teamed with first-time director Barry_Levinson for Diner. Linder has subsequently edited nearly all of Levinson's features, including The_Natural (1984), Rainman (1988), Quiz_Show (1994), Wag the Dog (1997), and Sphere (1998). Sandra Brennan, Rovi
