Marcia Lucas, the trailblazing film editor who won an Academy Award for her work on Star Wars and helped shape some of the most influential films of the 1970s, has died. She was 80.
The family's attorney confirmed she passed away Wednesday in Rancho Mirage, California, after a battle with cancer. "Marcia will be remembered as a brilliant storyteller, a trailblazer for women in film, a loving mother and grandmother, a generous host, and a loyal friend whose humor and sparkle filled every room she entered," the family said in a statement.
"Her influence on film is indelible. " Born Marcia Lou Griffin in Modesto, California, she began her career as a film librarian and worked her way up through the Editors Guild apprenticeship program.
She met George Lucas while both were working with legendary editor Verna Fields. The two married in 1969 and collaborated closely on several projects.
