Film editor Orven Schanzer has died from respiratory arrest at the age of 97.
He worked with huge stars including Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe during his five-decade career.
During his almost-50 years in the industry, he was responsible for bringing huge films like Cleopatra and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to the big screen.
His talents helped bring dozens of movies and TV shows to life between 1947 and 1992, when he retired from the industry.
His sad death was confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by his family.
He actually worked with legendary actress Marilyn at least six times, also working as an editor on her movies We're Not Married!, River of No Return, The Seven Year Itch and Bus Stop, as well as her famous Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend sequence.
Orven also worked on a string of hit TV shows, including The Fugitive and The Invaders.
Later in life, Orven also made a name for himself as an activist and fundraiser, supporting non-profit organisation Ambor Schanzer Fight Against Neuropathy, which he founded in honour of his sister.
The organisation's website once posted about how Orven had been awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for educating the public about neuropathy, nerve damage and muscle-wasting disease.
In 2014, he also received a Mayoral Letter from the Honorable Mayor Sly James of his hometown Kansas City, which acknowledged and praised his nationwide support and outreach in neuropathy.
He is survived by his wife Jobina as well as his daughter Lisa and many loving nieces and nephews.
