Hugh S. Fowler (July 24, 1912 in Missouri – August 2, 1975 in Los Angeles, California) was an American film editor with about 38 feature film credits from 1952 – 1972.〔Birth and death dates confirmed using the California Death Index ((【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.familytreelegends.com/records/caldeaths?c=search&first=Hugh&last=Fowler&spelling=Exact&5_year=&5_month=0&5_day=0&6_year=1975&6_month=0&6_day=0&4=male&7=&8=&SubmitSearch.x=29&SubmitSearch.y=13 )).〕 Fowler spent his virtually his entire editing career at Twentieth Century-Fox. After spending years helping other film editors, including Louis Loeffler, Barbara McLean, William H. Reynolds and Robert Simpson, Fowler was promoted to film editor full-time in 1952; his first movie as a film editor was ''Phone Call from a Stranger'', released that year and directed by Jean Negulesco. Although he edited only 38 movies in a 20-year career, all of them Twentieth releases, he edited some of the greatest scenes in the studio's history. Two of them involved the same actress, Marilyn Monroe: her performance of the song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" from ''Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'' (directed by Howard Hawks - 1953) and her blown-skirt scene in ''The Seven Year Itch'' (directed by Billy Wilder-1955). It wasn't until eight years after Monroe's death that Fowler won his Oscar, for the movie ''Patton'' (1970). His final movie, ''The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean'' (1972), was directed by John Huston. Fowler died in California three years later. Fowler is remembered for editing primarily Twentieth theatrical releases directed by freelancers, including Howard Hawks (''Gentlemen Prefer Blondes''), Franklin J. Schaffner (''Planet of the Apes'' (1968), ''Patton''), Frank Tashlin (''Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?'' (1957)) and Billy Wilder (''The Seven Year Itch''). ==Award== *1970 Academy Award for Best Film Editing for ''Patton'' *1970 American Cinema Editors Eddie for ''Patton'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh S.
