Rolf was born in Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden on New Year's Eve, 1931, the son of actor Ernst Rolf and Norwegian-born actress Tutta Rolf. After his father's death in 1932, Tutta married American director and choreographer Jack Donohue, who advised the young Ernst to go into film editing.〔 Rolf worked as a ski patrolman and was a seaman for the Norwegian Merchant Marine before emigrating to the United States, after which he spent three years in the United States Marine Corps.〔 He considered pursuing a career as a film director like his step-father, but Donohue convinced him to first try his hand at film editing, telling him he would "learn everything about directing by being a film editor first."〔 On July 14, 2014, Rolf died at his home in France due to complications following hip surgery. He was 82.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tom Rolf, Oscar-Winning Editor of 'The Right Stuff,' Dies at 82 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tom Rolf, Oscar-Winning Editor of ‘The Right Stuff,’ Dies at 82 )〕 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「Tom Rolf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
