Noted as the first female to win an Oscar for sound editing (The River [1984]), over the course of her five-decade career Kay Rose would painstakingly craft the audio landscapes of such memorable films as Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), Crimes of the Heart (1986), and The Prince of Tides (1991). Born in New York City in 1922, Rose studied film at Hunter college before becoming film apprentice for the Army Signal Corps during World War II. Rose would relocate to Hollywood shortly thereafter, and it was there that she found work as an editor's assistant at Universal Studios. Married to film editor Sherman Rose in 1951, the couple would team to produce Target Earth (1954) but would later divorce. Following subsequent work on such features as I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and Blood of Dracula (both 1957), Rose worked on such small-screen series as The Rifleman and The Big Valley before taking to feature work full-time. Rose's daughter Victoria Rose Sampson would follow in her mothers' footsteps with frequent film sound work. On December 11, 2002, Kay Rose died of multiple organ system failure. She was 80.
