- Anne Bauchens (1882 - 1967) was an American film editor who is particularly noted for her collaboration over 40 years with the director Cecil B. DeMille. When the Academy Award for Film Editing was created in 1934, Bauchens received one of the three nominations for her editing of Cleopatra. She later won the Academy Award for North West Mounted Police (1940). Bauchens was trained as an editor by DeMille, and shared her first credit with him on the film Carmen. Prior to 1918, DeMille had edited, as well as directed, his films. After Carmen and We Can't Have Everything, Bauchens no longer shared the editing credits with DeMille. She edited DeMille's films for the rest of their long careers, through the 1956 film The Ten Commandments. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Film editing again twice, for The Greatest Show on Earth in 1952 and for The Ten Commandments in 1956. In total, Bauchens' editing is credited on 41 films directed by DeMille, and on 20 films with other directors. Despite her long career and her series of awards, the characterizations of Bauchens as an editor are not invariably flattering. Margaret Booth, another distinguished film editor, has been quoted as saying in 1965 that, "Anne Bauchens is the oldest editor in the business. She was editing for years before I came into the business. DeMille was a bad editor, I thought, and made her look like a bad editor. I think Anne really would have been a good editor, but she had to put up with him––which was something."
- Anne Bauchens war eine US-amerikanische Cutterin.
- Anne Bauchens (Saint-Louis, 2 février 1882 - Woodland Hills, 7 mai 1967) est une monteuse de cinéma américaine particulièrement connue pour ses plus de 40 ans de collaboration avec le réalisateur Cecil B. DeMille. Quand l'Oscar du meilleur montage fut créé en 1934, Bauchens reçut une des trois premières nominations pour son travail sur Cléopâtre. Elle gagna plus tard la récompense elle-même pour Les Tuniques écarlates en 1940. Bauchens fut formée au montage par DeMille, et figura pour la première fois avec lui au générique de Carmen, dans sa version de 1918. (Avant cette date, DeMille montait lui-même ses films. ) Après Carmen et We Can't Have Everything (film perdu de 1918), Bauchens resta seule créditée au montage. Elle travailla pour DeMille tout le reste de leurs longues carrières, jusqu'en 1956. Elle fut nominée à l'Oscar du meilleur montage pour leurs deux derniers films : Sous le plus grand chapiteau du monde en 1952 et Les Dix Commandements en 1956. Au total, elle a effectué le montage de 41 films de DeMille, et de 20 films d'autres réalisateurs. Malgré sa longue carrière et les récompenses reçues, le travail de Bauchens n'est pas unanimement apprécié. Margaret Booth, une autre monteuse, aurait déclaré en 1965 : « Anne Bauchens is the oldest editor in the business. She was editing for years before I came into the business. DeMille was a bad editor, I thought, and made her look like a bad editor. I think Anne really would have been a good editor, but she had to put up with him––which was something. »
