Film editor and former American Cinema Editors board member Doug Ibold, died Wednesday, Nov. 8 at the Motion Picture & Television Fund Mary Pickford House in Woodland Hills, California. He was 83 and died of cancer, according to a report.
Born January 23, 1940, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Ibold was raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, and graduated from Florida State University.
In his early career, he worked for WTVT in Tampa/St Petersburg. During his time there, he was the CBS pool camera operator on the pitching deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Wasp, televising the first live shots of the Gemini 6 and 7 space capsule landings via the Telstar Satellite.
Ibold shot and edited film for John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the early ’70s, then transitioned to a successful career as a film editor in Los Angeles. He cut shows for Don Bellisario and edited the original pilot for Dick Wolf’s Law and Order, a working relationship with Wolf that would last for many decades.
Among his numerous television credit were Law and Order SVU, Quincy M.E., the original Magnum P.I., Miami Vice, Walker Texas Ranger, Xena: Warrior Princess, Tour of Duty, and many others.
Feature film credits included Ladies and Gentlemen – The Rolling Stones, Christopher Crowe’s Off Limits, and Lee Katzin’s The Break, among others.
He served on the American Cinema Editors Board for the better part of two decades, was an Emmy and Eddie Award-nominated film editor, and received the ACE Career Achievement Award in 2012.
He is survived by his brother, Robert Ibold of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, nieces and nephews and their families. No formal services will be held, but a celebration of life will be scheduled at some point. Donations can be made in his name to MPTF.
