The Hollywood Reporter
Millie Moore was an editor best known for her work on Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun and the Oscar-winning documentary The Man Who Skied Down Everest. She was also a three-time Emmy Award nominee.
Her work in television included a 1984 episode of the CBS drama Cagney & Lacey, called “Choices,” for which she earned her first Emmy nom. The other two nominations followed on two telefilms: 1988’s To Heal a Nation for NBC and 1993’s Geronimo for TNT.
Moore continued to work largely on television movies from the mid-1980s on, including Victims for Victims: The Theresa Saldana Story, Hostage Flight, Final Jeopardy, Kate's Secret, Stillwatch, Poker Alice, The Tenth Man, The Fulfillment of Mary Gray, Joshua's Heart, Ironclads, Absolute Strangers, Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story, Miracle Child and A Death in the Family.
Her first credit on a film came with 1971’s Johnny Got His Gun, based on the novel by Trumbo, who also wrote the adaptation. The anti-war drama starred Timothy Bottoms as a soldier who had lost his limbs and facial features after being fired upon during World War I. Moore’s follow-up was 1975's Everest, which she cut from what she said was, “hundreds of thousands of feet of film.” She shaped the documentary from hours of footage of a Japanese scientific expedition, focusing her story on one member of the group who was attempting to ski down the mountain.
