General info :
Earl Watson, Jr. (born April 5, 1948 in Los Angeles, USA - died December 5, 2012 in Los Angeles, USA (aged 64)) was a talented Editor of more than 60 feature film and television shows.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Earl was a kind and generous man with a big heart, a great sense of humor, and compassion for people and the world.
He was the son of Earl "The Pearl" Watson, sole survivor of the 1317 Engineers G.S. Regiment, D-Day, Battle Of The Bulge and Battle Of The Rine River.

In college, Earl studied film so he could take classes with a girl he had a crush on. Following his heart led to a long illustrious career in cinema and television.

Being a Picture Editor was truly his destiny.

He was a patient and generous mentor to many Picture and Sound Editors and was a valued friend to his co-workers. He is fondly remembered for his dedication to his craft.

One colleague said, “Earl was a creative soul who taught me a lot – some of it was about editing. Most of all, I will miss Earl’s hearty laugh and stunning green eyes. I would know his laugh anywhere and can still hear it ringing out. And those eyes could light up a room!”

He was a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the American Cinema Editors (A.C.E.), the Motion Picture Editors Guild, and the Director’s Guild of America.

Earl loved working with Reggie Hudlin on:
“House Party” – New Line Cinema
“Boomerang” – Paramount Pictures/Imagine/Eddie Murphy Productions
“The Great White Hype” – 20th Century Fox Corp./Atman Films
“The Ladies Man” – Paramount Pictures/SNL Studios
