Sally Menke, dead at 57

Most people don't know her name, but on the set of Quentin Tarantino's many films, she was a celebrity. During her life, Sally Menke worked with director Quentin Tarantino as an editor. Her work earned her nominations in 2009 for "Inglorious Basterds" and in 1995 for "Pulp fiction."


Menke's body was found during a search on September 28th after she had not returned from a hike with her friend-who was separated from her during the hike-in Los Angeles the previous day. It is believed that the heat may have played a role in her death. It was 113 degrees, the hottest temperatures the city has endured in 133 years.


Menke will be remembered for her contributions in the film industry.
