Norman Hollyn, a respected film and music editor who worked on such movies as “Sophie’s Choice,” “The Cotton Club” and “Heathers,” has died in Japan, where he was lecturing cinema students. He was 66.

Life as a film editor, though, made for uneven employment. Jobs lasted months, occasionally a year.

Sometimes he was a film editor, sometimes he was asked to edit the music. On “Sophie’s Choice” and “Cotton Club” he was the music editor. On “Heathers” he was the film editor — as he was on Oliver Stone’s television miniseries “Wild Palms.” For five years, he hosted editing workshops at the Sundance Film Festival. He also worked as a consultant for DreamWorks and Pixar.

“He and I spent endless hours going to museums and galleries -- we loved art -- the cultural changes occurring in L.A. that allowed us to do what we had done during our years in New York.”
