Not familiar with her, but she has a kind of Scandinavian name.
She's from Wertsburg in Germany, another Hollywood Jewish refugee from Adolf. Y'know, reading the articles is always their best use.
Actually, that's in Bavaria, and you refer to Bavarians as Germans at your peril.

Fascinating to read these biographical pieces. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like Ms Blangsted worked on a few James Horner scores during the period that he was pretty much otherwise exclusively using Jim Henrikson.
Cheers

Interesting piece. Ms. Blangsted was the music editor on DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID, in the somewhat unusual situation where Miklos Rozsa did not conduct, because of a back injury. (Lee Holdridge stepped in.) She figures prominently in Preston Jones's lively account of the recording session in Pro Musica Sana 35 (1982).

I wish to heaven I had seen this thread back in 2011, but I was probably still distracted by recovering from my bus attack. Or not. I miss a lot of important things. In any case, it's heartening to see that this wonderful lady kept going strong for so many years, and that her work was publicly recognized.
Thanks for mentioning the DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID article, John. I'm still ashamed of the fact that I misspelled Ms. Blangsted's name in it. As I said, I miss a lot of important things.

Always surprised that no one knows these people. And not a single mention of her husband, Folmar Blangested, who was a hugely successful film editor. Their son David is also an editor and cut my second movie.

I haven't read the Times piece yet, but I'm as shocked as you must have been, Bruce, at the omission of her husband. The New Yorker printed a 40-page article on Else's life story in 1988, and I've just ordered a copy of that back issue. Let's hope that with all those pages Folmar made the cut.

Just so people know, the unmentioned Folmar cut a few little movies people might have heard of, like, oh, A Star is Born (Judy version), Rio Bravo, The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond, Dark at the Top of the Stairs, Taras Bulba, Dead Ringer, Dear Heart, The War Lord, Camelot, Up the Down Staircase, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Summer of '42, The Other, and tons of other great movies. One of the best ever.
