Carol Littleton — née à Miami (Oklahoma) le 23 octobre 1942 — est une monteuse américaine, membre de l'ACE.

Biography

Comme monteuse, Carol Littleton contribue à une trentaine de films américains (parfois en coproduction), le premier sorti en 1975 ; les deux derniers à ce jour sortent en 2015, dont Cut Bank de Matt Shakman (avec Liam Hemsworth et Teresa Palmer).

En particulier, elle collabore à neuf films réalisés par Lawrence Kasdan, depuis La Fièvre au corps (1981, avec William Hurt et Kathleen Turner) jusqu'à Freeway et nous (2012, avec Diane Keaton et Kevin Kline), en passant entre autres par Silverado (1985, avec Kevin Kline et Scott Glenn) et Wyatt Earp (1994, avec Kevin Costner dans le rôle-titre).

Parmi ses autres films notables, citons E.T. l'extra-terrestre de Steven Spielberg (1982, avec Dee Wallace et Henry Thomas) et Un crime dans la tête de Jonathan Demme (2004, avec Denzel Washington et Liev Schreiber) ; le premier lui vaut notamment, en 1983, une nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage (qu'elle ne gagne pas).

Pour la télévision, à ce jour, Carol Littleton travaille sur trois téléfilms, le dernier en post-production (2015).

Depuis 1972, elle est mariée au directeur de la photographie John Bailey (également né en 1942). Le couple se retrouve sur quelques films, dont Silverado (1985) précité, Lune rouge (1994, avec Ed Harris et Madeleine Stowe, réalisé par John Bailey) et The Anniversary Party de Jennifer Jason Leigh et Alan Cumming (2001, avec les coréalisateurs).

Margot (Nicole Kidman) is a successful but neurotic writer who brings her 11-year-old son Claude (Zane Pais) to spend a weekend visiting her free-spirited sister Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh) on the eve of her wedding to Malcolm (Jack Black) at Pauline & Malcolm's home on Long Island. Margot disapproves of Pauline's choice of fiancé, which will become one of several sources of tension between the two sisters. Malcolm is also free-spirited, but also unsuccessful, unmotivated, socially inappropriate and "completely unattractive". Because much of Malcolm's time is spent dabbling in painting, playing music and writing letters to magazines, Margot feels that Pauline could do better. While in town, Margot will also be interviewed in a local bookstore by Dick Koosman (Ciarán Hinds), a successful author with whom Margot is collaborating on a screenplay. Dick's teenage daughter Maisie (Halley Feiffer) also visits the house.
