Film editor Hubert de la Bouillerie worked on more than a dozen titles over several decades, cutting pictures such as 'Tango & Cash' and two entries in the 'Police Academy' franchise. He died Aug. 8 in Los Angeles at age 75.
His editing credits include additional work on the 1970 documentary 'Woodstock.' He also cut 'Highlander II: The Quickening,' 'Mo' Money,' 'Doin' Time,' 'Blank Check' and 'Celtic Pride.' He served as editor on both 'Police Academy 5' and 'Police Academy 6.' George Miller's 'The Witches of Eastwick' is among his credits.
De la Bouillerie also directed. In 1996 he made the television film 'The Right to Remain Silent,' whose cast included Lea Thompson, LL Cool J, Patrick Dempsey, Christopher Lloyd, Amanda Plummer and Carl Reiner. He directed the 1997 science-fiction film 'The Apocalypse' as well.
Later in his career he developed projects as a writer and producer. His family said that work reflected a wide range of interests and a commitment to storytelling. He also published a novel, 'Of Love and Evil: The Birth,' described as a gothic story combining history, love, mystery and the supernatural, and he worked as a photographer and writer outside of film.
His wife, Debbie Robins de la Bouillerie, predeceased him. Earlier he was married to Hilary Saltzman, whose father, producer Harry Saltzman, teamed with Albert R. Broccoli to bring the original James Bond films to the screen.
Survivors include two children, Jacqueline Bell and Alexandre de la Bouillerie; a sister, Annie Goeke; and siblings Caroline Gruber, Juliette Glazebrook, Diane Cottrell, Helie de la Bouillerie and Alban de la Bouillerie.
