Joel Cox was born in 1942 and his film career began at a very early age
- appearing before the cameras, in fact - as a baby in the film 'Random
Harvest'. Some twenty years later he began work as a mail-room boy with
Warner Brothers, the company with whom he has worked ever since, and in
1969 moved into the cutting-room, as an uncredited assistant editor on
'Woodstock' and 'The Wild Bunch'. He was a credited assistant on 'The
Outlaw Josey Wales', working for the first time with Clint Eastwood. A
durable collaboration followed with Cox cutting all films made by
Eastwood since.
