Frank DeWar

Frank DeWar (1907–1969) was an American film editor who worked in Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s.

Biography Frank was born in Seattle, Washington, to Francis DeWar Sr. (a native of Antwerp) and Mercedes Earle. The family soon relocated to Los Angeles, where Francis Sr. eventually became a prominent member of law enforcement there before dying in a 1932 plane crash.

Frank married Zelma Kennedy (niece of former Texas Gov. Ma Ferguson) in 1928; they had three children together. The pair split in 1939, and Frank was linked to actress Ann Sheridan in newspaper reports. His last known credit as a film editor was on 1942's The Right Timing.
