William Hornbeck

William Hornbeck (born August 23, 1901, Los Angeles, California – died October 19, 1983 Ventura, California) was an American film editor.

He was nominated four times for the Academy Award for Film Editing, and won the award for A Place in the Sun (1951). Other important credits include It's a Wonderful Life (1946), Giant (1956), and I Want to Live! (1958).
