Revered film editor Richard Marks, whose best known works include Apocalypse Now and You've Got Mail, has died at the age of 75.

The American Cinema Editors society's executive director confirmed the news to Deadline.

Over the course of his five-decade career, Marks earned four Oscars nominations and left his mark on many classics such as Julie & Julia, Pretty in Pink and Terms of Endearment.

Richard Marks, one of the greatest movie editors ever and always, died on New Year's Eve," director Richard Brooks tweeted.

"Very few others have contributed as much to as many great screen performances. He was brilliant. God rest his gifted soul."

In addition to Terms of Endearment, Marks worked on several of Brooks's films, including As Good as It Gets, Spanglish, and How Do You Know.

As Good as It Gets (1997) and Terms of Endearment (1983) earned Marks two of his nominations for the Oscar for Best Film Editing.
