James Lyons


 James Lyons (October 8, 1960 – April 12, 2007)

Lyons was a film editor, screenwriter and actor who frequently collaborated with Todd Haynes. He is probably best known for editing The Virgin Suicides and editing and co-writing Velvet Goldmine. He also had a minor role in 1996 film I Shot Andy Warhol as Billy Name. As an editor Lyons favored slower pacing that emphasized the characters' emotions, and he contributed greatly to the retro feel of "Far From Heaven", which was Haynes' homage to 1950s Hollywood director Douglas Sirk. For nearly two decades he was a vocal AIDS activist and educator and often chose projects that promoted awareness of the disease. He died in Manhattan of squamous cell carcinoma, at the age of 46.
