I’m looking for some corroboration that the SSDI index name “Marty L Chielens” (d. 17 Feb 2009) is the same as Martin X. Chielens who worked as an film editor in the late 1980s, and an obit might possibly help. I suspect, but don’t know, that he died in the Los Angeles area.
Anyone???
I’m not sure if this is helpful or not, but have you tried either Google News or the many sources available here? I don’t know who that guy is, but if he had any national prominence, and one of the wire services picked up his obit, it will probably turn up in one of the news archives. I don’t know if either of those sources have LA papers, but they might.
