Linder is particularly noted for his long collaboration (1982-2006) with the director Barry Levinson.[citation needed] Perhaps the best remembered film from their collaboration, which extended over 20 films, was Rain Man (1988), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Linder won an ACE Eddie award for editing this film, and was nominated for both the Academy Award and the BAFTA Award for Best Editing. [citation needed]
Death
Linder died on January 12, 2006 of a heart attack, at the age of 74.[2]
