Mo Henry is a film negative cutter acclaimed by many as the greatest in her field. Her works include Spider-Man 2, Before Sunrise, Money Train, The Matrix, The Blind Side, and many others. According to The Internet Movie Database, she has been a negative cutter on over 300 films, although Mo claims IMDB has many inaccuracies, missing many films that she cut and including her on films incorrectly, and her ultimate total far exceeds 300. In addition she cut a fair number of adult films under the alias Ruby Diamond. Her other main credit is as the producer of the 2003 movie Anima. Despite her low profile she has amassed a fan base over the years, and many fans are known to stay during the final credits to see if Mo Henry's name shows up.
She was a third generation Henry negative cutter, starting at Universal at 18. Her first cut film (uncredited) was Jaws (a film she was told was not important at the time and could therefore be cut by a novice). She took a break from negative cutter to be a real estate agent in Beverly Hills in the eighties (with, as she describes it, "Big Hair and Big Shoulder pads"). In the seventies she lived next door to Timothy Leary.
She is left-handed, which made it harder for her to cut negative. However, she says her obsessive-compulsive disorder allows her to remember exact keycodes from negative cut days before and is an advantage in her work. She can type with her feet. She claims to be legally blind in one eye due to so many years cutting negative.
