Marks was Barry Malkin's assistant editor on The Rain People (1969), which was a directed by Francis Ford Coppola early in his career. He then assisted Dede Allen on Alice's Restaurant (1969) and on Little Big Man (1970); he co-edited Serpico (1973) with Allen. Dede Allen is among the most prominent film editors of her generation, and she was known for helping to develop the careers of several younger editors. Roger Crittenden has written that "Perhaps the outstanding graduate of the Dede Allen Academy is Richard Marks."
Marks was nominated for many awards including four times for the Academy Award (Oscars), three times for ACE Eddie Awards, three times for the BAFTA Award, and also for an Emmy.
Marks was elected to membership in the American Cinema Editors, and in 2013 he received their Career Achievement Award.
