Marvin Hamlisch (1944-2012)
Greetings, viewers. I have some sad news. Oscar-winning composer Marvin Hamlisch, known for scoring movies such as "The Sting" and "The Spy Who Loved Me," passed away in Los Angeles at age 68 on August 6th, 2012.
He wrote dozens of scores for film, Broadway, and television. He won many awards throughout his career, including three Oscars and four Golden Globes. Although incredibly versatile for his style, he composed more than 40 scores for pictures such as "Sophie's Choice," Woody Allen's "Bananas," and "The Way We Were." He was best known for his reimaginings of Scott Joplin, including "The Entertainer," which appeared in "The Sting" and "The Spy Who Loved Me."
