Marvin Hamlisch (1944-2012)
Greetings, viewers. I have some sad news. Oscar-winning composer Marvin Hamlisch, known to be responsible for composing music scores for 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 scooped up many awards throughout his career, including three Oscars, four Golden Globes, etc. 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 re-imaginings of Scott Joplin, such as "The Entertainer", which appeared in "The Sting" and "The Spy Who Loved Me".
