Austrian-born U.S. composer and conductor.
A prodigy, he wrote an operetta at age 14 that ran in Vienna for a year. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1914 and worked in New York City as a theatre conductor and arranger, and then he moved to Hollywood in 1929. He became one of the first and finest (if not subtlest) movie composers, establishing many techniques that became standard, with his scores for
King Kong (1933),
The Informer (1935, Academy Award),
Gone with the Wind (1939),
Now, Voyager (1942, Academy Award),
Since You Went Away (1944, Academy Award),
The Big Sleep (1946),
The Fountainhead (1949), and many others.
