Franz Waxman (1906-1967)
Franz
Waxman was among Hollywood's most talented composers of musical scores,
best known for his suspenseful scores of many Hitchcock films. He was
born Franz Wachsmann in 1906 in what is now Chrozow, Poland, and began
playing piano as a child. At age 17, he enrolled in the Dresden Music
Academy and later in the Berlin Music Conservatory, working nights
playing piano in nightclubs and cafes. After a brief stint in the UFA,
Waxman began scoring German films until 1934 when he was beaten up in
Berlin by an anti-Semitic street gang. This caused him to move first to
Paris, and then to the U.S. where he began scoring films in Hollywood.
He founded the Los Angeles Music Festival in 1947. In 1950, he won his
first Oscar for the music of Sunset Boulevard. He won another in 1951
for A Place in the Sun, and was nominated several times after that. - Sandra Brennan, AllMovie
