| Michel Legrand |
On January 26, 2019, composer Michael Legrand passed away at the age of 86 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. Over the course of his career he has worked with several French New Wave luminaries and even a few Orson Welles films (including his posthumous release The Other Side of the Wind). In such a prolific career, he has composed music for over 200 films and theater productions. In total, he has received 13 Oscar nominations and won for three starting with The Thomas Crown Affair song "The Windmills of Your Mind." With such an incredible career, he remains one of cinema's most influential composers who never stopped working and brought his heart to every production. His prolific nature means that you'll know at least one of his works, and that is an achievement few others could possibly achieve.
