Newman scored more than 200 films across four decades, from Wuthering Heights and How Green Was My Valley to The Diary of Anne Frank and his final work, Airport, winning nine Academy Awards against 45 nominations. He also composed the fanfare that has opened every 20th Century Fox picture since, and before that wrote the fanfares associated with Samuel Goldwyn and David O. Selznick productions, in addition to a decade conducting on Broadway before he moved to Hollywood.
