Line 88:
Newman's career encompassed over 250 films, in every conceivable genre, earning him an astonishing 45 Oscar nominations, winning nine times. He composed the music for the [[Twentieth Century Fox]] logo, which is still in use today. He also is credited as "discovering" a number of composers, including David Raksin, [[Bernard Herrmann]] and [[John Williams]], whose first screen assignments were as a result of his association. Newman retired from scoring immediately after "Airport" was finished, and looked to have a long and happy retirement.
He died aged 69 on February 17, 1970 at his home in Hollywood, of complications from [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking|emphysema]].
Not to be confused with [[Mad Magazine|Alfred E. Neuman]].
