The most popular film composer of the modern era, John Williams created music for some of the most successful motion pictures in Hollywood history -- #Star Wars, #E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, and #Jurassic Park are just three of the credits in his extensive oeuvre. Born February 8, 1932, in Long Island, NY, he was himself the son of a movie studio musician, and he followed in his father's footsteps by studying music at UCLA and Juilliard; initially, he pursued a career as a jazz pianist, later working with Henry Mancini to compose the score for the hit television series #Peter Gunn.
