Trivia
Is entombed in The Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, near famous film composers Alfred Newman, Isham Jones, Rudolf Friml, Carrie Jacobs Bond, and many of the stars of the films for whom he composed music.
Steiner was awarded the King of Belgium Bronze Medal by the Cinema Exhibitors, Brussels, Belgium, in 1936; the American Exhibitors Laurel Award in 1948; the Golden Globe for Life with Father (1947); the Academy Award for Since You Went Away (1944); the Academy Award again for Now, Voyager (1942); the Academy Award, French government decoration, for The Informer (1935); the Italian Medal for So This Is Paris (1955); and the Statuette Award from the Cinema Exhibitors, Venice, Italy, for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).
A photograph of Steiner's right hand, holding a pen and writing notes on a musical score, appears on one stamp of a sheet of 10 USA 37¢ commemorative postage stamps, issued 25 February 2003, celebrating American Filmmaking: Behind the Scenes. The stamp honors early film composers.
In addition to his familiar theme music for Gone with the Wind (1939) and A Summer Place (1959), Steiner was also the composer of the well-known Warner Bros. Fanfare, originally written for Tovarich (1937) and used to introduce numerous Warner Brothers films ever since. For many years, composers at the studio, instead of writing the music out, would simply write "'Tovarich' Fanfare" at the beginning of their scores, and the musicians would know what they meant.
As a boy, Steiner was given piano instruction by legendary composer Johannes Brahms. Steiner's father was a major theatrical producer in Vienna, who had discovered and promoted Brahms, and the two remained great friends.
He was Bette Davis' favorite film composer.

Mini biography
Austrian composer who achieved legendary status as the creator of hundreds of classic American film scores. As a child he was astonishingly musically gifted, composing complex works as a teenager and completing the course of study at Vienna's Hochschule fuer Musik und Darstellende Kunst in only one year, at the age of sixteen. He studied under Gustav Mahler and, before the age of twenty, made his living as a conductor and as composer of works for the theater, the concert hall, and vaudeville. After a brief sojourn in Britian, Steiner moved to the USA in the same wave as fellow film composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold and quickly became a sought-after orchestrator and conductor on Broadway, bringing the Western classical tradition in which he had been raised to mainstream audiences.
He was soon snatched up by the film studios with the advent of sound and helped the fledgling talkies become musically sophisticated within a brief few years. He was one of the first to fully integrate the musical score with the images on-screen and to score individual scenes for their content and create leitmotifs for individual characters, as opposed to simply providing vaguely appropriate mood music, as evidenced in King Kong (1933), which set the standard for American film music for years to come.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, he was one of the most respected, innovative, and brilliant composers of American film music, creating a truly staggering number of exceptional scores for films of all types. He was nominated for Academy Awards for his scores eighteen times and won three times. Years after his death in 1971, he remains one of the giants of motion picture history, and his music still thrives.

Biography
from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
One of the greatest composers ever to score motion pictures, Max Steiner was also among the most prolific, with some 250 feature films to his credit (although the only music in some of his early talkies was that heard under the opening credits). A child prodigy who studied with Gustav Mahler, Steiner emigrated to America in 1914, working as conductor and orchestrator on many Broadway musicals before coming to Hollywood in 1929, shortly after the arrival of sound. Working first for RKO and then, for the bulk of his career, at Warner Bros., Steiner developed a lusty, fully orchestrated type of movie music that made up in dynamism and visceral impact what it lacked in subtlety.
An Oscar winner for the scores of The Informer (1935), Now, Voyager (1942, which produced the hit song "Wrong"), and Since You Went Away (1944), Steiner was also nominated for his work on The Gay Divorcee, The Lost Patrol (both 1934), The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Garden of Allah (both 1936), The Life of Emile Zola (1937), Dark Victory (1939), Gone With the Wind (also 1939, considered by many aficionados to be his finest score), The Letter (1940), Sergeant York (1941), Casablanca (1942, in which he wanted to replace "As Time Goes By" with a song of his own), The Adventures of Mark Twain (1944), Rhapsody in Blue (1945, adroitly blending with his own music some themes and motifs written by this biopic's subject, George Gershwin), Night and Day (1946, doing the same in this Cole Porter biography), Life With Father, My Wild Irish Rose (both 1947), Beyond the Forest (1949), The Flame and the Arrow (1950), The Jazz Singer, The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (both 1952), The Caine Mutiny (1954), and Battle Cry (1955).
Oddly, the Academy failed to recognize some of his greatest scores, such as those composed for RKO's Symphony of Six Million (1932) and King Kong (1933, portions of which were being used in RKO movies years later), and those for Warners' Dodge City (1939), They Died With Their Boots On (1941), The Beast With Five Fingers (1946), Johnny Belinda, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (both 1948), Springfield Rifle (1952), and The Searchers (1956). In his later years at Warners, a desperately overworked Steiner reportedly drafted fellow Music Department composer William Lava on a regular basis to write music for which Steiner took credit. Even so, he produced a staggering amount of remarkably high-quality work in the course of a long and distinguished career.

Trivia
Is entombed in The Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, near famous film composers Alfred Newman, Isham Jones, Rudolf Friml, Carrie Jacobs Bond, and many of the stars of the films for whom he composed music.
Steiner was awarded the King of Belgium Bronze Medal by the Cinema Exhibitors, Brussels, Belgium, in 1936; the American Exhibitors Laurel Award in 1948; the Golden Globe for Life with Father (1947); the Academy Award for Since You Went Away (1944); the Academy Award again for Now, Voyager (1942); the Academy Award, French government decoration, for The Informer (1935); the Italian Medal for So This Is Paris (1955); and the Statuette Award from the Cinema Exhibitors, Venice, Italy, for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).
A photograph of Steiner's right hand, holding a pen and writing notes on a musical score, appears on one stamp of a sheet of 10 USA 37¢ commemorative postage stamps, issued 25 February 2003, celebrating American Filmmaking: Behind the Scenes. The stamp honors early film composers.
In addition to his familiar theme music for Gone with the Wind (1939) and A Summer Place (1959), Steiner was also the composer of the well-known Warner Bros. Fanfare, originally written for Tovarich (1937) and used to introduce numerous Warner Brothers films ever since. For many years, composers at the studio, instead of writing the music out, would simply write "'Tovarich' Fanfare" at the beginning of their scores, and the musicians would know what they meant.
As a boy, Steiner was given piano instruction by legendary composer Johannes Brahms. Steiner's father was a major theatrical producer in Vienna, who had discovered and promoted Brahms, and the two remained great friends.
He was Bette Davis' favorite film composer.

Mini biography
Austrian composer who achieved legendary status as the creator of hundreds of classic American film scores. As a child he was astonishingly musically gifted, composing complex works as a teenager and completing the course of study at Vienna's Hochschule fuer Musik und Darstellende Kunst in only one year, at the age of sixteen. He studied under Gustav Mahler and, before the age of twenty, made his living as a conductor and as composer of works for the theater, the concert hall, and vaudeville. After a brief sojourn in Britian, Steiner moved to the USA in the same wave as fellow film composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold and quickly became a sought-after orchestrator and conductor on Broadway, bringing the Western classical tradition in which he had been raised to mainstream audiences.
He was soon snatched up by the film studios with the advent of sound and helped the fledgling talkies become musically sophisticated within a brief few years. He was one of the first to fully integrate the musical score with the images on-screen and to score individual scenes for their content and create leitmotifs for individual characters, as opposed to simply providing vaguely appropriate mood music, as evidenced in King Kong (1933), which set the standard for American film music for years to come.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, he was one of the most respected, innovative, and brilliant composers of American film music, creating a truly staggering number of exceptional scores for films of all types. He was nominated for Academy Awards for his scores eighteen times and won three times. Years after his death in 1971, he remains one of the giants of motion picture history, and his music still thrives.

Biography
from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
One of the greatest composers ever to score motion pictures, Max Steiner was also among the most prolific, with some 250 feature films to his credit (although the only music in some of his early talkies was that heard under the opening credits). A child prodigy who studied with Gustav Mahler, Steiner emigrated to America in 1914, working as conductor and orchestrator on many Broadway musicals before coming to Hollywood in 1929, shortly after the arrival of sound. Working first for RKO and then, for the bulk of his career, at Warner Bros., Steiner developed a lusty, fully orchestrated type of movie music that made up in dynamism and visceral impact what it lacked in subtlety.
An Oscar winner for the scores of The Informer (1935), Now, Voyager (1942, which produced the hit song "Wrong"), and Since You Went Away (1944), Steiner was also nominated for his work on The Gay Divorcee, The Lost Patrol (both 1934), The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Garden of Allah (both 1936), The Life of Emile Zola (1937), Dark Victory (1939), Gone With the Wind (also 1939, considered by many aficionados to be his finest score), The Letter (1940), Sergeant York (1941), Casablanca (1942, in which he wanted to replace "As Time Goes By" with a song of his own), The Adventures of Mark Twain (1944), Rhapsody in Blue (1945, adroitly blending with his own music some themes and motifs written by this biopic's subject, George Gershwin), Night and Day (1946, doing the same in this Cole Porter biography), Life With Father, My Wild Irish Rose (both 1947), Beyond the Forest (1949), The Flame and the Arrow (1950), The Jazz Singer, The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (both 1952), The Caine Mutiny (1954), and Battle Cry (1955).
Oddly, the Academy failed to recognize some of his greatest scores, such as those composed for RKO's Symphony of Six Million (1932) and King Kong (1933, portions of which were being used in RKO movies years later), and those for Warners' Dodge City (1939), They Died With Their Boots On (1941), The Beast With Five Fingers (1946), Johnny Belinda, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (both 1948), Springfield Rifle (1952), and The Searchers (1956). In his later years at Warners, a desperately overworked Steiner reportedly drafted fellow Music Department composer William Lava on a regular basis to write music for which Steiner took credit. Even so, he produced a staggering amount of remarkably high-quality work in the course of a long and distinguished career.
