Victor Young
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist
Victor Young was born in Chicago in 1899 and had violin lessons from the age of six. He studied at the Warsaw Conservatoire and played there as a violinist in the Philharmonic Orchestra. Back in America he worked as a violinist and arranger in theatre and dance orchestras. At Paramount he wrote music for a long series of films, such as For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943). The Quiet Man (1952) and the western Shane (1953) are also his. He wrote songs that became jazz standards, such as Stella by Starlight and When I Fall in Love. Young was nominated for an Oscar 22 times. He won only after his death, for Around the World in 80 Days (1956).
