What famous Missourian won an Academy Award for the theme music to the movie The Sting'' in 1974?
Actually, on April 2, 1974, all three music Academy Awards for 1973 were won by Marvin Hamlisch, a native New Yorker. Hamlisch shared the Best Original Song award with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, for their collaboration on the theme song from "The Way We Were." Hamlisch also won the Original Dramatic Score award for the same movie.
His third Oscar was for Best Adaptation Score for "The Sting." For the Paul Newman-Robert Redford film, Hamlisch used several ragtime pieces composed by Scott Joplin, who lived at different times in Sedalia, Missouri and St. Louis. He died in New York City on April 1, 1917, at the age of 49.
Among the Joplin compositions that Hamlisch adapted for "The Sting" were "The Entertainer," "The Easy Winners," "Solace," "Pine Apple Rag," "Gladiolus Rag" and "Rag Time Dance." The movie's success -- it won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1973 -- created a revival of interest in Joplin and his music.
