  2. Williams was born on February 8, 1932 in Long Island, New York. He moved to Los Angeles and graduated from North Hollywood High School in 1950, and then went on to attend UCLA, while attending he studied music and composing privately with an Italian composer named Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. John was drafted into the U.S. Air Force in 1952, where he conducted and arranged music for the Air Force Band as part of his assignment.

Together they had three children, Jennifer born in 1956, Mark born in 1958, and Joseph born in 1960. John did end up marrying again, to Samantha Winslow on July 21 1980.
  3. Also in 1956, Twentieth Century Fox hired John Williams to be their pianist for the studio orchestra, after a while he was writing the music for TV shows such as, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants Gilligan's Island, and Wagon Train he also wrote for low budget movies.

The popular two-note motif has become recognizable to the world as a sign of approaching danger, usually dealing with sharks. This score won Williams his second Academy Award, but this time it was for an original composition, this was his first original composition to win. Williams and Spielberg worked again together for Close Encounters of the Third Kind, in 1977. Spielberg recommended Williams to his friend and fellow director George Lucas, who needed a composer for his ambitious space epic, Star Wars. One of the most recognizable songs from a movie is “Luke’s Theme” the film as well as the soundtrack were very successful, it remains today the highest grossing non-popular music recording of all time and it won William another Academy Award for best original score. In 1980 and 1983 Williams composed the music for the second and third Star Wars movies, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.During that same time frame, 1980 to 1993, Williams took over as Principal Conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra.

  5. In 1999 George Lucas asked John Williams to score for him again but this time for the prequels of the very popular Star Wars. There were three prequels, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. Few composers have scored an entire series of this magnitude: the combined scores of all six Star Wars films add up to more than 14 hours of orchestral music.
  6. When the 20th century came around Williams was asked to compose music for the film series of the popular book Harry Potter. He went on to score the first three movies of the series.
