** An oddity was that his first Oscar win, ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'', was technically not a score that he composed, but rearrangements and variations of the musical's songs used as background music. His first nomination, ''Literature/ValleyOfTheDolls'', was a score similarly based on the songs composed for the film by André and Dory Previn.
