Maximilian Raoul "Max" Steiner (May 10, 1888 – December 28, 1971) was an Austrian-born American composer of music for theatre and films. He was a child prodigy who conducted his first operetta when he was twelve and became a full-time professional, either composing, arranging or conducting, when he was fifteen.He worked in England, then Broadway, and moved to Hollywood in 1929 where he became one of the first composers to write music scores for films. Steiner is referred to as "the father of film music" and is considered one of the greatest film score composers in the history of cinema. Along with such composers as Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Alfred Newman and Miklós Rózsa, Steiner played a major part in creating the tradition of writing music for films.Steiner composed over 300 film scores with RKO and Warner Brothers, and was nominated for 24 Academy Awards, winning three: The Informer (1935), Now, Voyager (1942), and Since You Went Away (1944). Besides his Oscar-winning scores, some of Steiner's popular works include King Kong (1933), Little Women (1933), Jezebel (1938), Casablanca (1942), and the film score for which he is possibly best known, Gone with the Wind (1939).He was also the first recipient of the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, which he won for his score to Life with Father. Steiner was a frequent collaborator with some of the most famous film directors in history, including Michael Curtiz, John Ford and William Wyler, and scored many of the films with Errol Flynn, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart and Fred Astaire. Many of his film scores are available as separate soundtrack recordings. | Date Of Birth | May 10, 1888, Vienna, Austria |

| 1 | I never run out of tunes. Music is always in my mind. Sometimes I wake up at three in the morning and begin tossing. My wife will say, 'Daddy, why don't you write it down?' So I get up, put it on a paper, and go back to sleep. |

| 1 | A character in the final BANACEK episode, Hurd Steiner, was based on him, right down to the glasses and short haircut. |
| 2 | The composers that influenced him are Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, John Barry, Trevor Jones, Danny Elfman, James Horner, John Williams, Bruce Broughton, Maurice Jarre, Henry Mancini, Carter Burwell & Craig Armstrong. |
| 3 | His son Ronald Steiner (2 March 1940) was a soldier in the US Army stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii, when he committed suicide on April 29, 1962. |
| 4 | Was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1559 Vine St. on December 30, 1975. |
| 5 | Conducted the orchestra for several Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals. |
| 6 | Worked on 36 films in 1934 and 37 the next year. It is doubtful anyone will ever approach that record again. |
| 7 | After his friend and fellow composer Victor Young died suddenly while working on Samuel Fuller's China Gate (1957), Steiner finished the score gratis. Official credit reads "Music by Victor Young, extended by his old friend Max Steiner.". |
| 8 | Scored Katharine Hepburn's first eight features. |
| 9 | Acclaimed for his first complete movie feature score for Cimarron (1931), although he received no screen credit for it. |
| 10 | Richard Strauss was Steiner's godfather. |
| 11 | Arrived in New York in 1914 after being hired by Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. to conduct his "Ziegfeld Follies.". |
| 12 | When he was 15 he won a medal for completing an eight-year music course in one year at the Imperial Academy of Music in Vienna. His teacher of conducting was Gustav Mahler. |
| 13 | The cues in many of his scores are derogatorily referred to with the pejorative term "mickey-mousing.". |
| 14 | Scored ten films for David O. Selznick, winning a third Oscar for the last one, Since You Went Away (1944). Two months after the film's release, the song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" gained great popularity utilizing the same melody Steiner composed for the railway station farewell scene. |
| 15 | Worked in England from 1904-4, where he was spotted by Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. and persuaded to move to the U.S.. |
| 16 | Was extremely prodigious, composing 111 scores for RKO alone during his tenure as musical director between 1929-35. From 1936-65 he worked under contract at Warner Brothers, except for brief periods on loan to David O. Selznick. |
| 17 | Was regarded as the quintessential pioneer of American film composition, noted especially for his ability to integrate his music with the action on screen. |

| 21 | Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1995. |
| 22 | He was Bette Davis' favorite film composer. |
| 23 | 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. |
| 24 | 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. |
| 25 | A photograph of his 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. |
