Jerry Goldsmith



[

Miscellaneous

  • Goldsmith's daughter, Carrie Goldsmith, went to high school[5] with famed Titanic composer James Horner, who also composed music for Star Trek's second and third movies: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
  • On the Planet of the Apes DVD commentary track, he explains why he didn't score the final scene: "Charlton Heston was a bit over the top by himself," and didn't need any score to accompany him.
  • He considered Total Recall (1990) one of his best scores.
  • With help from fellow composer Joel McNeely, he composed and recorded the score to Air Force One in just three weeks. (Goldsmith later said he would never again take on a replacement score with such little time available.)
  • In 1997, he composed a new theme for the Universal Studios opening logo.
  • Goldsmith lived with his wife, former teacher and singer Carol Heather Goldsmith, in Beverly Hills. She composed lyrics for, and sang in the additional track "The Piper Dreams" for the soundtrack of The Omen, as well as a song from the film Caboblanco.
  • He died after a long struggle with colon cancer, ending a long and memorable career in film scoring.
  • His oldest son, Joel Goldsmith, is also a composer and collaborated with his father on the soundtrack for Star Trek: First Contact.
  • His daughter, Carrie Goldsmith, is currently working on a biography of her father, the first chapter of which can be read on her younger brother's website.[6]
  • Throughout the '90s, he sported long hair that he pulled back into a neat ponytail. This became his signature look. In concert, Goldsmith often would recount a story of how Sean Connery copied Goldsmith's hairstyle for the 1992 film Medicine Man. In the film's closing credits, Goldsmith is listed as "hair designer." He cut his hair in 2002, after more than a decade with the ponytail.
