Silence is Goldsmith

Jerry Goldsmith, whose musical scores for dozens of films and television series earned him 17 Oscar nominations, had his own score settled at the age of 75. Goldsmith took home just one Oscar, to go along with 5 Emmys. His discography includes Star Trek, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Dr. Kildare, Patton, The Waltons, Total Recall, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, The Blue Max, L.A. Confidential, Basic Instinct, Chinatown, Barnaby Jones, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and his Oscar-winning The Omen. Goldsmith also famously got a blaring effect for Planet of the Apes by having his musicians blow horns without mouthpieces, and reportedly wore an ape mask while conducting the score.
