Marvin Hamlisch dies at 68; award-winning composer of popular music

Marvin Hamlisch won three Academy Awards for 1973's 'The Way We Were' and 'The Sting,' a Tony and a Pulitzer for the 1975 Broadway sensation 'A Chorus Line' and four Emmys.

When Marvin Hamlisch auditioned for the Juilliard School of Music, he played not Chopin or Mozart but the American folk standard "Goodnight, Irene," a choice that could have had lamentable results for any other prospective student.
