Ennio Morricone is an Italian composer and arguably the most famous film composer of the 20th century. Morricone has scored several hundred films, but is most commonly identified with the soundtracks he created for director Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns, including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fist Full of Dollars and Once Upon a Time in America.
Morricone began studying music at Rome's Conservatory of Santa Cecilia at the age of 12. He supported himself by playing trumpet in jazz bands and working for Italy's national radio station. He began scoring films in the 1960s, and while his work with Leone is among his most well-known, he has collaborated with a myriad of directors including Pedro Almodovar, Brian DePalma, Roman Polanski, Mike Nichols, Oliver Stone and Barry Levinson.
He was honored with an Honorary Academy Award for career achievement in 2007.
