HILLSIDE MEMORIAL PART, CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA

JERRY GOLDSMITH

1929 to 2004

On our 2005 visit to Jerry Goldsmith's grave, his crypt had not yet been finished. Since, a placard has been added which reads as follows:

DEARLY LOVED BY HIS WIFE, HIS CHILDREN,

GRAND, AND GREAT GRAND CHILDREN, FAMILY & FRIENDS.

CHERISHED AND RESPECTED AROUND THE WORLD

FOR THE GIFT OF HIS MUSIC.

POSTER AVAILABLE @ MOVIE POSTERS

Jerry Goldsmith's body of work is unlike any other of his Hollywood peers. His work is as varied as the films that he scored. Most of his fellow composers have a certain repetitive sound to their music, but Jerry's is almost universally unique even unto itself. Who can ever forget the bone-chilling chords of Ave Santani from The Omen soundtrack. Without it, as with many of the films Goldsmith was associated, the impact would be muted.
