Oscar-Winning songwriter Alan Bergman passes away
Veteran songwriter Alan Bergman has passed away. He was 99. Veteran songwriter Alan Bergman has passed away. He was 99. As per Variety, Alan Bergman, the Oscar-, Grammy- and Emmy-winning songwriter whose lyric-writing partnership with his wife Marilyn lasted more than six decades and produced such hits as "The Windmills of Your Mind," "The Way We Were" and "In the Heat of the Night," breathed his last on Thursday night at his home in Los Angeles. The Bergmans, who penned hundreds of songs, mostly for movies and TV, bridged the traditional Great American Songbook era of Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin with the more modern pop sensibility of the '60s, '70s and '80s. Alan's wife Marilyn Bergman died in January 2022. She was the first woman president and chairman of the board of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), a leading performing-rights society for music-makers. The Bergmans won three Academy Awards: for "Windmills" in 1968, with French composer Legrand, from "The Thomas Crown Affair"; for the title song of "The Way We Were" in 1973, with Hamlisch; and the song score for Barbra Streisand 's "Yentl" in 1983, again with Legrand. They were nominated for 13 more Oscars, five of them with their close friend Legrand (including "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" from 1969's "The Happy Ending," the title song from 1970's "Pieces of Dreams," "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" from 1982's "Best Friends," and two songs from "Yentl," "Papa Can You Hear Me?" and "The Way He Makes Me Feel"), as per Variety. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bought a car on finance?

Barbra Streisand Reveals Her and Husband James Brolin's 'Different Schedule' and Why They Go to Bed 'Very Late' (Exclusive)
Barbra Streisand says she and husband James Brolin "love the silence of the night" The couple therefore goes to sleep "very late" Streisand's new album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two is out nowWhen Barbra Streisand answers the phone to chat with PEOPLE, it's just after 2 p.m. local time in Los Angeles — but for the legendary star, the day is just beginning. 'We go to bed very late, so I'm still in bed,' Streisand, 83, explains in this week's issue of her routine with husband James Brolin, 84. 'We have a different schedule. We love the silence of the night.' The EGOT-winning singer, actress and director has long built her life around sound, first through hit songs like 'The Way We Were' and movies like Funny Girl; these days more through the giggles of her grandkids. So it's understandable why she'd appreciate some peace and quiet. Streisand and Brolin married in 1998 after meeting two years earlier at a dinner party orchestrated by friends. In recent months, she's been focused on family (The Yentl star is mom to son Jason Gould, 58, with ex-husband Elliott Gould, and grandma to a brood that includes stepson Josh Brolin's two young daughters Chapel, 4, and Westlyn, 6, and stepdaughter Molly's son Soli, 3). She celebrated her 27th wedding anniversary with Brolin on Tuesday, July 1, writing on Instagram, 'We met on a blind date 29 years ago tonight, and we married 27 years ago today. I love you honey. B xo. ❤️' Brolin joked on the Today show in April that he and his wife's best investment over the years was their mattress. 'Don't misunderstand me. We're both lazy. We love to sleep late,' he said. 'We do a lot of our work on the phone, on paper, reading, right next to each other.' Streisand — who released her bestselling memoir My Name Is Barbra in November 2023 — is currently wading back into the spotlight with a new duets album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, which she released on June 27. The record features an impressive roster of collaborators, including Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Tim McGraw, Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey. Streisand says that McCartney, 83, was the first person on board when it came time to recruit singing partners. 'He was so sweet to me when I first came to London. I was there in the '60s, I think, and he invited me to his house with his wife Linda,' she recalls. 'It was just so kind of him, and he's so wonderful. He's such a great writer and I admire him, so that's a no-brainer. [He] was the first one.' The Secret of Life marks Streisand's first new album in seven years, following Walls in 2018. The star says all of the 'wonderful people' who performed with her on the new album were catalysts for her return to the studio — and she's not done yet. Does the 10-time Grammy winner have another album in her? 'God, yeah. As long as I have a voice, I love the privacy of recording,' she says. 'I love standing there in front of the mic and the music in my ears and singing. When I was 18 years old, I made my mother call up publishers to get free music. I still have that person inside, that kid. There are more songs I want to sing.' The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two is out the original article on People

Call to action put Melbourne Theatre Company in the black
Melbourne Theatre Company defied an 11 per cent fall in box office receipts to post a small surplus in 2024, thanks to an unusual fundraising campaign instigated by its outgoing chair Jane Hansen. But there was no such philanthropic rescue at Victoria's second-largest theatre maker, Malthouse, which annoyed some donors in February 2024 when it hosted a show by anti-Israel activist Clementine Ford, at the same time as Jewish musical Yentl played at its main theatre.
