Iconic film and TV composer, Gerald Fried, has passed away at the age of 95.
Film and TV composer, Gerald Fried, has died at age 95. Over his lengthy career, Fried composed scores for Stanley Kubrick's early films, the acclaimed miniseries Roots, and the iconic Star Trek "fight music".
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Fried died of pneumonia on Friday in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was born February 13, 1928, in Manhattan, and was raised in the Bronx, where he became an accomplished oboist. After stints in a number of orchestras, Fried met and befriended a young Kubrick when they joined the same recreational baseball team.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the '60s and '70s, Fried largely turned his attention to TV. He scored hours of television, including episodes of Gilligan's Island, Mission: Impossible, Lost in Space, and Dynasty. His best-remembered piece came from his work on the pioneering science fiction series Star Trek.
Fried was predeceased by a son, Zachary, at the age of five after a tainted blood transfusion; Fried wrote a stage play, Morningtime Train, based on the experience. He is survived by his wife Anita Hall, four children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Our sincerest condolences go out to Fried's family and friends at this time.
