"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" -- Theme Music
[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcx3WFDw6z8]
This haunting piece was composed by Alex North (1910-1991), who wrote the music for more than 50 films during the nearly 40 years he worked in Hollywood.
The American composer was nominated for an Academy Award 15 times (including Best Original Music Score in 1967 for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), but never won a competitive Oscar. However, in 1986, he became the first composer to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Academy.
Presented by Quincy Jones, the Academy Honorary Award was given to North "in recognition of his brilliant artistry in the creation of memorable music for a host of distinguished motion pictures".
