If you are a proud "band-geek" like me, you probably know the name - John Williams. He's written the music for some of the most iconic movies in the past 50 years. John Williams is ready to retire from scoring films after he's done with "Indiana Jones 5". And quite honestly, he's earned it . . . he IS 90 years old. He says, quote, "At the moment I'm working on 'Indiana Jones 5', which Harrison Ford . . . who's quite a bit younger than I am . . . I think has announced will be his last film, so, I thought: If Harrison can do it, then perhaps I can, also."
Now to be clear, Harrison HAS NOT made a public announcement about Indy being his last film. And also to be clear, John isn't retiring completely from music. He's currently working with pianist Emanuel Ax on an album.
John has a LONG list of movies he's scored like the "Star Wars" saga, "Jaws", the first two "Jurassic Park" movies, the first three "Harry Potter" movies, "Superman", "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", and the first two "Home Alone" movies.
He's the second-most nominated person in Oscar history with 52. (Walt Disney is first, with 59.) He's won five Oscars, four Golden Globes, and 25 Emmys.
