"Rich and Famous" is a film score composed by Georges Delerue for the 1981 film of the same name directed by George Cukor. The film stars Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen as two friends who navigate their careers and personal lives in the entertainment industry. The score was premiered on September 23, 1981, at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. It consists of 12 movements, each corresponding to a different scene or mood in the film. The first movement, "Main Title," sets the tone for the film with a lively and upbeat melody played by a full orchestra. The second movement, "Liz and Merry," introduces the two main characters with a more subdued and introspective theme played on solo piano. Other notable movements include "The Love Scene," which features a romantic and sweeping melody played by strings and woodwinds, and "The Party," which is a lively and energetic piece with a jazzy feel. Overall, the score for "Rich and Famous" is characterized by Delerue's signature use of lush orchestration and melodic themes. It effectively captures the glamour and drama of the entertainment industry while also conveying the emotional depth of the characters' relationships. Delerue was a prolific composer who worked on over 350 films throughout his career, earning three Academy Award nominations and winning one for his score for "A Little Romance" in 1979. His music for "Rich and Famous" is a testament to his talent and versatility as a composer.
