Biography
Friedrich Hollaender, also known as Frederick Hollander, was born on October 18, 1896 in London, was a German composer known for his work in film music. The son of composer Victor Hollaender, he studied at the Stern Conservatory under Engelbert Humperdinck and began composing for theater and revues in Berlin after World War I. His breakthrough came with the score for The Blue Angel (1930), directed by Josef von Sternberg, which included the iconic song "Falling in Love Again" performed by Marlene Dietrich. Due to his Jewish heritage, Hollaender left Nazi Germany in 1933 and settled in the United States, where he composed music for over 100 films. Notable collaborations include works with directors Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder, and George Cukor on films such as Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938) and Sabrina (1954). Hollaender received four Oscar nominations for Best Original Score but did not win. He passed away on January 18, 1976 in Munich.
