enjoyed composing the music and cowriting
the lyrics for Hairspraywith Scott Wittman. For

Me, for which they won absolutely nothing. As
a composer and arranger, Marc's film creditsdate back to the silents and include "When
Harry Met Sally:' "Beaches," "Misery," "City
Slickers," "The Addams Family," "A Few Good
Men," "Sister Act:' "Sleepless in Seattle:' "TheFirst Wives Club:' "Patch Adams:' "The Ameri
can President," "George of the Jungle," "South

for an Oscar and lost every time. As her music
director and co-producer, Marc brought his long

the kiss of death to any talk show host who
sees him approaching with a musical tribute
under his arm. Marc was Emmy nominated for
writing on "Saturday Night Live" (the Sweeney
Sisters) and an actual Emmy Award winner

Academy Awards. His arrangements for Harry
Connick Jr. were Grammy-nominated, as was

"Webbie"-winning PROP B: The Musical, had

as a couple.
