The son of a prominent Viennese musician, Hamlisch was working on Broadway even while attending college, as Barbra Streisand's rehearsal pianist for "Funny Girl."

Working quickly and inexpensively, Hamlisch created a demand for himself in the world of medium-budget "personal" film productions like "Frank" and Eleanor Perry's "The Swimmer" (1968) and Woody Allen's "Bananas." In 1972, he was the accompanist/arranger of "Groucho Marx'" S.R.O. Carnegie Hall... Full Biography
