PeterD Oscar® Winner	Going back a ways further, Alex North composed the scores for a number of plays; most notably, his scores for the theater productions of "Death of a Salesman" (1949) and "The Innocents" (1950) brought him an invitation to Hollywood to score the film version of "A Streetcar Named Desire."
