Legendary composer John Williams has been a fixture in the entertainment industry since the 1950s, winning 5 Oscars and earning 52 nominations, more than any person alive today. This year, Williams turned 90, a milestone recently celebrated at the Kennedy Center where he took to the podium to conduct some of his most iconic melodies from movies like “Jaws,” “Indiana Jones,” and “Star Wars.” NBC’s Joe Fryer reports in this week’s Sunday Spotlight.
“John Williams will be known, understood and appreciated forever into the future as a great, great American artist, if not the greatest of our era.”
— Deborah Rutter, President of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
