Vida temprana
Nacido en Haverstraw, Nueva York , Heindorf trabajó como pianista en una sala de cine en Mechanicville en su adolescencia. En 1928, se mudó a la ciudad de Nueva York, donde trabajó como arreglista musical antes de dirigirse a Hollywood. Obtuvo su primer trabajo como orquestador en MGM , donde trabajó en Hollywood Revue de 1929 , y posteriormente se fue de gira tocando el piano para Lupe Vélez . [1]
Años de Hollywood
Después de completar este compromiso, se unió a Warner Bros. , componiendo y / o arreglando y dirigiendo música exclusivamente para el estudio durante casi cuarenta años. Heindorf, junto con Georgie Stoll en MGM , eran aficionados al jazz bien conocidos en la comunidad del entretenimiento negro por emplear músicos minoritarios en sus departamentos de música de estudio. [2]
Emprendió la dirección musical de la película de regreso de Judy Garland , A Star is Born (1954) e hizo un cameo como él mismo en la secuencia de la fiesta de estreno donde el personaje de Jack Carson lo felicita por su gran puntaje.
Entre los otros créditos de pantalla de Heindorf se encuentran 42nd Street , Gold Diggers of 1935 , The Great Lie , Knute Rockne All American , Kings Row , Night and Day , Tea for Two , A Streetcar Named Desire , The Jazz Singer , No Time for Sergeants , The Helen Morgan Story , The Music Man , Marjorie Morningstar , Damn Yankees , Auntie Mame , Finian’s Rainbow y su último musical para Jack L. Warner , 1776 .
Premios de la Academia
Entre 1943 y 1969 fue nominado a dieciocho premios de la Academia, 17 nominaciones a mejor puntaje y 1 nominación a mejor canción . Heindorf ganó tres, en la categoría de Mejor partitura de un musical, por Yankee Doodle Dandy , This is the Army y The Music Man . Sus victorias en las dos películas anteriores lo convirtieron en el primero en lograr victorias consecutivas en una categoría musical. [3]
Grabaciones de jazz
Heindorf era amigo y admirador del pianista de jazz Art Tatum . Fue anfitrión de dos actuaciones de piano Tatum en su casa de Hollywood en 1950 y 1955 para sus amigos en común. Heindorf grabó estos conciertos privados, que se emitieron como Art Tatum: 20th Century Piano Genius en el sello Verve .
Vida personal
Los registros del censo de 1930 muestran que Heindorf vivió con el líder y compositor Arthur Lange en Hollywood Hills. [4]
Heindorf murió en Tarzana, California , a los 71 años, y supuestamente fue enterrado con su bastón de dirección favorito.
El hijo de Heindorf, Michael, también fue compositor de películas.
