For more than four decades, Alfred Newman composed the scores for over 200 motion pictures. He won praise for his beautiful score for the 1939 film Wuthering Heights. This is "Cathy's Theme". The film starred Sir Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff and Merle Oberon as Cathy. Although the film is a classic, there were several problems while making it. Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier apparently detested each other. William Wyler's style of film-making was also exasperating for the actors. One scene with Olivier was shot 72 times with little direction each time. Merle Oberon was an Anglo-Indian actress. Trying to hide her Indian heritage she told people that she was from Tasmania, Australia. Another secret she concealed was that her sister Constance, age 12 at the time of Merle's birth, was actually Merle's biological mother. She came clean about these myths a year before she died. She indeed was an exceptionally beautiful woman. I have included many pictures of the wonderful, stunning Merle Oberon in this video. Enjoy! Thanks For Your Comments.
