LOS ANGELES -- Marilyn Bergman, the Oscar-winning lyricist who teamed with husband Alan Bergman on"The Way We Were,""How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" and hundreds of other songs, died at her Los Angeles home Saturday. She was 93.
"If one really is serious about wanting to write songs that are original, that really speak to people, you have to feel like you created something that wasn't there before - which is the ultimate accomplishment, isn't it?" Marilyn Bergman told The Huffington Post in 2013."And to make something that wasn't there before, you have to know what came before you."
Fans would have struggled to identify a picture of the Bergmans, or even recognize their names, but they had no trouble summoning the words to"The Way We Were": "To those of us who loved the Bergmans' lyrics, Marilyn takes a bit our our hearts and souls with her today," tweeted Norman Lear, creator of"Maude" and"Good Times."
