Veteran publicist Beth Krakower, a respected and tireless promoter for media-music composers and soundtracks, died Wednesday morning at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 46.
Krakower was beloved in the film-music community as a smart, kind and eloquent spokesperson for composers and their projects. Among her clients were "Mission: Impossible" composer Lalo Schifrin (who was just announced yesterday as the recipient of an honorary Oscar) as well as composers Bear McCreary, Blake Neely, Jeff Beal, Cliff Martinez, Kurt Farquhar and Ryan Shore, among others.
Beal, who won Emmys for his TV music with Krakower as publicist, wrote earlier today about "being in her orbit of joy, dedicated work, and brilliance." He spoke of "working so hard for so many of us collectively." Neely called her "a wonderful human [who] lived life the right way: optimism, kindness, laughter and love." Shore referred to her as "passionate, talented, insightful, courageous, generous, dedicated, fearless."
