Wayne Fitzgerald, the king of title sequences




Wayne Fitzgerald, Master of Films’ Opening Moments, Dies at 89.  (The New York Times, 10/9/2019)
Wayne Fitzgerald put a thrown-pillow ballet at the beginning of “Pillow Talk.” He opened “Bonnie and Clyde” with an evocative montage of vintage photographs. He started “Footloose” off with two dozen pairs of dancing feet. 



Mr. Fitzgerald, a prolific designer of title sequences for film and television whose work included some of the most memorable opening moments those mediums have seen, died on Sept. 30 on Whidbey Island in Washington State. He was 89.
