Born on May 11, 1888, in what records variously identify as Tyumen or Talachyn, Berlin came into the world as a citizen of the Russian Empire before eventually becoming a citizen of the United States, where he would spend the greater part of his life and work.\n\nBerlin established himself across several overlapping roles in American music and entertainment. He worked as a composer, lyricist, songwriter, pianist, musical theatre composer, film score composer, and film screenwriter. Among the songs he wrote are \"Alexander's Ragtime Band,\" \"White Christmas,\" \"Always,\" \"Blue Skies,\" and \"Remember,\" a body of individual works that represents his output across a long career. His work extended from the stage to the screen, with his contributions to both musical theatre and film scoring reflecting the range of his professional activity.\n\nThe honors Berlin accumulated over the course of his life were considerable in number and variety. In addition to the Academy Award for Best Original Song, he received the Tony Award for Best Original Score, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, and the Medal of Liberty. He was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Taken together, these awards document formal recognition from institutions spanning the recording industry, the theatrical world, the film industry, and the United States federal government.\n\nBerlin died on September 22, 1989, in New York City, at the age of one hundred and one. The Library of Congress authorized his name in its cataloguing records as \"Berlin, Irving, 1888–1989,\" a designation that reflects the full span of his life. That span, from a birth in the Russian Empire to a death in New York City, and the range of his credited works — from individual songs to theatrical scores to film screenplays — are preserved in the formal record that the Library of Congress entry itself represents.","In 1954, Irving Berlin received the Academy Award for Best Original Song, a recognition that marked one peak in a career spanning decades of American popular music.
