==Life and career==
Hayton was born in New York City, New York, to a Jewish family. He was initially a pianist in jazz groups led by Frankie Trumbauer, Bix Beiderbecke, Red Nichols, Joe Venuti and others. He also played with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra.〔(Lennie Hayton IMDb )〕 Hayton composed "Apple Blossoms" with Joe Venuti, Frankie Trumbauer, and Eddie Lang. His other compositions included "Flying Fingers", "The Stage is Set", "Mood Hollywood" with Jimmy Dorsey, and "Midnight Mood". Hayton also co-arranged the Hoagy Carmichael composition "Stardust" with Artie Shaw, for Shaw's recording of it in 1940, for Bluebird records.〔() Artie Shaw: Stardust〕
He became a musical director for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1940 and guided it through its prime years as forerunner of the movie musical. Up until his retirement from the post in 1953, he racked up four Academy Award nominations: for the Judy Garland musicals ''The Harvey Girls'' (1946) and ''The Pirate'' (1948). Hayton won the Academy Award for music for ''On the Town'' with Roger Edens in 1950.〔 Lennie Hayton also arranged the music for ''Singin' in the Rain'' in 1952.〔 Hayton notched up two more nominations—one in 1968 for the unsuccessful Julie Andrews musical ''Star!'' and his last the following year for the Barbra Streisand vehicle ''Hello, Dolly!'' co-composed with Lionel Newman, which brought him his second and final Oscar. In 1970, Hayton arranged Frank Sinatra's first attempt at the George Harrison composition ''Something''.〔(Sinatra Clover Online )〕 However, Sinatra later began using a Nelson Riddle arrangement of the song in concert performances and in 1979 he put the Riddle version on record.
Lennie Hayton's first marriage was to Helen Maude Gifford, also named Bubs Gelderman, who died in 1943.〔 Lennie Hayton met Lena Horne when both were under contract to MGM and married her in December 1947 in Paris.〔(Obituary of Horne )〕 Throughout the marriage, Hayton also acted as Horne’s music director. Facing the stresses and pressures of an interracial relationship, which was still relatively rare in that time period.〔(Vh1 biography )〕 Hayton and Horne had a tumultuous marriage. She later admitted in a 1980 ''Ebony'' interview she had married Hayton primarily to advance her career, and cross the "color-line" in show business, but had learned to love him very much. Unfortunately Horne and Hayton were separated for most of the sixties. Always a heavy drinker and smoker, Hayton died of heart disease while separated from Horne, in Palm Springs, California in 1971.〔Gavin 383–384〕 He was buried in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Hollywood, California.
