Official obituary notice of Alan Robert Murray and Milt Bradford is not available on the internet. However, in the recent premiere of Yellowstone season 4, there was a tribute paid for both of them.
Alan is not an unknown name in the American entertainment industry. He is a two-time Oscar-winning sound editor. He was nominated for 10 academy awards in his lifetime.
Let’s start off with Murray, who was extremely talented as a sound editor on the series. Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year at the age of 66.
What is remarkable about him is that the vast majority of his credits are big-name Hollywood movies like Joker and A Star is Born. He also worked often with Clint Eastwood. For Yellowstone to have someone of his caliber on board speaks to the talent that they were able to attract.
He won the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing for his work on Letters from Iwo Jima in 2007. Similarly, he has also won his second Academy Award for Best Sound Editing for his work on American Sniper. He shared both awards with Bob Ausman.
Bradford, meanwhile, was a famed horse auctioneer, and a part of the greater Yellowstone universe that this show represents.
He and Taylor Sheridan share a great deal of history within the state of Texas, and he is one of the sort of people who could provide insight and inspiration to a lot of how a fictional Dutton Ranch looks and feels. Bradford passed away earlier this year at the age of 71.
He and Taylor Sheridan have a lot of history in Texas, and he’s the type of person who might provide a lot of information and inspiration for how a fictitious Dutton Ranch looks and feels.
