LEGACY AWARD:

Becky Mancuso-Winding

(Urban Cowboy, Footloose, The Sure Thing, Rush)

Becky Mancuso-Winding has held numerous executive positions in the film and music industry, but is best known for her pioneering work as one of the industry’s first credited feature film music supervisors, having crafted award-winning soundtracks for over forty music oriented films, including Urban Cowboy and Footloose. She was a producer on a number of award winning television specials that included Sesame Street’s Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Sesame Street for ABC, Elmo Saves Christmas for PBS, Cinderella featuring Dorothy Hamill and the Ice Capades for ABC.

 

With a strong conviction to do something more in her career, Mancuso-Winding transitioned from the entertainment industry to healthcare in 2009, making the connection to UCLA Health through her twelve years of serving on the Board of Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA. As UCLA Health Senior Director of Development, Mancuso-Winding currently oversees a number of priority patient programs that attract national media attention, which include UCLA Operation Mend, Daltrey-Townshend Teen & Young Adult Cancer Program at UCLA, UCLA Alzheimer’s Dementia Care Program, and UCLA People-Animal Program (PAC).

ICON AWARD:

Kenny Loggins

Kenny Loggins has left his musical imprint on “the soundtrack of our lives.” His early soundtrack contributions date back to the film A Star Is Born in 1976. And, through the 1980s and 1990s, he became known as "The Soundtrack King." His contributions to some of the most iconic soundtracks to hit films including Caddyshack’s "I'm Alright," Top Gun’s “Danger Zone,” and Footloose’s self-titled theme “Footloose” are among just a few of his prestigious songwriting and performance catalog. From Barbra Streisand’s "I Believe in Love" to Stevie Nicks’ "Whenever I Call You Friend” to “What a Fool Believes" with Michael McDonald (earning Loggins and McDonald the 1980 Grammy for Song of the Year), Kenny Loggins is a legend.

 

With 12 platinum albums, a pair of Grammys, and hits on almost all the Billboard charts, Kenny Loggins moves forward in 2018 doing what he loves doing best: being a singer-songwriter and philanthropist.  The recent release of his latest children’s project, the book Footloose, inspired by his 1985 Oscar® nominated and Grammy® Award-winning “Song of the Year,” has become the first of a new series of children’s books.  Kenny Loggins has a new PBS Soundstage special about to air this year and he is currently developing a children’s entertainment and branding company based on his inspired works.
