No.

Was he known for playing an instrument? (As opposed to a singer.)
No. I'm sure he did play an instrument, but not for fame and fortune.

ANSWERS / KNOWN FACTS:
1. Male.
2/9. English speaking American.
3/4. Died after 1950.
5. Not notable for any particular diet.
6/8/10/11/13. Musician / entertainer (among other skills); but not particularly a TV personality / not comedian / not known as instrument player.
7. Not involved in politics.
14. No children went on to become celebrities.

I fear my answer of "entertainer" might be leading people astray, so I'll give my standard 15th Question Clue a little early. "Entertainer" does not necessarily imply someone who is famous for performing on a stage, screen or recording. Of all the descriptions of his art guessed so far, "musician" is the closest to the mark.

I'll invite you to clarify that without charging this as a question. Do you mean did he write the score of a film that won Best Picture Oscar? Or did he win Best Score Oscar? Or something else?
