All of the excitement that arrives with each year’s Primetime Emmys also sadly comes alongside the In Memoriam segment that honors those who are no longer with us. This year, however, also featured an unfortunate mistake that saw the wrong person being shown for the late composer Andre Previn.
As reported by Deadline, Andre Previn is a four-time Oscar-winning composer and conductor who died at the age of 89 in February. When it was his turn to be honored during the In Memoriam segment, the picture that appeared was actually Grammy-winning composer Leonard Slatkin, who is 75 and very much still alive.
