Rachel Portman is a British composer best known for her film work. She was the first female composer to win an Academy Award (for Emma in 1996) and went on to be nominated for the critically acclaimed scores to The Cider House Rules in 1999 and Chocolat in 2000. For television, she composed the score for all thirteen episodes of Jim Henson's The Storyteller, and two episodes of The Jim Henson Hour ("Monster Maker" and "Living with Dinosaurs"). Portman composed most of the score for the 2006 film The Lake House.
