- Often wrote songs for stage musicals and film scores
- At the age of seven, he was the youngest student ever accepted at the acclaimed Juilliard School of Music.
- Made film history in 1974 as the first individual ever to win three Academy Awards in one night in all three music categories. One for the song, "The Way We Were" (with co-writers Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman), another for composing the score of Nos plus belles années (1973), and a third for the adaptation of Scott Joplin's ragtime music for L'Arnaque (1973).
- He was the accompanist and straight man for Groucho Marx, when he toured in 1974-1975.
- Marvin Hamlisch won the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the musical "A Chorus Line", collaborating with Nicholas Dante, Michael Bennett, James Kirkwood Jr. and Ed Kleban.
- The sixth person and third man to receive the EGOT. The other recipients (chronologically) are Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin, Robert Lopez, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend, Alan Menken, Jennifer Hudson, Viola Davis and Elton John.
- To put something on Earth that wasn't there yesterday, that's what I like.
- My whole life revolves around dessert.
- Music can make a difference. There is a global nature to music which has the potential to bring all people together.
- [on Nos plus belles années (1973)] I wanted to write something that was uplifting and positive. On the other hand, there is a tremendous amount of bittersweetness to that film, so it's a real duality. And that why I think the song - though it is in a major mode - is quite sad.
