[2] While in Philadelphia, Majewski earned the admiration of Leopold Stokowski, who wrote favorably about her playing in a letter of introduction to Pierre Monteux and Eugene Ormandy: “I have never heard such wonderful playing with such a large and beautiful tone.”[3] Still, Majewski struggled to obtain an orchestral position suitable to her talents, as remarked by her viola colleague Leonard Mogill: “Since at the time women were not considered for a position in one of the major orchestras, she went to Hollywood where she did much better.”[2] She became principal viola in the MGM orchestra in 1939 and also played principal viola with other studio orchestras, including RKO and Universal.
Majewski would go on to a long and storied career as a Hollywood musician, playing on hundreds of film and television scores, including Ben-Hur, North by Northwest, The Dirty Dozen, A Raisin in the Sun, and All the President’s Men.
The important viola d’amore solo that she played in Bernard Herrmann’s score for the 1951 film On Dangerous Ground earned her a spot in the opening credits at the insistence of the composer.
[4] She also played viola d’amore on a score that Herrmann composed for an episode of The Twilight Zone titled "Little Girl Lost.” In addition to her film work, Majewski played in backing orchestras on recordings for many notable singers, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson.
With her strong work ethic and reputation as a selfless and generous person, Majewski served as an inspiration and mentor to generations of Hollywood musicians.
