Elmer Bernstein, 82

Film score composer Elmer Bernstein has died after a long illness. “Although he only won one Oscar during his 50-year career, for Thoroughly Modern Millie, he was nominated 14 times, most recently in 2002. As an accomplished pianist, Bernstein moved to Hollywood from New York in 1950 as his movie career took off. Among more than 200 film and TV credits were the scores for To Kill a Mockingbird, Birdman of Alcatraz, The Ten Commandments and The Age of Innocence.”
