Bernstein, whose prolific career spanned seven decades and earned him 14 Academy Award nominations, an Oscar win and an Emmy Award, died in his sleep at his Ojai home Wednesday, said his publicist, Cathy Mouton " Among his more notable efforts were the scores for "Some Came Running," "Birdman of Alcatraz," "The Great Escape," "Hawaii," "The Great Santini," "Cast a Giant Shadow," "My Left Foot," "A River Runs Through It," "Devil in a Blue Dress" and "The Age of Innocence "The simple score was played by a small ensemble, at times employing single piano notes, much like a child picking out a tune " "Film music, properly done, should give the film a kind of emotional rail on which to ride," Bernstein told The Associated Press in a 2001 interview That's what Elmer Bernstein does, and that, for me, is his greatest gift " Other credits included "National Lampoon's Animal House," "Airplane!," "Stripes," "Meatballs," "Ghostbusters," "Trading Places" and "The Rainmaker "That's a common question," Mouton said "They were friends and fellow New Yorkers, but they were not related in any way " Although both hailed from New York, he was no relation to the legendary composer Leonard Bernstein elmerbernstein " For "The Man with the Golden Arm," in which Frank Sinatra played a heroin-addicted jazz musician, he discarded the studio orchestra for a jazz ensemble For the landmark western "The Magnificent Seven," Bernstein composed a galloping march that remained famous for years afterward in TV ads for Marlboro cigarettes A memorial service is pending He won an Emmy Award in 1964 for "The Making of The President: 1960 In addition, he scored such movie classics as "The Ten Commandments," "The Magnificent Seven," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Great Escape" and "True Grit "It's one thing to write music that reinforces a film, underscores it â€â€? the traditional sense of stressing, underlining â€â€? or gives it added dramatic muscle," director Martin Scorsese once said â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www " Ironically, it was the vocally anti-communist director Cecil B " He is survived by his wife, Eve, sons Peter and Gregory, daughters Emilie and Elizabeth, and five grandchildren " A supporter of left-wing causes, Bernstein's career was nearly destroyed by the Hollywood Red Hunt of the 1950s when he was summoned before a congressional subcommittee and told to identify communists in the film industry " "To Kill a Mockingbird" presented Bernstein quite a challenge " De Mille asked him, "Do you think you can do for Egyptian music what Puccini did for Japanese music in `Madame Butterfly'?" The young composer accepted the challenge, earning the first of his 14 Oscar nominations in the process com "Without even realizing that you're listening to music that's doing something to your emotions, you will have an emotional experience "Then I realized that the film was about these issues but seen through the eyes of children," he once recalled A piano prodigy who studied composing under Aaron Copland in New York, Bernstein moved to Hollywood in 1950 to work on his first movie score, for the football film "Saturday's Hero "I wasn't important enough to be blacklisted, so I was put on a gray list," he once said Still, major studios refused to hire him, and he resorted to turning out music for low-budget films like "Robot Monster" and "Cat Women of the Moon He refused, saying he'd never attended a Communist party meeting "It's entirely another to write music that graces a film " He also composed several works for symphony orchestras He was 82 " After a few more routine assignments he made his mark with the moody music for the Joan Crawford thriller "Sudden Fear For six weeks he could find no way to approach the story, which concerned racism and the Depression in a small Southern town Although he won an Oscar only once for the 1967 film "Thoroughly Modern Millie" â€â€? considered one of his weaker works â€â€? Bernstein was revered for experimenting with various techniques that bolstered the films Elmer Bernstein, Film Composer, Dead at 82 Aug 19, 4:55 AM EST Film composer Elmer Bernstein, who created a brawny, big-sky theme for "The Magnificent Seven," nerve-jangling jazz for "The Man With The Golden Arm" and heart-rending grace notes for "To Kill a Mockingbird," has died De Mille who broke the gray list by hiring Bernstein to replace the ailing Victor Young on "The Ten Commandments Through 200 movies and 80 television shows, Bernstein would prove that he could adapt to any kind of music Instead of working 507 hours a year to qualify for 12 months of unemployment, performers must work 507 hours over roughly 10 months to win benefits for eight months, under the new plan In October, protesters invaded the set of a popular TV program and seized airtime to demand an end to the reforms However, the new plan forces those in the business to work more to get benefits A summer walkout by performers forced the cancelation of many artistic festivals Artists Protest France Benefit Reforms Dec 3, 2:18 PM EST In their latest colorful protest, about 50 show business workers â€â€? some dressed as Santa Claus â€â€? marched in Paris on Wednesday to denounce government plans to reform their unemployment benefits The protest was the latest by performers, artists, stage hands and other industry workers campaigning for some six months against the reform The government says the reform is needed to help cut state costs Singing defiant lyrics to the tunes of Jingle Bells and other Christmas songs, the demonstrators marched past the capital's gilded Opera Garnier under signs, including one reading "Anger" in bright red letters A special unemployment plan for performing artists takes into account the downtime between jobs typical in show business |
