Oscar-winning composer Elmer Bernstein, who wrote some of Hollywood's most memorable music, including scores for "The Magnificent Seven" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie," has died at age 82, his publicist said on Thursday.

Bernstein, whose work spanned some 200 films and TV shows over six decades, succumbed to a lengthy, undisclosed illness on Wednesday at his home in Ojai, California, about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles, according to spokeswoman Cathy Mouton.
