Argentine musician Lalo Schifrin, composer of the "Mission: Impossible" theme song and the scores for dozens of Hollywood movies and TV shows, has died at age 93, media outlets reported on Thursday.
Schifrin's son, William, confirmed his father's death, The Hollywood Reporter said. An agent for Schifrin did not immediately respond to an e-mail from Reuters.
Born in Buenos Aires, Schifrin became a fan of American jazz in his teens. He was also a pianist and conductor.
Schifrin received six Oscar nominations for movie scores that included the 1967 film "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Amityville Horror" in 1979.
He won four Grammys, including one for the "Mission: Impossible" theme set to an unconventional 5/4 music time signature. The song was written for the CBS television spy drama that debuted in 1966 and became a blockbuster film franchise still running today.
Schifrin received an honorary Oscar for his lifetime of work in 2018, where Clint Eastwood had presented him with the award.
