Lalo Schifrin, the award-winning composer behind the iconic Mission: Impossible theme, has passed away at the age of 93. According to his family, Schifrin died peacefully in his Los Angeles home on Thursday, June 26, surrounded by loved ones.

Schifrin's illustrious career spanned over six decades, earning him four Grammy Awards and six Oscar nominations. His Mission: Impossible theme, which won two Grammy Awards in 1968, became an instant classic and was used for decades, starting with the original 1960s TV series and later being revived for the Tom Cruise-led film franchise in 1996.

In addition to his work on Mission: Impossible, Schifrin composed scores for various films, including The Amityville Horror, Dirty Harry, and Cool Hand Luke. He also collaborated with legendary directors such as Clint Eastwood, for whom he composed several film scores.

Schifrin's contributions to the world of music went beyond film scores. He began his career in jazz music, working with greats like Stan Getz, Cal Tjader, and Bob Brookmeyer. He also wrote the grand finale musical performance for the 1990 World Cup soccer championship in Italy, featuring renowned vocalists Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, and José Carreras.

In 2018, Schifrin was awarded the third-ever honorary Oscar from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, recognizing his unique musical style and influential contributions to the art of film scoring.

Schifrin is survived by his sons, Ryan and William, daughter, Frances, and wife, Donna. His legacy will continue to inspire and entertain generations to come.
