Composer Conti, wife give movie scores to LSU

The Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning composer who wrote scores for movies including “Rocky,” “The Right Stuff ” and “The Karate Kid” is giving them to Louisiana State University.

William “Bill” Conti and his wife, Shelby Cox Conti, are donating a lifetime of original scores to LSU, where they met as students.

The William and Shelby Conti Papers are expected to arrive sometime in the fall, LSU Libraries spokeswoman Sigrid Kelsey said in an email Thursday.
