Marilyn Bergman, who with her husband, Alan Bergman, gave the world memorable lyrics about “misty watercolor memories” and “the windmills of your mind” and won three Academy Awards, died on Jan. 8 at her home in Los Angeles. She was 93.

The Bergmans, working with composer Marvin Hamlisch, won the 1974 best-song Academy Award for “The Way We Were,” from the Robert Redford-Barbra Streisand romance of the same name. The album of that movie’s score also won the Bergmans their only Grammy Award. Their other best-song Oscar, “The Windmills of Your Mind,” was written with Michel Legrand for the 1968 film, “The Thomas Crown Affair.” Their third Oscar was for the score of Ms. Streisand’s 1983 film “Yentl,” also written with Mr. Legrand.

Aside from the Oscar winners, their other popular songs included the title track of Frank Sinatra’s album “Nice ‘n’ Easy,” written with the songwriter Lew Spence; the ballad “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life,” from the 1969 movie “The Happy Ending,” with music by Mr. Legrand; and “Where Do You Start?,” written with Johnny Mandel.

The Bergmans also won three Emmy Awards: for the score of the 1976 TV movie “Sybil,” written with Leonard Rosenman; “Ordinary Miracles,” written with Mr. Hamlisch; and “A Ticket to Dream,” another Hamlisch creation. On TV, they wrote the lyrics to the theme songs for the hit sitcoms “Maude,” “Alice,” “Good Times” and “Brooklyn Bridge, and the drama series “In the Heat of the Night.”

The Bergmans were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1980, and jointly received a Trustees Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 2013.
