From the page: "Stan Winston, an Oscar-winning visual effects artist, has died at age 62.
Winston died at his Malibu home Sunday evening after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a rep from Stan Winston Studio.
"Stan died peacefully at home surrounded by family," a spokeswoman said."
A sad day for all of us who loved his work in sci-fi movies over the years. I like this news article best because it also shows him standing around a bunch of his Terminator creations, but Stan was also responsbile for the Predator (guess which series) creation of the Alien (yep, probably guess that series too), about half of the penguins you see on screen in Batman Returns, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, the robots in Iron Man, and a host of other movies.
Special effects won't be the same without him.
