Stan Winston - cancer claims another talent

And now for something completely different (from the previous post for today, that is)...


It's being reported today that Stan Winston has died of cancer at the age of 62 after a seven-year battle with the disease.

I haven't loved every single thing he's done, but I've loved quite a lot of it, and there's no denying his giant stature in the world of special effects. Who didn't gasp upon seeing the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" or the terminators? I would imagine that there are a lot of people in the special effects industry working now and in the years to come who owe their careers and inspiration to Stan Winston.

The industry has definitely lost one of its giants today.
