Title: Stan Winston passes away.
Post by: Ruffneck on June 16, 2008, 02:03:44 PM

The guy who made Arnold into the Terminator has sadly passed away.

Special effects and makeup guru Stan Winston passed away on Sunday, June 15th in Los Angeles, California. He was 62.

Winston died at home Sunday evening after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma.

Winston was best known for his work for the "Terminator," "Jurassic Park" and "Predator" series, and Edward Scissorhands. The 3-time Oscar winner most recently worked on Iron Man and was special effects supervisor on the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.

Winston won Oscars for Aliens (1986), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1992) and Jurassic Park (1993).

To the best of my knowledge Stan was working on "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" (possibly Terminator 4).

RIP, Stan
