R.I.P. Stan Winston

Special-Effects Wizard Winston Dies At 62


Stan Winston, the special-effects wizard, whose work was seen in such films as The Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and, most recently, Iron Man, died Sunday of multiple myeloma at age 62 at his home in Malibu, Ca, his company, Stan Winston Studio, said Monday. In a statement, Steven Spielberg said, "My world would not have been the same without Stan. What I will miss most is his easy laugh every time he said to me, 'Nothing is impossible.'"
