toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=1&itemid=13085I'm really saddened by this news. Not only is it too young to die, but the guy was responsible and heavily involved in creating some of the most iconic imagery of our/my generation. He's a real legend.

A true loss to the industry. Everyone has seen his work, and not many can have that said about them.

Stan Winston was.....(and what a maestro at that):
To my mind a visionary (not as in the cartoon) visual effects/animatronic/makeup artist that has brought us the terminator, aliens, jonny scissor hands, in fact just about any 80s movie worth its salt for creature effects is likely to have him in the credits somewhere. Before the days of CG, this guy suspended disbelief to millions of film viewers. He's the name always in the credits (mostly)...

The man was a genius and his work will live on forever to be sure. Even in the modern CG times, he worked on some awesome stuff like Iron Man. Like I said, genius.
