Today, I mourn the passing of one of the greatest - and one of my favourite - makeup/FX makeup/special effects guys ever to grace Hollywood - and one who worked on some of the greatest sci-fi films yet made.
Stand Winston's makeup/FX makeup credits include Edward Scissorhands, Terminator 2, Batman Returns (Tim Burton), John Carpenter's The Thing, AI: Artificial Intelligence, and Constantine. As a special effects man, he created all alien effects for Aliens, as well as working on Jurassic Park, Big Fish, and, most recently, Iron Man. His Stan Winston Special Effects Studio worked on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and at the time of his death, Winston was the special effects supervisor on the new Terminator film, starring Christian Bale.
Seriously. What a guy. What a legacy. How greatly he'll be missed.
