Stan_winston Stan Winston, an Oscar-winning visual effects artist, has died at age 62.

Winston died at home Sunday evening after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a rep from Stan Winston Studio.

"Stan died peacefully at home surrounded by family," a spokeswoman said.

Winston won four visual effects Oscars and earned multiple nominations. His first Oscar was for James Cameron's "Aliens" (1986). Winston later won two Oscars for "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1992) (visual effects and makeup) and 1993's "Jurassic Park."

Phil Tippett, who shared a visual effects Oscar with Winston on "Jurassic Park," noted that Winston was one of the best in the business.

"Stan contributed to some of the greatest -- fantastic movie characters in motion picture history," Tippett said. "His loss in a great one and he will be missed."

In lieu of flowers, Winston's family is requesting that donations be made to his charities of choice, a list of which will be posted here shortly.

I remember there's a photo in which Stan Winston, Spielberg watched Michael Jackson undergo make-up process in a studio. who got that photo?
 
Re: Stan Winston - Special Effects Creator of GHOSTS passed away!

This is terrible news...God bless Stan and his family. I am grateful that Michael and Stan were able to work together again on Ghosts...Michael's, "Oh Stanley"...cracks me up everytime I watch The Making of Ghosts. He also did work on "The Wiz". Michael has known Stan since the age of 16. What a major loss for all who knew him in the industry, personally and professionally. He will be missed.
