Stan Winston<\/a>, Oscar-winning special effects master who designed the dinosaurs for“Jurassic Park”\u00a0<\/a>and the look of\u00a0“The Terminator,”<\/a>\u00a0died Sunday evening at his Malibu home. He was 62.<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>The Oscar and Emmy-winning f\/x and makeup designer died after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a representative from Stan Winston Studio.<\/p>\n

Winston, who set the industry standard for robotic\/animatronic creatures and prosthetic makeup, won four Oscars: a visual effects Oscar for 1986’s\u00a0“Aliens,”<\/a>\u00a0visual effects and makeup Oscars for 1992’s\u00a0“Terminator 2: Judgment Day”<\/a>\u00a0and a visual effects Oscar for 1993’s “Jurassic Park,” for which he created animatronic dinosaurs that complemented the film’s digitally animated creatures.<\/p>\n

The conference room at Winston’s Van Nuys studio was long one of the most effective sales tools any effects company could hope for. It was a combination museum and resume, with many of the most memorable movie creatures of recent decades — including the queen alien from “Aliens,” \"EDWARD<\/a>the Predator and even Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator — lunging toward the conference table on all sides.<\/p>\n

Steven Spielberg<\/a>, who worked with Winston on several films, said in a statement: “Stan was a fearless and courageous artist\/inventor, and for many projects, I rode his cutting edge from teddy bears to aliens to dinosaurs. 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.’\u00a0“<\/p>\n

Winston refused to discuss his illness outside his intimate circle, and many were surprised at news of his death.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife, Karen; son Matt, an actor; daughter Debbie; a brother and four grandchildren.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
