Just saw this morning that Stan Winston, a special effects artist who won four Oscars, died Sunday night at age 62.

Winston died at his Malibu home after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a representative from Stan Winston Studio.

Winston’s 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.
