Line 4:
In the summer of 1983, independent young filmmaker [[James Cameron]] was confronted with the problem of convincingly turning an unknown Austrian bodybuilder called [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] into a killer metal skeleton peeling with rotting flesh from the future called [[The Terminator]].
 
Just when it seemed that James and Arnold were doomed to an embarrassment made out of an idea that no studio in Hollywood would touch, a makeup artist who gave Chewbacca's father Itchy his face in ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'' and astoundingly refused to work on ''[[ETE.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', walked through the door.
 
His name was Stan Winston.
Line 59:
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: [[Avatar (Film)|The very last project he worked on]] before he died went on to become the highest-grossing movie in the world.
* [[In Memoriam]]: ''[[Terminator Salvation]]''.
* [[Old Shame]]: ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]'', refusing a gig on ''[[ETE.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', ''Invaders From Mars'', and ''A Gnome Called Gnorm'' [his second directorial effort].
