He broke the Host above the chalice.

"Peace I leave you. My peace I give you..."

He tucked the Host inside his mouth and swallowed the papery taste of despair.

Memoriam





"You have to understand that rightly or wrongly, I consider myself an artist and I consider the work that we do art. In helping to tell stories by creating these characters. I came out as an actor. I am not a technician. I am a techno-ignorant, but I love creating characters and telling wonderful stories."


Stan Winston
April 17, 1946 - June 15, 2008
