Grant McCune Passes Away

Posted By Dustin on December 29, 2010

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Grant McCune has passed away at age 67.

"Grant McCune, the special effects artist who won an Oscar for his model work on Star Wars, has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 67.

McCune, who died Monday at his home in Hidden Hills, Calif., won the visual effects Oscar for 1977's Star Wars, the original installment in George Lucas' six-film franchise.

McCune, who created scenes with models and miniature films for more than three decades, also was nominated for an Oscar in 1980 for Star Trek: The Motion Picture."

Special thanks to Yancy for the heads up.
