PETER VLAHOS, 96
Died February 10, 2013. Two-time Academy Award winner whose blue-screen and green screen techniques on movies like "Mary Poppins" and "Ben Hur" made the modern blockbuster possible.
"Created the whole of composite photography from 'Mary Poppins dancing with the penguin, going up to 'Life of Pi.'"
He also did "The Love Bug" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." His technique was also used in "Star Wars" and "Avatar."
And, I really love my movies. Thanks, Mr. Vlahos.
