Renowned Italian special effects artist Carlo Rambaldi, who created ET the Extra Terrestrial, has died aged 86 after a long illness.

Rambaldi worked with many Italian directors including Pier Paolo Pasolini and Dario Argento but he became world famous for his work in Hollywood.

As well as Steven Spielberg's ET, he worked on Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien and John Guillermin's King Kong in 1976.

A true artist and craftsman. Fewer and fewer talents like Rambaldi, Stan Winston, Ray Harryhausen out there.
