Having already developed and interest in electromechanics and anatomy from his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, Rambaldi began his career in visual effects in 1957, creating a fire-breathing animatronic dragon for ''The Dragon's Blood'', an Italian fantasy epic based on ''Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung''. By 1963, Rambaldi would fully devote his career to the field, working with such esteemed directors as Creator/MarioBava, Creator/FedericoFellini, Creator/PierPaoloPasolini, and Creator/DarioArgento. However, it would be his work on ''Film/KingKong1976'' that would gain him international attention as well as his first Academy Award.

[[caption-width-right:350:Carlo Rambaldi with [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial one]] of his many fantastical creations.]]
Carlo Rambaldi (September 15, 1925 - August 10, 2012) was an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-winning Italian visual effects artist.
Having already developed and interest in electromechanics and anatomy from his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, Rambaldi began his career in visual effects in 1957, creating a fire-breathing animatronic dragon for ''The Dragon's Blood'', an Italian fantasy epic based on ''Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung''. By 1963, Rambaldi would fully devote his career to the field, working with such esteemed directors as Creator/MarioBava, Creator/FedericoFellini, Creator/PierPaoloPasolini, and Creator/DarioArgento. However, it would be his work on ''Film/KingKong1976'' that would gain him international attention as well as his first Academy Award.
Over the next decade, Rambaldi would become the film industry's go-to guy if you needed someone to create strange, unearthly creatures. By far his most famous creations would be mechanical head effects for the Xenomorph in ''Film/{{Alien}}'' and the animatronic puppet for the titular character in ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'', both of which earned him further Academy Awards. Rambaldi retired from the visual effects business in 1989, [[ButNowIMustGo believing that advancements in CGI had rendered his work obsolete]]. His final assignment would be the 1988 production ''Primal Rage'' (no relation to [[VideoGame/PrimalRage the video game]]), directed by his son Vittorio.
Rambaldi was married to Bruna Basso, with whom he had three children. He died in 2012 following a long illness.
