We were saddened to hear about the passing of Taryn Power, who played Dione in 'Sinbad & the Eye of the Tiger'. The daughter of Hollywood legend Tyrone Power, her performance in Ray's 1977 classic will long be remembered. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

The Skeleton battle in 'Jason' took Ray four months to animate- completely alone, and responsible for the movement of each of the seven models. An incredible scene, and testament to the man's genius, creativity and imagination #HarryhausenWatchParty

Ray Harryhausen, animating the legendary original armatured model for Medusa from 'Clash of the Titans' one last time. Ray left all of his models in specific final poses, which is how they remain in our archive & exhibitions! #Harryhausen100

The Figurehead from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Hair inspired by Elsa Lanchester's Bride of Frankenstein. Ray perfectly portrays the implacable movements of a possessed wooden statue, tearing itself away from its ship after being brought to life by the evil Koura #rayharryhausen

The Figurehead from ‘The Golden Voyage of Sinbad’. looking fantastic & menacing, with hair inspired by Elsa Lanchester's "Bride of Frankenstein”. In a similar fashion to Talos, the Figurehead sequence is most impressive in the way that Ray portrays her implacable movements
