Drew Struzan, the renowned artist behind some of Hollywood’s most iconic movie posters, has died at the age of 78. His passing was confirmed on his official Instagram account on Tuesday and was attributed to complications from Alzheimer’s disease. Earlier this year, Struzan’s wife, Dylan, had shared that the illness had prevented him from painting or signing autographs.
Struzan’s work includes legendary posters for the Back to the Future trilogy, capturing Marty McFly stepping out of the DeLorean, as well as the Indiana Jones sequels, Star Wars special editions and prequel trilogy, and The Force Awakens. His signature style combined airbrushed realism with a hand-crafted feel. Beyond films, Struzan also created artwork for advertising, comic books, commemorative stamps, and collectible plates.
His extensive portfolio spans 1980s classics such as Blade Runner, The Thing, E.T., First Blood, Risky Business, The Goonies, and the Police Academy series, along with films like The Muppet Movie, Hook, An American Tail, and the first two Harry Potter movies. Struzan’s final poster was for the animated How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, completing the artwork for the release of the third film, The Hidden World.
