RIP Roger Kastel (died 15 November 2023). He's most famous for the Jaws movie poster. It's worth reading up on the story behind that. In short Paul Bacon did the original cover for Peter Benchley's novel in 1974. Roger did the second, now very familiar, version which he later allowed to be used as the movie poster (albeit with a bit of nudity covered up). At some point in the 1970's his original artwork of Jaws went missing and I don't think it was ever recovered.
Roger also did one of the movie posters for The Empire Strikes Back and Doc Savage among others.
