Boo! Where’s Bela Lugosi!?!
you guys forgot little carol ann from poltergesit 3. she died before the movie ended and they had to change the ending. also vic morrow in the twilight zone movie
horrible shit happens to everyone. get over it.
Wow, I did not know the tragic story of Phil Hartman.
didn’t J.T. Walsh die before The Negotiator was released?
you also forgot John Cazale (he had bone cancer) from Deer hunter. (I haven’t seen Deer hunter but want to)
What, no mention of Orson Wells and Transformers: The Movie?
nobody sounds like their not over it. there is so much post production work in film that the art form is a bit rare in that the artists don’t always live to see a result. people comment on sad stuff. get over it. if they knew your puppy died they’d comment on that too. get over it.
What about the EV-1 from ‘Who Killed The Electric Car”
oliver Reed?
Very sad they work very hard and most of them are so talented especially HEATH LEDGER,
Quite a shame. These are some good films. I think I can name a few more celebs too.
Edward G. Robinson/”Soylent Green” (1973)
Eyes wide shut-Kubrick (OK a director, but still)
Vic Morrow and the Twilight Zone movie.
During filming of a war scene the blade of a helicopter cut the top of his head off.
The Batman film could do a gracious act of kindness by generating money from Hollywood ect. to create a substance abuse intervention and relapse program in honor of Mr. Kieth Ledgers name.
Also Lloyd Bridges in Meeting Daddy (2000).
Hollywood Execs have enough influence to do an honorable thing by creating state of the art substance abuse prevention/intervention programs throughout the country/world in hopes to save more of Hollywood elites and heavyweights.
How many precious souls are we going to loose to street drugs and over prescribing doctors?
When is the Medical association going to link what one doctor is prescribing with the next?
Jack Nicholson is right. Had he been hired as a consultant for the role of the “Joker” he might have been able to coach
Mr. Ledger in a way that could have saved his life.
bruce no;1 film
I want to put my Thumb up Alicia Silverstones Asshole
Another actor who did not see his last movie was “Young Frankenstein’s” Marty Feldman. He died while making Yellowbeard with most of the Monty Python crew. He and friend Peter Boyle were together as Marty got food poisoning and had a heart attack while in South America for the filming.
