Actress with the most onscreen deaths

(Bolding mine)

Well, now I’m confused.

D’oh! :smack: I don’t blame you. I had a brain fart and confused him with Sean Young. (Hey, I’m old. :()

Meanwhile, I’ve seen Agnes Moorehead mentioned as dying a lot in films.

Hilary Swank? She is the queen of Oscar-bait tragic deaths.

the current lead is Lucy Lawless. compare this to John Hurt, who has apparently died in 40 movies, or Sean Bean in 20 movies. that is number of movies, folks, not specific deaths.

I got **Boys Don’t Cry **, Million Dollar Baby and Amelia.. And I just realized I don’t know that I ever actually seen a Hillary Swank movie so I can’t comment on any other possibilities.

Hmm, how do you like that? I learned something today.

Strike that. I saw** Insomnia**. Think she makes it through that one alive.

Resident Evil
4 Fast 4 Furious

But she comes back in those

IMDB is right. I litterally did not recongize Vasquez as the same actress from The Presidio, Lethal Weapon 2, T2, or Titanic although I remember those characters.

I believe the death you’re referencing was her career.

Curtis always played the Final Girl in the slasher flicks. Therefore her onscreen death-count is quite low.

Just came into mention Bette Davis:

Of Human Bondage - dies of tuberculosis

Dark Victory - succumbs to a brain tumor

Jezebel - debatable. She is still alive at the final fadeout, but on her way to a “typhoid colony” where she will certainly die.

the Letter - stabbed to death by Gale Sondergaard.
Burnt Offerings - forget exactly how, but I know she buys the farm (everyone does in that flick.)

Death on the Nile - Shot to death (just seconds before she was to reveal whom she eyewitnessed leaving the scene of a previous murder.)

That’s six that I know of, there are probably more.

can’t believe it! I came to mention Bette Davis & I see Don Draper beat me to it!

I think the most likely actress would be someone who had a VERY long career, and who worked steadily in the Golden Age of Hollywood. The more roles an actress has, the more times she’ll die on screen.

How many movies did Bette Davis die in? I’d nominate her, just because she had so MANY movies.

She definitely died in Of Human Bondage
She PROBABLY dies at the end of Dark Victory

Any others?

Lucy Liu? Love Kills, Kill Bill Vol 1, The Man With The Iron Fists.

So that’s three…
…plus the several hundred Lucy Liubots from Futurama. :slight_smile:

It’s gotta be someone like Linnea Quigley, who has played roles such as “Teen #3” in a ridiculous number of cheap slasher movies.

let’s see. i count 11 onscreen deaths, 1 offscreen and 1 zombie death. that’s a total of 12 onscreen deaths. no clones, no time travel.

Oh, yeah? What about nuking the hangar bay full of naked Grace Park’s in Battlestar Galactica? :dubious:

Okay, that was off-screen, but still…

And it would have worked too, if it hadn’t been for those damn meddling casting directors!!

For Charlize Theron, you have:

Snow White and the Huntsman
Prometheus
The Road
Æon Flux
Sweet November
Reindeer Games
The Devils Advocate
2 Days in the Valley

Maybe a few others.

Are we sure that Wile E. Coyote was a male?
