| Jill Clayburgh (1944 - ) Mrs. David Rabe (playwright/screenwriter) |
| The Terminal Man (1974) [Angela Black]: Stabbed repeatedly by George Segal on top of a waterbed when he has a seizure. Gable and Lombard (1976) [Carole Lombard]: Killed (off-screen) in a plane crash. The movie opens with James Brolin near the site of the crash, waiting for news; the rest of the movie proceeds in flashback, then returns to the crash site when a policeman informs James that there were no survivors. Griffin and Phoenix: A Love Story (1976) [Sarah Phoenix]: Dies (off-screen) of leukemia; we last see her lying in bed in the hospital, followed by a scene of Peter Falk visiting her gravesite. Reason for Living: The Jill Ireland Story (1991) [Jill Ireland]: Presumably dies of breast cancer. (I haven't seen this, so I don't know whether it depicts her death or ends before that point.) Honor Thy Father and Mother: The True Story of the Menendez Murders (1994) [Kitty Menendez]: Shot to death, along with James Farentino, by their sons (Billy Warlock and David Beron). (I haven't seen this, but I know the real-life case.) (See also Beverly D'Angelo in the competing 1994 TV-movie Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills.) |
