John Wayne was the GOAT and he was the best cowboy actor. I know he has controversy but idc he was a damn icon and legend. Will always be the best. Rip John Wayne 😢
Vincent Price was a true gentleman, and a gentle man; such an articulate artist with a wicked sense of humour and amazing voice. I grew up on the Hammer horror films, and have to thank Vincent introducing me to Edgar Allen Poe. R.I.P. Sir, you are dearly missed.
Raul Julia's over-the-top _tour de force_ performance of M. Bison in the cheesy video game flick, "Street Fighter", as a gift to his children knowing he was dying of stomach cancer, deserves an honorable mention.
That's why it always bugged me how big a deal people made about Micheal B Jordan in Black Panther. Dude is good but he could not come close to pulling of T'Challa. Or a lot of Boseman's other parts.
Vincent Price added a notable elegance and subtle humor to horror that will never be matched. And he had a twinkle in his eyes that Santa Claus would envy, even when Price was at his creepiest. He was also quite funny as a person too! In 1983 he was on Family Feud with some of the Batman cast (TV show). With Adam West and the Batgang, and Price was really funny!😊
Even now it's unbelievable that Vincent Price's last performance on screen was, of an old man dying. Only for Vincent to pass on for real only 3 years after Edward Scissorhands was made. But Vincent did an amazing job portraying the Inventor!
Rest in Peace to all of these celebrities, who are no longer with us. Chadwick Boseman definitely should have won the Best Actor Oscar in 2021. Even Anthony Hopkins, the actual winner, was sure that the award was Boseman's.
"Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Comes marching home"
Vincent Price was a great actor and he was so dedicated to his craft. Most movies he did had fires in it and he had to breath that air. He died from copd. R.I.P. goat.
Surprised Raul Julia wasn't mentioned for his role in Street Fighter. It's a bad movie but he stole every scene that he was in. He accepted the role knowing he was dying of cancer, and you can really tell with how gaunt he looks compared to him say in Addams Family. But his kids loved Street Fighter so he did it for them. "For you the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me? It was Tuesday." RIP Raul Julia 👏
I think it may because he didn’t have a scene like the others here in the list. The it was just a Tuesday for me was a great piece but it’s more about dismissing both his actions and the pain of his foes known or unknown. Also Raul Julia is a force of nature and he steals every movie he was ever in
I have a special edition of Soylent Green and you get to see Robinson make a little speech behind the scenes, when they give him a cake to celebrate his birthday. His thanks is humbling and he finishes by saying that he hopes to celebrate many more birthdays, despite knowing (I think he must have known) this was his last. Very moving.
God bless all these talent actors and actresses for still making a great moment for cinema. Despite the fact that they were dying in front of the camera. You did everything you did to make memories for us thank you.
Edward Scissorhands was the film that first introduced me to the great Vincent Price. Knowing that it was his final performane before dying makes watching the film that much more emotional to watch.
Their monologues in the movies reflecting their final days, knowing that they will never perform in front of a camera is devastating. Life is short, but they will always be in our hearts and in the theatre for all eternity rest in peace to all those actors.
Let us not forget Catherine E Coulson, who played The Log Lady in Twin Peaks. She died the day after her final shooting in Twin Peaks: The Return, where she was actually dying as the character.
Came in to make this comment. They probably didn't include her so as not to overly showcase Lynch productions, but still unforgivable to leave her off. She practically delivered her own eulogy in character and it's the most haunting thing ever committed to screen.
Something I learned from listening to Richard Long's daughter on the podcast Rarified Heir, that's a bit of a background. The last film he did just before he passed at 47 was a tv movie called "Death Cruise," and he was offered it when he was in the last throes of heart failure, finished with working but he got the script and wanted to do it because he told his family, "I get to play an elderly man, and I'm never going to be an elderly man." I always thought actors who did their final work knowing they were dying might have done it just because they could not stop acting. I haven't heard too many express a specific reason in their real lives like this one.
It’s crazy that T’Challa died three times three movies in a row. His solo movie, the next MCU movie, Infinity War and the sequel to his solo movie. We all miss you, Chadwick.
Hanging up (2000) isn't the most critically acclaimed movie, but it would fit perfectly here. Walter Matthau plays Lou Mozell who reconnects with his daughters right before he dies in his hospital bed. He was in poor health during filming and died less than 8 months later.
Pedro Armendáriz starring as Kerim Bey in From Russia with Love is also a tragic yet memorable performance. He was diagnosed with cancer, making him one of the many cases connected to the filming of The Conqueror near a nuclear testing site. In his final movie he is killed off screen. Seeing him play the life affirming cheerful persona of his character is impressive. Finding him dead, lying on the floor all the more tragical.
Hearing that Richard Farnsworth unalived himself is even more heartbreaking. He was always so soft spoken, and genuine and seemed like a very loving soul. He is missed.
Hearing about Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman's respective final performances never fails to choke me up. But after seeing this, I'm going to watch Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
@@allydeath I didn't say it was his last movie. It just so happened that the "Magnolia" scene that is featured in this video showed two great actors who are no longer with us.
Raul Julia in Street Fighter. He knew nothing about the game but took the role bc his kids liked the game. He was literally dying but still showed up to film his parts.
It’s the one everyone thinks of, but Raul Julia’s “for Bison, it was Tuesday” speech deserves a mention. He knew he was dying of cancer but took the role of M. Bison in Street Fighter because he wanted to set his family up after his death and his kids were huge fans of the game.
Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum 3. It was an emotional goodbye, made even more emotional because we knew he was gone in real life.
me and my mom grew up watching vincent price, he starred mostly in edgar allen poe related films (my mom, me and vincent were big edgar allen poe fans) she loved the poem the raven, vincent passed away on her birthday in 1993, my dad passed away in november of that year, and i just lost my mom last year in january 2024, she was 58. she thought vincent (along with my dad) being the most gorgeous handsome gemini's she's ever seen.
Vincent prices protruding eyes before he dies is intense. I know this because my father had cancer. Just before he died on his bed, he made those eyes. I called out to him if he was okay and he nodded calmly but the face and the eyes remained in that position. I assumed he had a stroke at the end.
It's a Voice-Over only performance, but I've always found James Stewart's final lines in Fievel Goes West, knowing now that it's his final role, to be very touching: ""Just remember, Fievel. One man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there beyond those hills. But if you ride yonder, head up, eyes steady, heart open...I think one day you'll find that you're the hero you've been looking for."
Seeing Charleston's Thorn cry as Eddy's Sol is dying and learning that Charleston was told before they shot the scene that Ed was dying of Cancer made it even more emotional.
Richard Farnsworth. I visit Old Lincoln County whenever I get a chance. I live in New Mexico. I remember meeting him at the Cowboy Symposium in Ruidoso. We'd talk about his role in Young Guns and other roles in movies when I was just a kid. He went out on his own terms. Didn't want to be a burden on anyone else during his last days. I respected that man. I lost a friend and honored he remembered me every year I saw him when I was a teen.
The Straight Story was largely filmed in my hometown of Clermont, Iowa. The characters in the scenes in Clermont are all based on real locals, and the extras (including the fire department) were local residents. I was a little kid when it was filmed, but I heard only wonderful things about Farnsworth, the rest of the cast, and David Lynch during production. He made sure to shoot on the real locations the real Alvin Straight rode on, from beginning to end.
Even though Rod Steiger gave the best performance of the year, if I were an Academy member, I would have voted for Spencer Tracy because of who he is and what he did in his final performance.
omg what a legend.. "the worst part of getting old is remembering what its like when you were young. im about to turn 40 and i already feel this so hard. what a great way to put it. young people are so naive. they act as if theyll never get older. ha!
This is a phenomenal list. I’ve loved drama and cinema theatrics and also a Thanatos. I feel that this list of portrayals will give anyone an insight of the human vicissitude of raw emotions.
I remember Vincent Price's death in Edward Scissorhands definitely struck me when I saw the movie as a kid, although one of my favorite performances of an actor while he was dying was that of Julian Beck as Reverend Kane in Poltergeist 2.
Thank You for mentioning 1984. Richard Burton had definitely reached the end of the line by the time he filmed 1984, and it showed. Fortunately, his remarkable voice never lost its astonishing power. I would also add Oliver Reed in Gladiator. Doubtless, he knew his health was failing, like Burton’s, after a lifetime of alcoholism. All told, his death in mid-production was a tragedy.
Happy fruitful year,I'm beyond excited! In just one week I'll be debt-free, having paid off my entire $285,000 debt and begun a new chapter of financial freedom.
its luck, it's me just being at the right place at the right time. I met a financial and trading consultant at a seminar back at Los Angeles later last year, where she was featured and interviewed and I reached out to her afterwards. Her name is Elizabeth Ann Hanson, I didn't know much about trading and investing so I spoke to her about it, she then later introduced me to her platform where I and other people could invest.
The final scene of Pete Postlethwait from Inception hits home for me since he looked a lot like my grandfather, who had just died around the same time. Also of cancer.
Edward Scisorhand's father should be a villain, totally hateful... but he was a tragic figure, thanks to Vincent Price's hearfelt performance. He was brilliant. That's the way i will always remember him. What a marvelous actor.
honestly, that scene with Vincent price is even sadder when you consider this: this was his final scene ever, and this movie was one of Johnny depp's earliest films, so this scene where he presents the hands to Edward, honestly felt like Vincent was passing the torch onto johnny, who after that worked with tim burton on spooky stuff for many more years.
Richard Farnsworth not winning the Oscar for The Straight Story, is one of their greatest crimes. His performance absolutely floors me. I cannot watch the sniper story scene, without welling up. And so long, David. I'll miss you.
Edward G. Robinson was a great, great actor. That scene in Soylent Green made me cry the first time I saw it and I had no idea he was dying in real life.
It should also be noted with Edward G. Robinson is that he never told anyone about his condition. The only person he told was his co-star, Charlton Heston. The tears Heston has in that scene where he's bidding farewell are real. He's saying goodbye to a legend and a friend.
How can you leave out Raul Julia's performance in Street Fighter? He was dying and he knew it and even though it's well known today, he's still worth a mention.
I was so upset by Vincent Price's scene in Edward Scissorhands that I wrote him a letter letting him know how much his career meant to me. I was 12 or 13 years old. I still make his recipes and watch his films. He remains a legend.
Indeed rest in peace to all of actors who have passed on their performances no matter how small impact us all in a way, and they should always be remembered for their work it's their legacy, Black Panther wouldn't be Black Panther without Boseman he will always be the Kobe Bryant of acting in my opinion
When I was a child, I also adored Vincent Price. My mom originally didn’t want me to see Edward Scissorhands, but she let me after Price passed away because I was upset
For me John Waynes death was the biggest. Of course all the actors and actresses on this list are heartbreaking but John Wayne in the shootist gets me because the movie was meant to pay homage to the classic western movie era so it hit hard because technically that genre of film died with him.
You missed Raul Julia's wonderfully hilarious scenery chewing in Street Fighter. And even though he died of natural causes, Sir John Gielgud was working until his mid-90s so he must have known the end was near.
Robinson told Charlton Heston, who had been his friend since at LEAST The Ten Commandments, that he was dying right before the shot that scene. Those tears were real. As for Pete Postelthwait...Spileberg said he was the best actor he ever worked with.
There was a German actress, Hannelore Elsner. A legend of the big and small screen in Germany. She shot her last movie "The Lonely Heart's Club" (Club der einsamen Herzen). After shooting wrapped, everyone said "See you at the premiere!". She passed away a few weeks after that, nobody knew she had terminal cancer. The thought will always be in the back of your mind if you see the movie.
The Soylent Green , Edward G Robinson scene remained with me since the first time I saw the film (1973, when it was released). I didn't know, then, that it was his last film. Pete Postlethwaite was a remarkable actor who touched a lot of people. Vincent Price, though, was special.
I know Pete Poselthwaite very well. He was an excellent actor and he could have gone on acting for many more years. I wish we had actors like him around today.
The gentleman who played the protagonist in Black Rain, he was sick enough to need chemotherapy and he postponed the treatment to film the movie, although his cancer was too far along once filming was done, he succumbed to cancer after wrapping up the movie.

He was battling cancer at the time

Richard Jordan in Gettysburg. Dying from a brain tumor in real life, playing General Armistead who is shot and dying on the battlefield.
Raul Julia's over-the-top _tour de force_ performance of M. Bison in the cheesy video game flick, "Street Fighter", as a gift to his children knowing he was dying of stomach cancer, deserves an honorable mention.
Indeed
YES!!! I was about to post it but happy to see that someone else appreciated Raul and posted it. That performance was amazing!
@@trojans7 The film falls neatly into the "so bad it's good" category. It's almost unwatchably bad, but Julia's performance makes it unmissable.
The Ingrid Bergmann one is a bit of a cheat as she had 3 or 4 years to live and a tv biopic of Golda Meir much nearer her death🎩
You can see really tears in KH's eyesin some scenes as she knew the truth about him 😢🎩
People don't understand that Boseman was literally the next Denzel, he was top of the line.
And Denzel himself gave nothing but high praise for Chadwick in his lifetime before the latter passed in 2020.
We do understand @VestingKnight10. That is why his passing was so hard to take. Boseman was a legend!
@@chamlo11 he's so talented
That's why it always bugged me how big a deal people made about Micheal B Jordan in Black Panther. Dude is good but he could not come close to pulling of T'Challa. Or a lot of Boseman's other parts.
@@twist58He was the Black Panther😭...!
Vincent Price added a notable elegance and subtle humor to horror that will never be matched. And he had a twinkle in his eyes that Santa Claus would envy, even when Price was at his creepiest. He was also quite funny as a person too! In 1983 he was on Family Feud with some of the Batman cast (TV show). With Adam West and the Batgang, and Price was really funny!😊
In Back To The Batcave, Adam West said he was his favorate guest villian.
He was very funny on his Muppets show performance too
He was a guest on an episode of F-troop, too.
And he was the voice of Professor Ratigan from Disney's The Great Mouse Detective.
Even now it's unbelievable that Vincent Price's last performance on screen was, of an old man dying.
Only for Vincent to pass on for real only 3 years after Edward Scissorhands was made. But Vincent did an amazing job portraying the Inventor!
Vincent Price was a treasure. He could do it all, including cook! I really would kill for him to be in the modern era among celebrity chefs.
Rest in Peace to all of these celebrities, who are no longer with us. Chadwick Boseman definitely should have won the Best Actor Oscar in 2021. Even Anthony Hopkins, the actual winner, was sure that the award was Boseman's.
Unfortunately, award shows are rigged. Especially, the Oscar's.
Boseman was great, but Hopkins was extraordinary that year. It’s arguably one of the greatest Oscar wins of all time
Nope. Definitely not. And don't make bogus shit up.
@@aunggatshah4243What was said wasn’t bogus. 🤡🤡🤡
@aunggatshah4243 it is, Boseman was good, but Oscar worthy is very doubtful
Tracy’s monologue at the end of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner is on THE best in cinema. Period.
It was one of the most heartfelt moments, almost like he was seeing his own child in a similar situation and just saying what he felt.
Chadwick Boseman will always be Marvel's Black Panther in our hearts ❤. Rest in Paradise
LONG LIVE THE KING!! WAKANDA FOREVER!!!
For me. He will always be James Brown. His best performance
"Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy

Brave soldier boy

What a gut punch.
In honor of Mako.
Richard Farnsworth is one of the most underrated character actors of all time. And one of the best.
I never thought he was acting. What he did was too real.
Vincent Price was a great actor and he was so dedicated to his craft. Most movies he did had fires in it and he had to breath that air. He died from copd. R.I.P. goat.
Surprised Raul Julia wasn't mentioned for his role in Street Fighter. It's a bad movie but he stole every scene that he was in. He accepted the role knowing he was dying of cancer, and you can really tell with how gaunt he looks compared to him say in Addams Family. But his kids loved Street Fighter so he did it for them.
"For you the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me? It was Tuesday."
RIP Raul Julia 👏
I think it may because he didn’t have a scene like the others here in the list. The it was just a Tuesday for me was a great piece but it’s more about dismissing both his actions and the pain of his foes known or unknown. Also Raul Julia is a force of nature and he steals every movie he was ever in
@webs538 Pretty much every line he says in the movie is quotable. For me the "Pax Bisonica" speech was Raul at his absolute best
He was so outstanding
You forgot John Cazale. He was terminally ill with bone cancer during the filming of The Deer Hunter.
And they shot it first the scenes with him.
The insurance company refused to make a contract with him, and the cast paid it from their salaries. That's how much loved he was from his peers.
My God. The pain must have been beyond Hell
I was thinking the same thing
I still cant believe Chadwick is gone. 😢💔
I met Vincent Price at the Atlanta airport when I was 12 yrs old …. Got his autograph! Very nice man! (And yes, he was really tall.)
I have a special edition of Soylent Green and you get to see Robinson make a little speech behind the scenes, when they give him a cake to celebrate his birthday. His thanks is humbling and he finishes by saying that he hopes to celebrate many more birthdays, despite knowing (I think he must have known) this was his last. Very moving.

His hit me deep. I lost the black mamba and the black panther in same year.
How is he the Greatest Of All Time?
@@skyatollah2skyharder276How is he not?

Their monologues in the movies reflecting their final days, knowing that they will never perform in front of a camera is devastating. Life is short, but they will always be in our hearts and in the theatre for all eternity rest in peace to all those actors.

I am emotional when I realize these brave people kept going even when sick and dying. God bless them all and have them in His loving embrace.
Julian Beck in Poltergeist II should be on list. He was 60 maybe 59 when filming. Scared me and many as a kid. Sad now

I still think of Vincent Price probably at least once a week. I love the delightful old man.
I bet Tim Burton cried after Vincent Price acted in this scene before he passed away.
I did
It’s crazy that T’Challa died three times three movies in a row. His solo movie, the next MCU movie, Infinity War and the sequel to his solo movie. We all miss you, Chadwick.
And the spike lee movie he was in
Hanging up (2000) isn't the most critically acclaimed movie, but it would fit perfectly here. Walter Matthau plays Lou Mozell who reconnects with his daughters right before he dies in his hospital bed. He was in poor health during filming and died less than 8 months later.
I liked Walter Matthau as Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace
Pedro Armendáriz starring as Kerim Bey in From Russia with Love is also a tragic yet memorable performance.

Two great actors in one scene ("Magnolia"). R.I.P. Jason Robards and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Magnolia wasn't PSH's last movie.

Raul Julia in Street Fighter. He knew nothing about the game but took the role bc his kids liked the game. He was literally dying but still showed up to film his parts.
Chadwick Boseman, Richard Farnsworth and Massimo Troisi were oscar-nominated for their last performances
Vincent Price is the GOAT of Horror/Thrillers.

Great actors and now legends. May they all Rest In Peace and thanks for all the memories you gave us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
They were legends who give their all for what they loved, acting. May them r.i.p.
Oh my god.... When Edward G. Robinson said in disbelief: Beef?, I gasped. One word, but so strong. This is acting!❤
Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum 3. It was an emotional goodbye, made even more emotional because we knew he was gone in real life.
Though Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom was Chadwick Boseman’s last film, he gave it his all in the Levee scene.
Prices’ scene has always pulled my heart strings the moment he fell. My piano never played well again.

Okay. Thumb up. RIP Vincent
Seeing Charleston's Thorn cry as Eddy's Sol is dying and learning that Charleston was told before they shot the scene that Ed was dying of Cancer made it even more emotional.

Spencer Tracy is the true GOAT
I saw Soylent Green as a midnight movie a few years ago. The audience still gasped at Chatelton Hestons revolation at the end.
I remember Vincent Price's death in Edward Scissorhands definitely struck me when I saw the movie as a kid, although one of my favorite performances of an actor while he was dying was that of Julian Beck as Reverend Kane in Poltergeist 2.
Pedro Armendariz in "From Russia With Love" comes to mind.
I remember watching The Ten Commandments and seeing Vincent Price and it was like, Wow! He did more than horror. A true legend he was.
Richard Burton in 1984. the interrogation scenes with Winston were a great performance even though his health was failing.
Thank You for mentioning 1984. Richard Burton had definitely reached the end of the line by the time he filmed 1984, and it showed. Fortunately, his remarkable voice never lost its astonishing power.
I would also add Oliver Reed in Gladiator. Doubtless, he knew his health was failing, like Burton’s, after a lifetime of alcoholism. All told, his death in mid-production was a tragedy.
Soylent Green is people, it's people...
Don't know how Jack Lemon's performance in 'Tuesdays With Morrie' wasn't even mentioned
Happy fruitful year,I'm beyond excited! In just one week I'll be debt-free, having paid off my entire $285,000 debt and begun a new chapter of financial freedom.
How were you able to do It?
Am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 😭 of myself because of low finance but I still believe God😞
its luck, it's me just being
at the right place at the right time. I met a financial and trading consultant at a seminar back at Los Angeles later last year, where she was featured and interviewed and I reached out to her afterwards.
Her name is Elizabeth Ann Hanson, I didn't know much about trading and investing so I spoke to her about it, she then later introduced me to her platform where I and other people could invest.
Elizabeth Ann Hanson's doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $100k monthly around the turn!!!
The final scene of Pete Postlethwait from Inception hits home for me since he looked a lot like my grandfather, who had just died around the same time. Also of cancer.
Thanks for so meaningful and valuable video as always..😢😢😢
Edward Scisorhand's father should be a villain, totally hateful... but he was a tragic figure, thanks to Vincent Price's hearfelt performance. He was brilliant. That's the way i will always remember him. What a marvelous actor.
honestly, that scene with Vincent price is even sadder when you consider this: this was his final scene ever, and this movie was one of Johnny depp's earliest films, so this scene where he presents the hands to Edward, honestly felt like Vincent was passing the torch onto johnny, who after that worked with tim burton on spooky stuff for many more years.
Richard Farnsworth not winning the Oscar for The Straight Story, is one of their greatest crimes.
His performance absolutely floors me. I cannot watch the sniper story scene, without welling up.
And so long, David. I'll miss you.
It was solid
Michael Jackson may have sang THRILLER, but Vincent Price was the THRILLER with his monologuing 😢
R.I.P to the actors/actresses that have passed 😢
Edward G. Robinson was a great, great actor. That scene in Soylent Green made me cry the first time I saw it and I had no idea he was dying in real life.
RIP all these amazing artists but especially Chadwick and Vincent 🌹
It should also be noted with Edward G. Robinson is that he never told anyone about his condition. The only person he told was his co-star, Charlton Heston. The tears Heston has in that scene where he's bidding farewell are real. He's saying goodbye to a legend and a friend.
How can you leave out Raul Julia's performance in Street Fighter? He was dying and he knew it and even though it's well known today, he's still worth a mention.
Pedro Armendáriz in From Russia With Love was another one.
I was so upset by Vincent Price's scene in Edward Scissorhands that I wrote him a letter letting him know how much his career meant to me. I was 12 or 13 years old. I still make his recipes and watch his films. He remains a legend.
Indeed rest in peace to all of actors who have passed on their performances no matter how small impact us all in a way, and they should always be remembered for their work it's their legacy, Black Panther wouldn't be Black Panther without Boseman he will always be the Kobe Bryant of acting in my opinion
Vincent Price is an absolute legend!
When I was a child, I also adored Vincent Price. My mom originally didn’t want me to see Edward Scissorhands, but she let me after Price passed away because I was upset
Vincent Price's death still hurts decades later.
For me John Waynes death was the biggest. Of course all the actors and actresses on this list are heartbreaking but John Wayne in the shootist gets me because the movie was meant to pay homage to the classic western movie era so it hit hard because technically that genre of film died with him.
You missed Raul Julia's wonderfully hilarious scenery chewing in Street Fighter. And even though he died of natural causes, Sir John Gielgud was working until his mid-90s so he must have known the end was near.
Amazing video watch mojo,fantastic job.
Vincent Price is one of mine favorite actors
So many great talents
Robinson told Charlton Heston, who had been his friend since at LEAST The Ten Commandments, that he was dying right before the shot that scene. Those tears were real. As for Pete Postelthwait...Spileberg said he was the best actor he ever worked with.
Some great choices Watchmojo!
Chadwick also had Da 5 Bloods, which hits super hard cause it's Spike directing, that could have been one of the legendary actor/director pairings.
There was a German actress, Hannelore Elsner. A legend of the big and small screen in Germany. She shot her last movie "The Lonely Heart's Club" (Club der einsamen Herzen). After shooting wrapped, everyone said "See you at the premiere!". She passed away a few weeks after that, nobody knew she had terminal cancer. The thought will always be in the back of your mind if you see the movie.
The Soylent Green , Edward G Robinson scene remained with me since the first time I saw the film (1973, when it was released). I didn't know, then, that it was his last film.
Pete Postlethwaite was a remarkable actor who touched a lot of people.
Vincent Price, though, was special.
I know Pete Poselthwaite very well. He was an excellent actor and he could have gone on acting for many more years. I wish we had actors like him around today.
The gentleman who played the protagonist in Black Rain, he was sick enough to need chemotherapy and he postponed the treatment to film the movie, although his cancer was too far along once filming was done, he succumbed to cancer after wrapping up the movie.
