Hamlet (1969) [Hamlet]: Slashed on the arm with a poison-tipped sword during a swordfight with Michael Pennington; he lives long enough to avenge himself by killing Anthony Hopkins, then dies while talking to Gordon Jackson.
Of Mice and Men (1970) [Lennie]: Presumably shot in the head by George Segal. (I haven't seen this version, but I'm familiar with the story.)
Macbeth (1983) [Macbeth]: Presumably killed in a swordfight with Tony Doyle. (I haven't seen this version, but again, I know the story.)
Black Widow (1987) [William Macauley]: Dies of an allergic reaction (off-screen) after Theresa Russell mixes penicillin in his toothpaste. His body is not shown; we learn about his death afterwards when we see Debra Winger arguing about the case with Leo Rossi. |
