	Might be a good idea to explain why there's a star next to the River Phoenix film.

* Probably because it hasn't been released.

	*or hopefully acknowledging the fact that the picture is terrible and shouldn't be used in this quiz.

	I know it can't be included because it would be a duplicate answer, but R.I.P to Brandon Lee as well.

	@geoneb I wanna say Unicron in "Transformers: The Movie" was the last role for Orson Welles? That would have been an awesome clue for the biggest nerdbombers among us. Came out a bit less than a year after he died.

	Let's not forget Peter Finch, who was the first actor to posthumously win an Oscar, for Network.

	jakajaka:	Oct 8th, 2012 at 07:43 GMT		11 points
	Finch won his Oscar posthumously but Network was released two months before he died, so it wouldn't fit this quiz.

	Neat, if sad, quiz. Of course Vic Morrow died during the filming of Twilight Zone. And Eddie Murphy's career must have died, oh jeez, several times now.... Yul Brynner's awesome anti-smoking PSA was made to be released after his death.

	Massimo Troisi wrote as well as starred in the beautiful Il Postino. He postponed heart surgery so that he could complete the film. The day after filming was completed, he suffered a fatal heart attack. He was nominated for an Academy Award.

	I was thinking that Spencer Tracy was an actor in a Henry Kissinger biopic...

	Did very well (missed 5), but had no clue of whitney houston who was the fourth highest guessed. Didn't look ANYTHING like her... I was trying to think of someone from the 50s or 60s to no avail.

	Really don't know how you can make this quiz without including John Cazale.

	I'm sorry that Bad Santa had to be John Ritter's last movie.

	barnztormre:	Oct 8th, 2012 at 13:57 GMT		7 points
	You HAD to include a picture of Marty Feldman while squinting. If he were bug-eyed as usual I'd have got him. :)

	If you don't know the actors name you can guess the last word in the movie title to get it.

	Clayburgh was also in Bridesmaids which was released after her death.

	First thought: some die before their time. Second thought: at least they have the movies to kind of preserve their legacy. Third thought: not sure I'd want Street Fighter to be my legacy.

	@iceman1731: That is weird. I kept wondering why it took titles for Sparkle and Brainstorm but not any of the others that I knew. 'Course it would have helped if I had read the instructions correctly and put the actors' names in.

	I believe "Giant" was James Deans last film.

	I just stared at that blonde on the phone thinking, "Angela Lansbury's still alive..."

	amyevg:	Oct 8th, 2012 at 20:24 GMT		2 points
	@Kim Oh, you're right. I've changed the image and the answer. That was a 'Giant' mistake ;) Thanks a ton!

	Nice quiz... man, we lost out on some talent.

	imprimere:	Oct 8th, 2012 at 21:04 GMT		2 points
	defineexistence - WHY? It was a great comedy and Ritter was great in it. What would you have preferred - Stay Tuned?

	googlebird:	Oct 8th, 2012 at 21:14 GMT		1 point
	@amyevg and @Kim - "Giant" was James Dean's last film, but "Rebel Without a Cause" was released after his death as well. No mistake, I just chose to go with his best known film.

	Terrific idea for a quiz, and really neat that you included some old-time stars.

	Shame on me for missing Jean Harlow.

	Saw John Candy and thought... "When Chumlee from Pawn Stars in a movie? And OMG he's dead?!?"

	dalejr88a:	Oct 8th, 2012 at 23:48 GMT		0 points
	great actors that have left way to soon ledger,julia,ritter,dean,mac,candy and lee. also misfits is a great movie unfortunately gable passed before its release and monroe passed away later and it would be her last movie.

	lulubelles:	Oct 9th, 2012 at 21:26 GMT		3 points
	@imprimere Hey, no cussing Stay Tuned, it's so bad it's almost good... I love John Ritter just for Flight of Dragons, one of my favourite childhood movies

	a_random_hobo:	Oct 9th, 2012 at 23:54 GMT		1 point
	What about Brandon Lee in "The Crow"?

	kelea7:	Oct 14th, 2012 at 05:51 GMT		1 point
	Oh how did I miss Jessica Tandy?

	Thanks, as always, to Kim Carnes for the assist on Jean Harlow.
