Not Well Known Celebrity Deaths

I recently heard about the suicide of the actress that played Auntie Em in the Wizard of Oz.
She was depressed in the lack of demand for her services and decided to end it all.
She fixed herself up, put on her best blue dress, laid out newspaper clippings about herself that she had collected during her career, swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, laid on her couch, tied a plastic bag over her head and covered herself with a gold satin blanket.
Creepy
Anyone else know any?

Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, during the filming of "The Crow".
TLDNR version = he was shot during filming with a gun they "THOUGHT" was filled with blanks.
quote:
On March 31, 1993 at EUE Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina, Brandon Lee sustained an accidental gunshot wound on the set of the film. He was taken to an area hospital where he later died. There were eight days left before shooting of the film was to be completed. The scenes involving Lee and Shinas' characters in their apartment had been saved for the end of filming so that Lee could work the final week without makeup.
In the story, Lee's character comes to his apartment where his girlfriend is being raped by a gang of thugs, and then he is shot and killed by Michael Massee's character, playing one of the thugs. Weeks prior to the event, a scene was being filmed that required dummy rounds to be shown being loaded into the handgun. Inexperienced crew members, pressured by time constraints, purchased live ammunition, removed the bullets, dumped the gunpowder, and then replaced the bullets back into the empty cartridges with the live primers still in place.

I keep forgetting she's dead.

Every now and then I like to tell people that Jeff Goldblum has died. It's not true, but he's been in the fringe for so long that not many people are all that frazzled by it. It's basically a plausible story.

Jeannie Millar. Soft porn star of the 90s. Made love to her many times in my youth.
(speaking of creepy)

quote:
On May 29, 2008, Jeannie Millar committed suicide in Los Angeles, California. During the last couple of years, Jeannie scaled back her acting career, married her third husband, and became a mother to Hannah - a cute baby with Downs Syndrome. Then two months later, Jeannie ended her life. Jeannie did not OD on drugs or prescription meds, but it wasn't accidental either. After autopsy, the Los Angeles Coroner classified her death as "Suicide by Hanging."

Not exactly right.
She started going blind and began suffering from severe arthritis.
Clara left the following note: “I am now about to make the great adventure. I cannot endure this agonizing pain any longer. It is all over my body. Neither can I face the impending blindness. I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen.”

Man that's crazy. I had never heard this story. What a way to go. I know wiki's a tough source to trust but it mentioned that she was going blind and couldn't take the thought of not being able to see. Sad as hell.
EDIT: Should have read the rest of the thread.

the Poltergist deaths are pretty freaky.
Most people know about the little girl, but the girl who played Dana (oldest sister in the first one) was killed by her boyfriend after the movie came out then the guy who played the Indian in the second one died after routine surgery. The creepy "God is in his hooo-leee temmmppple" guy died of cancer after the second movie came out
yea, I just read the article on cracked.

This one made me sad...Judith Barsi
quote:
On July 25, 1988, József shot Judith in the head while she was asleep, in her room. Maria, hearing the gunshot, rushed down the hall to check on Judith, where József met her and shot her as well.[1] After pouring gasoline on the bodies, he left them there for 3 days before setting the house on fire. On July 28th, József went into the garage and shot himself in the head with a .32 caliber pistol

Michelle Thomas who played Myra on Family Matters
quote:
In August 1997, Thomas was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer, intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor. She underwent surgery to remove a lemon-sized tumor shortly before landing her Young and the Restless role in the spring of 1998. Then in October 1998, Thomas underwent surgery after a second cancerous growth ruptured. After being released from the hospital, Thomas flew home to New Jersey to spend Thanksgiving with her family. On December 22 or 23, Thomas died surrounded by her family and friends in New York City at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, at the age of 29 or 30. On December 26, a Muslim funeral service was held, as Thomas had requested. She was buried in Montclair, New Jersey, near her home.
