Film Deaths

• On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) [Contessa Teresa 'Tracy' Di Vincenzo Bond]: Shot in the head when Ilse Steppat machine-guns her car while driving past with Telly Savalas; her body is shown afterwards when George Lazenby gets back in the car and discovers that she's been hit. (Thanks to Claire)
• The Assassination Bureau Limited (1969) [Sonya Winter]:

• Julius Caesar (1970) [Portia]: Commits suicide (off-screen) by swallowing hot coals. Her death is mentioned by Jason Robards.

• Theatre of Blood (Much Ado About Murder) (1973) [Edwina Lionheart]: Hit on the head with an awards statuette by a homeless woman during a struggle in the burning theatre; she dies in the arms of her father (Vincent Price), who then carries her body up to the roof before falling to his death. (Thanks to Anastasia)

• Evil Under the Sun (1982) [Arlena Stuart-Marshall]: Strangled by Nicholas Clay in a grotto; her body is shown lying on the beach when Peter Ustinov examines it, and the murder is shown in a flashback later on. In the scene before Peter's examination of the body, the "body" lying on the beach isn't Diana, but Jane Birkin playing dead with her face covered, as part of their scheme to create an alibi. See also Louise Delamere in the 1991 version.

TV Deaths

• Oresteia (The Serpent Son) (1979) [Clytemnestra]: Killed (I don't know the exact method, but I assume she was stabbed to death) by her son (Anton Lesser), in revenge for her murder of her husband (Denis Quilley). I haven't seen this mini-series, but I'm familiar with the history/myth.
