Elsiedowney-chafedelbows — Elsie Downey (in the "Walter's Mother" role) in 'Chafed Elbows'

Elsie Downey (1934 - 2014)

Film Deaths:

Chafed Elbows (1966) [All The Girls]: Playing multiple roles as all the film's female characters, "Levitica Oho" is thrown out of a window by George Morgan after she tries to blackmail him into marriage. "Mary" appears as a spirit when George arrives in the afterlife and is sent back to Earth. "Walter's Mother" is beaten to death with a bottle by George in their apartment; she miraculously comes back to life after the police leave. Elsie was pregnant at the time of her death, consequently, her unborn child also died. (All played for comic effect.)

Pound (1970) [Mutt Bitch]: Playing a dog (as all the "dogs" in this film are played by human actors, without the use of special make-up or costumes), she is poisoned (along with all the other "dogs" in the pound) when the room is filled with gas. (I haven't seen this film, so I don't know for certain whether Elsie was still present when the room is gassed, but I'll go ahead and list it just in case.)

TV Deaths:

None

Noteworthy Connections:

Ex-wife of Robert Downey Sr.

Mother of Robert Downey Jr.
