Film Deaths
- The Song of Bernadette (1943) [Bernadette Soubirous]: Dies of tuberculosis. (Thanks to Farzad)
- Duel in the Sun (1946) [Pearl Chavez]: Shot in the chest by Gregory Peck after she shoots him first. Although mortally wounded, she manages to crawl along the hills and make her way to him; they die in each other's arms.
- Portrait of Jennie (Jennie; Tidal Wave) (1948) [Jennie Appleton]: She plays a ghost, but I don't know whether she has an on-screen death scene or not. (Thanks to Mac)
- Madame Bovary (1949) [Emma Bovary]: Commits suicide by drinking arsenic. (Thanks to Farzad)
- Gone to Earth (1950) [Hazel Woodus]: Falls down a mineshaft while trying to carry a fox to safety during a foxhunt. (Note: This movie was reissued in 1952 as The Wild Heart (a.k.a. Gypsy Blood), with much of the original footage cut out and replaced with new scenes. I would assume that her death scene, being a major plot element, is the same in both versions, but I don't know for certain.) (Thanks to Costas)
