Film Deaths[edit | edit source]

The Hole (2001) [Frances 'Frankie' Smith]: Dies of bulimia-related heart failure (off-screen) in the underground shelter. Her body is shown afterwards when Thora Birch discovers her, then again in the morgue during Embeth Davidtz' investigation. (Nudity alert: Topless) (Thanks to Joseph)

Domino (2005) [Domino Harvey]: Shot in the chest in a shoot-out with gang members, in a "coin toss" scene showing the possible outcome of the confrontation; the scene immediately rewinds to show the actual outcome, in which she survives. (The real-life Domino Harvey died of an accidental overdose between the filming of this movie and its release; a title card was added dedicating the film to her memory, but her death is not otherwise addressed in the actual movie.) (Thanks to Vlabor and John)

Atonement (2007) [Cecilia Tallis]: Drowned (along with several other people) in a underground subway station when it's flooded by a burst water main during a raid by German bombers during the Blitz; her body is shown floating in the water in a flashback as Vanessa Redgrave recounts what happened. (Thanks to Gerardo)
