- Magnum, P.I.: Paradise Blues (1984) [Alexis Carter]: Along with two men who had abducted her, is killed when the car she was riding in tumbles over a cliff, exploding into flames upon impact. The crash happens while being pursued by the authorities (including Tom Selleck and Roger E. Mosley) on a winding road, and Uggams begins struggling with her kidnappers, causing the driver to lose control. (Goof: A special effects explosive detonator in the car prematurely fires as it goes over the cliff, leaving a trail of smoke coming from the windows prior to the car's landing; in the storyline, this does not contribute to the deaths of Uggams or her abductors.)
