Film Deaths[]
- Sisters (Blood Sisters) (1973) [Danielle Breton/Dominique Breton]: Playing a dual role, "Dominique" dies (off-screen) during an operation to be separated from her twin sister. For most of the movie, we're led to believe that both sisters are still alive, but it's later revealed that Dominique has been dead since long before the story started, and that the "Dominique" we see is actually Danielle's dual personality. (The "real" Dominique only appears in film footage from the sisters' past.)
