Film Deaths

• Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) [Leni Lamaison/Marti/Spider Woman]: Playing multiple roles in the different story-within-the-story sequences, one of her characters is shot to death by a French resistance fighter. (Thanks to Mahto)

• The Rookie (1990) [Leisl]: Shot in the chest, then in the forehead, by Charlie Sheen during a shootout in an airport.

• Streets of Laredo (1995) [Maria Garza]: Stabbed by Alexis Cruz as Sonia tries to stop him from killing Miriam Colon; she dies some time later with Sissy Spacek by her bedside. (Thanks to Gordon)

• Two Deaths (1995) [Ana Puscascu]: Shot to death by soldiers when she waves a gun around and fires randomly, suicidally forcing them to shoot both herself and Michael Gambon.

• From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter (1999) [Quixtla]: Burned to death by sunlight after being impaled through the sides by steel bars that shoot out from the sides of a door frame, pinning her in the doorway until the sun comes up. (She had also been shot in the head and in the torso in two earlier scenes, but as a vampire, these apparent "deaths" were just minor inconveniences.) (Thanks to Larry)

• Ghost Whisperer: Shadow Boxer (2005) [Estella de la Costa]: Dies of a brain tumor, some time before the episode begins; she appears as a ghost to Jennifer Love Hewitt, and her death is shown in a flashback. (Thanks to Stephen)
