Trevor Howard (1913 - 1988)

Film Deaths[]

  • The Way To The Stars (Johnny In The Clouds) (1945) [Squadron Leader Carter]: Killed off screen in a bombing raid. We find out when Michael Redgrave tells Basil Radford "the C/O bought it today". (Thanks to Brian)
  • Run for the Sun (1956) [Browne]: "Shot" in the stomach when Richard Widmark places a bullet in the doorway and detonates it by hitting it with a rock.
  • The Key (1958) [Captain Chris Ford]: A tug boat captain, he is killed offscreen. Kieron Moore tells William Holden the boat was strafed by a German fighter and Trevor was hit, the impact knocking him overboard. (Thanks to Brian)
  • The Last Remake of Beau Geste (1977) [Sir. Hector Geste]: After spending most of the film on his deathbed (following a particularly strenuous off-screen sexual encounter with Ann-Margret), he finally dies of shock when his son (Michael York) thousands of miles away announces that he doesn't care about his family's good name. (Played for comedic effect, obviously.)
  • Superman (1978) [First Elder]: Killed (along with the rest of the planet's population) in the destruction of Krypton when it collides with its sun. (I couldn't specifically spot Trevor during the scene of destruction)

TV Deaths[]

  • Hedda Gabler (1963) [Ejlert Lovborg]: Shot (off-screen) in an alley by some unknown assailants. Ralph Richardson brings the news to Ingrid Bergman the following morning. (Thanks to Barnaba)
