Miranda Richardson

Miranda Richardson (1958 - )
==Film Deaths==
*Dance with a Stranger (1985) [Ruth Ellis]: Executed by hanging (off-screen). The movie ends before her death, but a block of on-screen text tells us about her eventual fate.
*Underworld (Transmutations) (1985) [Oriel] Dies after inhaling poison gas set off by Art Malik
*Eat the Rich (1987) [DHSS Blonde]: Shot in the chest by Lanah Pellay at the unemployment office. 
*Empire of the Sun (1987) [Mrs. Victor]: Dies in her sleep of starvation/exhaustion while all of the prisoners are being transported from the prison camp; her body is shown afterwards when Christian Bale wakes up next to her.
*The Crying Game (1992) [Jude]: Shot repeatedly (ending with a shot to the throat) by Jaye Davidson.
*Tom and Viv (1994) [Vivienne Haigh-Wood Eliot]: Dies off-screen and we are simply informed of her death via the text at the end of the film.
*The Designated Mourner (1997) [Judy]: Executed (off-screen) by having poison forced down her throat through a tube as she's strapped to a chair with other political prisoners; we learn of her death when Mike Nichols describes witnessing her televised execution.
*Sleepy Hollow (1999) [Lady Mary Van Tassel/The Western Woods Crone]: Two death scenes as two different characters: (1) Decapitated with an axe by her sister (also played by Miranda) shown in flashback, she had previously appeared as a zombie (with a different head) to Johnny Depp (2) Dragged under a tree and into the pit of hell by the Headless Horseman (Christopher Walken).Her hand is shown sticking out through the tree's roots afterwards.
*Chicken Run (2000; Animated) [Mrs. Tweedy]: Crushed by a falling barn door, while her husband Mr. Tweedy (voiced by Tony Haygarth) looks on. Miranda was trapped by destroyed equipment and unable to escape. Her apparent death is undone in the sequel, which had confirmed her return.
*Spider (2002) [Yvonne/Mrs. Cleg]: Asphyxiated in her sleep by a gas leak; there is also a scene of her being killed by Gabriel Byrne, but this turns out to be one of Ralph Fiennes' false memories.
*Falling Angels (2003) [Mary Field]: Falls to her death from the rooftop when she slips on the shingles, after climbing up to the roof in a suicide attempt.
*Paris, je t'aime (2006) [The Wife]: Dies of leukemia, with Sergio Castellitto by her bedside.
*Southland Tales (2007) [Nana Mae Frost]: Shot in the chest by Will Sasso during the attack on US-IDENT headquarters.
==Television Deaths==
*Black Adder II: Chains (1986) [Queen Elizabeth I]: Stabbed to death (off-screen), along with the rest of the cast, by Hugh Laurie. Her body is shown lying with the others afterwards, with the killer standing over them disguised as Miranda. (Indeed, he's actually played by Miranda, with Hugh's voice dubbed in.)
*Blackadder the Third: Amy and Amiability (1987) [Amy Hardwood, the Elusive Shadow]: Executed by hanging (off-screen) after being turned in by Rowan Atkinson; we learn of her death afterwards when Hugh Laurie reads about it in the newspaper.
*Blackadder Goes Forth: General Hospital (1989) [Nurse Mary]: Presumably executed (off-screen) by a firing squad; the episode ends with Rowan Atkinson realizing her innocence just as she's being put before the squad, but given the dark-comic tone of the series, it's unlikely that he was able to stop the execution.
*Merlin (1998 mini-series) [Queen Mab/Lady of the Lake]: Mab disintegrates into nothingness when Sam Neill makes everybody forget her existence. It is heavily implied that the same fate awaits the Lady of the Lake.
*Snow White: The Fairest of Them All (2001 TV movie) [Queen Elspeth]: See Karin Konoval.
*Merlin's Apprentice (2006; mini-series) [Lady of the Lake]: Disintegrates into nothingness when John Reardon uses his magic against her.
*Rubicon: You Never Can Win (2010) [Katherine Rhumor]: Poisoned when Isiah Whitlock Jr. bumps into her and touches her shoulder (presumably either injecting her with a hidden needle or planting some kind of poison on her clothing) while she's waiting to meet with James Badge Dale; she collapses and dies shortly after James arrives.
*World Without End: Rook (2012) [Mother Cecilia]: Coughs up blood and later dies in bed of The Black Death with Charlotte Riley in attendance.
*And Then There Were None (2015 mini-series) [Emily Brent]: Stabbed in the throat (off-screen) with a knitting needle with a bee ornament on it by Charles Dance; her body is seen when Burn Gorman, Toby Stephens, Maeve Dermody and Aidan Turner discover her.
*Curfew: Episode 1.8 (2019) [Lou Collins]: Shot in the stomach by Jessye Romeo. She later dies with Thaddea Graham by her side.
