*The Dresser (1983) [Sir]: Dies of an unspecified illness (on top of old age) in his dressing room after the evening's performance, while Tom Courtenay reads Albert's memoirs by his side. (Albert also had two 'play-within-the-film' death scenes earlier in the movie: He stabs himself in the stomach playing Othello, and dies of old age while playing King Lear.)
