==Film Deaths==
*The Llano Kid (1939) [Lora Travers]: Killed (persumably shot, though I don't know for certain) by Alan Mowbray.
*The Blue Bird (1940) [Tylette]: Playing a cat changed into human form, she is burned to death in a forest fire that she had brought about in an attempt to kill Shirley Temple and Johnny Russell. The cat appears at the end of the movie after Shirley and Johnny return home; it's left up for the viewer to decide whether the entire adventure was only a dream, or whether she only lost one of her nine lives.
