Louise Fletcher (1934 - 2022)
==Film Deaths:==
*Natural Enemies (1979) [Miriam Steward]: Shot to death by Hal Holbrook in a fantasy sequence he has. Her actual death happens off-screen and is mentioned at the end of the film after Hal shoots her.
*Brainstorm (1983) [Dr. Lillian Reynolds]: Dies of a heart attack in her laboratory; she manages to hook herself up to the thought-recording machine as she dies. Her death is "replayed" when Christopher Walken hooks himself into the machine later on.

*Shadowzone (1990) [Dr. Erhardt]: Impaled through the stomach with a pipe by the extradimensional creature, which then takes her body back to its dimension. (Thanks to Mesmerizer)
*Love Kills (1999) [Alena Heiss]: Accidentally shot to death by Donovan Leitch, when her dog bites him and causes him to pull the trigger while he's holding a gun on her. We only see her legs as her chair falls backwards.
*After Image (2001) [Aunt Cora]: Smothered with a pillow (off-screen) by Michael Zelniker in her bedroom; her legs are shown (with a hand-written toe-tag left by Michael) sticking out of the bed when John Mellencamp discovers her. Her body is shown again later on being placed in the crematorium.
