Christopher Plummer (1929 - 2021)
==Film Deaths==
*Producer's Showcase: Cyrano de Bergerac (1955) [Christian de Neuvillette]: Presumably mortally wounded in combat, then dies while talking to Jose Ferrer. (I haven't seen this version, but I'm familiar with the story.)
*The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964) [Commodus]: Stabbed in the chest in an arena fight by Stephen Boyd, Christopher then orders to burn the slaves before he dies. (Historically inaccurate, Commodus was strangled in his bathtub by a wrestler after a long reign).
*Hamlet (Hamlet at Elsinore) (1964) [Hamlet]: Wounded with a poisoned blade during a swordfight with Dyson Lovell; he dies shortly afterwards, after killing Robert Shaw in turn.
*The Night of the Generals (1967) [Erwin Rommel]: Dies off-screen after going into a coma after being shot by an enemy plane.  (Historically inaccurate as Rommel committed suicide by poison)

*The Day That Shook the World (Sarajevski atentat) (1975) [Archduke Franz Ferdinand]: Shot in the neck by Irfan Mensur while riding in a car with Florinda Bolkan.

*Eyewitness (The Janitor) (1981) [Joseph]: Shot in the chest by Morgan Freeman and Steven Hill when Christopher reaches for his pocket, making them think he's going for a gun.
*Highpoint (1982) [James Hatcher]: Plunges to his death from Toronto's CN Tower after being kicked to the ledge by Richard Harris   (Trivia: it was the during the filming of this scene where stuntman Dar Robinson, as Plummer's stunt double, made his record-breaking fall from the CN Tower).
*Dreamscape (1984) [Bob Blair]: Dies of a heart attack in his sleep when Dennis Quaid kills him in a dream after transforming into a monster; the scene cuts away just as Dennis grabs him, followed by a scene of Christopher's wife (Timothy Blake) waking up in the morning and discovering that he's dead.

*Cold Creek Manor (2003) [Theodore Massie]: Smothered with a cloth napkin by his son (Stephen Dorff).
*National Treasure (2004) [John Adams Gates]: Dies (off-screen), presumably of old age/natural causes, at some point between the flashback scenes and the main story.
