Kim Hunter

Kim Hunter (1922 - 2002)
==Film Deaths:==
*Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) [Dr. Zira]: Killed, along with everyone else on the planet in an explosion when Charlton Heston detonates the doomsday bomb. [NOTE: although the next sequel Escape from the Planet of the Apes revealed that she survived it by escaping in a spaceship, then going through a time warp to year 1973, It's very clear this was intended to be an actual character death at the time of filming] 
*Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) [Dr. Zira]: Falls to her death after being shot by Eric Braeden, while Kim and Roddy McDowall are trying to escape. (Kim and Roddy were wearing ape make-up for this movie, of course.) (Thanks to PortsGuy, Stephen, and XMan)
*Bad Ronald (1974) [Elaine Wilby]: Dies (presumably off-screen) in the hospital during surgery. (I haven't seen this movie, but have read the premise on its IMDB entry.)
*Dark August (1976) [Adrianna Putnam]: Shot in her back (with exit wound through her chest) by William Robertson while she was using an incantation for a ritual.
*The Kindred (1987) [Dr. Amanda Hollins]: Dies of a heart attack in her hospital room, while Rod Steiger tries to get information from her.
==Television Deaths:==
*Rawhide: Incident of the Misplaced Indians (1959) [Amelia Spaulding]: Shot in the back by Richard Hale while trying to escape the Law men, because she had poisoned Rodd Redwing and two other Delaware Indians. She dies in Clint Eastwood's arms shortly afterwards. (Thanks to Anonymous)
*The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: The Evil of Adelaide Winters (1964) [Adelaide Winters]: Shot to death by John Larkin at the end of a long chase.
*Backstairs at the White House (1979 TV mini-series) [First Lady Ellen Wilson]: Dies of kidney illness. (I haven't seen this mini-series, but I'm familiar with the historic facts.)
==Notable Connections==
*Ex-Mrs. William A. Baldwin.
*Mrs. Robert Emmett (writer) (widowed).
