Rod Steiger

Rod Steiger (1925 - 2002)
==Film Deaths==
*On the Waterfront (1954) [Charley 'The Gent' Malloy]: Shot in the chest (off-screen) by Lee J. Cobb's thugs; his body is shown afterwards, hanging on a hook in an alley when Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint discover him.
*Oklahoma! (1955) [Jud Fry]: Accidentally stabbed in the chest when he falls onto his own knife, after Gordon MacRae jumps from a burning haystack and tackles Rod.
*Jubal (1956) [Pinky Pinkum]: He leads a lynch mob which captures Glenn Ford, intending to string him up from a pulley/winch on a barn wall. However, Ford tells the mob that Steiger has murdered Valerie French, which Robert Burton confirms and the mob encircles Steiger as Ford rides away. The camera lingers on the pulley/winch, which implies Steiger's going to be hanged. Thought it best to include this as it is a very probable death. (Thanks to Brian)
*Back from Eternity (1956) [Vasquel]: Killed (off-screen) by the natives in the jungle, after Rod uses his last bullets to kill Beulah Bondi and Cameron Prud'Homme to spare them from the natives; the movie ends with Rod awaiting his fate, but the implication is clear. (Thanks to Mac)
