This thread discusses actors and actresses you feel died before making even bigger splashes in the pool they already created. The reason I ask is because I just saw 10 Things I Hate About You, and I was thinking about how cool Heath Ledger was.The usual suspects are Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Chadwick Boseman, and also James Dean. Then there were child actors like Judith Barsi, whoever it was in Poltegeist, and Matthew Garber(although he died in his 20s) from Mary Poppins.
Some cases I notice amongst directors is probably Jean Vigo who directed L’Atlante. He probably would have made an as big splash as Renoir if he stayed alive longer.*
We also lost Francois Dorleac too soon. Roman Polanski directed her and her sister Catherine Deneuve in two different movies while Jacques Demy directed them in one movie. Catherine Deneuve losing her sister too early makes me think of how Joaquin Phoenix lost his brother and became a big star later.
Then Bulle Ogier’s daughter Pascal died too early as well after starring in movies directed by Jacques Rivette and Eric Rohmer.
