Well, as you ask for subjects for new videos, here goes one: the true history of how the idea for the Original Kung Fu TV series was not stolen from Bruce Lee. Yup, there were different degrees of racism involved in the events, but the chronology of how Spielman-Friedlander wrote the first script for a film feature and it ended up as a TV series starring David Carradine because he was a better actor for that role is well documented in Matthew Polly's Bruce Lee: A Life, and even in Wikipedia. It's a quite interesting story.

Jeanne Cooper (mother of Corbin Bernsen) was a long standing character on the soap opera, Young and Restless, when she passed. She was written out of the series by having her character dies on a bucket list trip. The show even aired an hour long episode where the actors recalled their memories of working with her. Very touching. There have been a few other actors die while on the show, but I haven't watch the soap opera in quite a while.

There was an actor named Lexie Bigham (1968-1995) who is probably unknown to most people. He only had 15 credits in film. Lexie Bigham played one of the few street gang by the name Two-Bags in the comedy movie High School High.
Lexie Bigham is only seen until about half way through the movie. During a break for the day, he was traveling home by motorcycle when he was killed when he collided with a car

-Nicholas Colasanto- He played the role of Coach in the show 'Cheers'
-Phil Hartman- Murdered by his wife while a member of the cast for 'NewsRadio'. He also starred on 'Saturday Night Live' and did voices for 'The Simpsons'.

Too bad the Viper room isn’t going to look like that anymore. They are rebuilding it with apartments above it. They should have made it an historical landmark. Marylin, was also always late. Her acting coach did help either. Kinda surprised that Larry Hagman is not on here. He died while making the Dallas reboot as his reoccurring iconic JR character from the original show.

Bruce Lee's family is NOT cursed, instead they are the victims of a vendetta from a criminal society that is meant to kill the firstborn son of the next several generations of the family.
Something about his teaching non-chinese students without permission.
Losing Don Rickles was hard, he was priceless when he was on screen.

Bela Lugosi was not actually filming Plan 9. Bela died in August of 1956 while Plan 9 entered production in November of that year. What Bela actually shot was test footage for a planned film called The Ghoul Goes West. Ed Wood decided to incorporate the footage into his film as a tribute to his late friend.

If you have any doubts about John Candy’s kind-hearted nature being real or fake, he did a movie called Only the Lonely with veteran actress Maureen O’Hara. When Candy learned his trailer was larger than hers, he moved all of his stuff to her trailer and gave her his trailer.

For a possible Part 2, besides the other suggestions, here's a few more:
Jean Harlow
Robert Walker, Sr.
Alexander Fu Sheng
And since we're including TV show too,
Pete Duel
Freddie Prinze, Sr.
Mako (might as well due to both Samurai Jack and Avatar)

There are so many others, but the one that came to my mind first was Aaliyah who was queen of the vampires in Queen of the Damned. She died in a plane crash while filming a music video, and her brother stepped in to record some of her dialogue in the movie.

The death of the actor and two child actors by the helicopter is sad. I've seen footage of the chopper coming right at them, and the last thing dude does is cover up the kids with his body. What a aad way to go, but he went out trying to help the kids.

John Landis is a horrible human being. That little weasel did everything he could to deny responsibility, and pretty much got away with it. He in refused to listen to anyone who said that it was unsafe, and forced the scene anyways.

I do wonder what Pixar is going to do with the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Potato head in Toy Story 5 since both of their actors have passed away. I hope they aren't going to use A. I. to recreate the voices, it doesn't always work.

And where is any mention of Oliver Reed Died in Malta whilst filming his scenes for Gladiator.
Seriously, some of Weird History's content needs to upgraded or added to at times.

Thanks for this! I'm so glad you mentioned BRAINSTORM (1983. I love that movie! And I've always wished I could've seen what the makers originally planned for the narrative.

You left out the TV series Cover-Up with Jon-Erik Hexum, who accidentally killed himself in 1984, when he fired a prop gun to his head as a joke in-between takes.

The list of actors and actresses who died in the middle of filming what would be their final projects is probably too long to include all of them in one video

I didn't realize Heath was so young. I was only a teen when he passed but now I'm 33 with kids of my own. It's strange to me knowing someone younger is gone.
