these actors never got to see their last
on-screen performances white and Joe
Lemon you got to crush it into lemonade
so thick that’s it yeah welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 actors who
died before the release of their final
films for this list we’ve chosen actors
whose last films or performances in
these films were generally perceived as
notable and/or successful number 10
Bernie Mac sticking with my small fry
yuxuan 8 you saw him last night
you got some lip on you midget as an
actor stand-up comedian and voice artist
Mac always had many things on his plate
pretty darn impressive so even though
his health worsened he continued working
and had several movies in the can before
dying of complications from pneumonia
before I kick your butt
let me ask why do you even want to
become the alpha liar
this included the better than the
original Madagascar 2 as well as the
critically penned old dogs was it
electrifies extra bam bam thank you me
like chocolate milk coming through the
no baby
and while soul men received mixed
reviews we remember Mac for his energy
and chemistry with samuel l.jackson come
on way down here man you gonna look me
in my face not me the cow should’ve
called first
number 9 Raul Julia are you man enough
to fight with me anyone who opposes me
will be destroyed
street fighter might not have been
considered a good movie but it was
popular at the box office and caught
people’s attention for Julia’s portrayal
of general m.bison
we shall face it together DJ
with this toy system of the true warrior
though julia was known for his more
serious and dramatic Tony and golden
globe-nominated work the actor was often
cited as the best thing about the film
which was released two months after he
died from brain hemorrhage complications
number eight
Tupac Shakur tonight you can trust me
I don’t trust no motherfucking body this
rapper and actor kept busy during his
lifetime as evidenced by several
posthumous solo albums with new material
though Tupac was killed in a drive-by
shooting in 1996 three of his movies
came out in the months following his
passing while the crime drama Bullitt
mostly passed under the radar and
gang-related received mixed reviews
Tupac was lauded for gridlocked which
had one critic saying he was born to
play spoon not what have you gotta do
separate Medicaid why we go to welfare
we tell him it’s an emergency and we
need to get a detox number seven Brandon
Lee you’ve heard me rapping right as the
son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee
Brandon was a promising young actor with
only half a dozen movies under his belt
before he was cast in the crow victims
aren’t we all unfortunately filming the
comic-book adaptation resulted in his
tragic death
Lee was accidentally shot and killed by
a prop gun while filming however his
remaining scenes were shot using a stunt
double and the movie was a smash and
cult hit guess it’s not a good day to be
a bad guy skank number 6 Jean Harlow I
assure you I dislike asking favors of
you but my grandfather doesn’t know you
hold a deed to his product I know that
1937 Saratoga wasn’t only Harlow’s last
collaboration with Clark Gable but it
was also her final movie role I love you
too
what are you trying to do steal my gag
line while the film was well received
and earned the studio top earnings the
actress wasn’t able to reap the rewards
a mix of medical conditions resulted in
the onset collapse that eventually led
to Harlow’s death another actress was
used to complete the movie which came
out less than two months later number
five Bruce Lee he was a pop culture icon
and one of the most influential martial
artists ever
oh thank feel it is like a finger
pointing away to the moon
sadly Lee’s health took a turn for the
worse shortly after he finished work on
Enter the Dragon and he was found
unconscious after taking painkillers he
had also been working on the game of
death at the time but it was the
posthumous release of Enter the Dragon
that’s left an incomparable legacy
number four Spencer Tracy why am I here
laughs am i up for all you know little
normal could have driven you down here
why did you ask me thought you might
want to kiss me goodbye
as part of Hollywood’s golden age Tracy
became known for his style and acting
range Hanuman
I’d like to take you to a baseball game
okay though he maintained his popularity
for many years the actor’s health issues
began taking their toll as he aged in
fact much of the production of 1967’s
guess who’s coming to dinner was
adjusted around him well I never would
have believed I’d hear you say anything
like his illness didn’t affect his
performance and the film earned him
multiple accolades though he died a few
months before its release old yes
burned out certainly but I can tell you
the memories are still there number
three beef ledger I’m gonna make this
pencil disappear
it’s the aussies portrayal of Batman’s
arch enemy was so unexpected and
terrifying that it won him a posthumous
Oscar I stick a laser in my mouth and do
this to myself you know what
she can’t stand the sight of me but it
may have also cost him his life he
overdosed on the prescription pills that
allegedly helped him sleep both the dark
night and the Imaginarium of Doctor
Parnassus were released after he passed
with the latter requiring the help of
three other actors to complete it
number two Clark Gable they’re nothing
but misfit horses honey hi wish you’ve
been here in the old days I seen him
come pouring out of those passes three
four five hundred times
released in 1961 the American drama The
Misfits was both Clark Gable’s and
Marilyn Monroe’s last completed movie
appearance well of his bed maybe you
have to take a little of the bed with a
good else you’ll be running for the rest
of your life what is it a stop where
you’re just like everybody else
though the blonde bombshell got to see
the finished product Gable did not he
succumbed to heart problems and was
unable to bask in critics praise of his
performance number one James Dean you’re
tearing me apart what you you say one
thing he says another and everybody

cause may have only starred in three
feature-length movies during his career
but he’s also the only actor with two
posthumous Best Actor Oscar nominations
to his name well welcome in Bakke ha ha

giant earned its director an Academy
Award but Dean didn’t even live to see
the final product a car crash took his
