00:00It's a little makeover. Can I buy you a drink?
00:01No!
00:02Are you sure? I know I hate being alone when I'm on the rebath.
00:22I don't like that kind of talk. Now just stop it, it upsets me.
00:30Larry Hackman created a TV icon, the J.R. Ewing.
00:45The soap opera was re-released more than 20 years after the end of Dallas.
00:50Hackman went to the date even though in 2011 he was diagnosed with throat cancer.
00:55It wasn't the first time he had a deadly disease,
00:58as in the 90s he had liver cancer.
01:01When the revival of Dallas was released in June 2012, he was in remission.
01:06Thank you, daddy. That means a whole lot for me to hear you say that.
01:14J.R.?
01:17Hello?
01:20Dad!
01:21Only a month later he found out that he had developed myelodysplastic syndrome.
01:25This progressed to leukemia, which took over his life the following November.
01:30Some episodes of the second season had already been recorded,
01:33in which Hackman's cancer diagnosis was included in the plot,
01:36and the classic story of who shot J.R. was resumed.
01:55While filming Eraserhead, David Lynch imagined Katherine Coulson holding a log.
02:01This was the basis for one of the favorite characters of the Twin Peaks fans,
02:05Margaret Lanterman, a.k.a. Log Lady.
02:18Years later, in her 50th university reunion,
02:21Coulson announced that she had lung cancer.
02:24This did not prevent her from appearing in the long-awaited revival of Twin Peaks,
02:27four days after finishing her scenes, she died.
02:31I'm dying.
02:37I'm sorry, Margaret.
02:39The revival was not broadcast until two years later,
02:42and the premiere was dedicated to Coulson.
02:44Echoing her incurable condition,
02:47Log Lady accepts her fate and dies offscreen.
02:50Good night, Haw.
02:52The co-protagonist, Miguel Ferrer, also died before the premiere.
02:55Although he received a fatal throat cancer diagnosis,
02:58he shot several episodes of Twin Peaks while working at NCIS.
03:03The veteran actor died peacefully in his home Thursday morning
03:07after a long battle with cancer.
03:09He was surrounded by friends and family.
03:12Katherine Houston, Desperate Housewives.
03:15But for the first time in her life,
03:18she found herself thinking about such things.
03:23Because she knew that her life
03:26was coming to an end.
03:28Katherine Houston worked as a nurse
03:31before appearing as a guest star in numerous series.
03:34Her most acclaimed role would be Karen McCluskey's
03:37in Desperate Housewives.
03:39She won two Emmy Awards for playing the grumpy but adorable neighbor.
03:43When the series entered its sixth season, in 2009,
03:47she was diagnosed with lung cancer.
03:49It was Houston's second assault against the disease,
03:52since several years earlier he had had his right lung extirpated.
03:56Although his health worsened,
03:58he continued to play Mrs. McCluskey until the last episode.
04:14She and the producers of the series agreed
04:17on how the character's journey should end.
04:20The lung cancer claimed Karen's life,
04:23but not before he was arrested in a crucial trial.
04:26Twenty days after the final show,
04:29Houston died.
04:51Christopher Evan Welch's role as the extravagant multi-millionaire Peter Gregory
04:55must have been a turning point in his career.
04:58However, it was the end of the book that Welch didn't get to see.
05:02He was diagnosed with lung cancer around 2010,
05:06about three years before starting to shoot his scenes for Silicon Valley.
05:20I'm paying you $200,000 for 5% yet you're giving this man twice that
05:24in exchange for a futon and some sandwiches?
05:29After learning that the cancer had spread to his brain,
05:33Welch told his wife and doctor,
05:35I have to go shoot that pilot.
05:37Although he was operated after the recording of the first episode,
05:40his colleagues believed that he would make it.
05:43His death in the middle of production,
05:45when only five episodes had been shot,
05:47was a shock for them.
05:49Instead of changing the cast,
05:50Peter Gregory died in the next season in an absurdly tragic way.
05:55He hadn't run in a long time.
06:00Maybe ever.
06:01And, you know, he just...
06:08That was it.
06:09Rock Hudson, Dynasty.
06:11This legendary actor ended his career with a recurring role in Dynasty.
06:15Pull!
06:17Only a few months before Rock Hudson made his debut as Daniel Reeds,
06:21he was diagnosed with AIDS.
06:23He kept his illness in private for more than a year
06:27and made it public on July 25, 1985.
06:31At that time he had already finished his time in Dynasty,
06:33which ended earlier because he had weakened.
06:37You deserve Crystal.
06:39I told you once I'd fight to the death for her.
06:43I know.
06:45To both of you.
06:45Hudson was aware of his diagnosis during a scene
06:49in which he kissed Linda Evans.
06:51He kept the secret and was terrified
06:54of the possibility of infecting the deceased,
06:57since the widespread misinformation about the disease
07:00was still common at that time.
07:02It would be years later that the revelation he had AIDS
07:05also exposed his homosexuality.
07:07Hudson had successfully hidden it,
07:09even had a brief studio arranged marriage
07:11when a magazine threatened to expose him.
07:13Despite his efforts to keep working,
07:16Hudson kept fighting and died three months later
07:19of revealing his disease to the world.
07:21Patrick Swayze, The Beast
07:23One of the most popular murder stars
07:25throughout the 80s and 90s,
07:27Patrick Swayze ended the decade of the 2000s
07:30as the protagonist of the A&E series The Beast.
07:33You were outside, so how the hell could you know how much we were light?
07:37Unless you were FBI.
07:39I shot you in the best sun to keep you from getting killed.
07:42Maybe next time I don't.
07:44Breathe shallow, it won't hurt so bad. Now get in the car.
07:46As the morally gray FBI agent Charles Barker,
07:50Swayze stole the pilot shortly before he found out
07:52that he had pancreas cancer,
07:54but he remained committed and recorded the season for five months.
07:58During all that time, he underwent treatment without taking analgesics.
08:02Uh, yeah.
08:04Uh, hold on.
08:06I got things to do.
08:08You got, uh, 90 minutes on my delivery. Don't be late.
08:12During this difficult period,
08:13he only had a day and a half to shoot.
08:16Although The Beast received positive reviews,
08:18it was not renewed due to low ratings.
08:21Even if the series had had a second season,
08:25Swayze could not have repeated his role.
08:27Just two months after his cancellation,
08:30he sadly succumbed to his illness.
08:32Patrick was a really good man, a funny man,
08:34and one to whom I owe much, that I can never repay.
08:38Alice Pierce, Bewitched
08:40This actress is best remembered
08:42for playing the definitively introverted neighbor,
08:44Gladys Kravitz in Bewitched.
08:47Gladys, I worked like a dog for 32 years.
08:50And the house across the street has got a lawn
08:53and out of there trees and flowers.
08:55So what do you want from me?
08:57In the series, Gladys always suspected
08:59what was going on in the Stevens' house.
09:01Behind the scenes, Alice Pierce had her own secret.
09:05She suffered from terminal cancer that she decided not to reveal.
09:08Maybe the screenwriters were not aware of the diagnosis,
09:11but her illness began to cost her.
09:13In any case, she made the audience laugh
09:15until well into the second season.
09:18There was a room full of poles and reels and fish!
09:21Who can fish this big?
09:23I want my boots!
09:24Baby's First Paragraph was the last episode
09:27she shot before getting worse,
09:29six weeks later.
09:31While Sandra Gould inherited the role of Gladys,
09:33Pierce won an Emmy for his last season.
09:37We got a call from some lady.
09:39Says you got a talking baby.
09:42Yes, that was me.
09:43Mrs. Kravitz, with a K.
09:46R-A-V-I-T-Z.
09:47Nicolás Colasanto, Cheers.
09:50Heart patient in the 70s,
09:52had trouble finding work in the following years.
09:55He was willing to give up when he was presented
09:58a decisive role in his career.
10:00His interpretation as coach Ernie Pantuso
10:03was fundamental during the first seasons of Cheers.
10:06I have been chosen to be this year's visiting scholar
10:09at the University of Bologna.
10:11Oh, Fraser, that's wonderful!
10:14University of Bologna?
10:17I can't believe they need a university
10:20for a thing like that.
10:23I know it's a complicated meet, but...
10:26Although his heart disease wasn't a secret,
10:29few noticed his severity until the third season,
10:32when he started to lose weight and forget his dialogues,
10:36some suspected he didn't have much time left.
10:39We'd sit on the porch, listen to the ball game.
10:42I'd bounce your kids on my knee.
10:45God, it was gonna be a happy house.
10:49Well, I guess that's gonna be
10:50Fraser's house now, coach.
10:52Well, you can come by any time, Sam.
10:54His death from a heart attack in February 1985
10:57still surprised many.
11:00Two months after being hospitalized
11:02for water in the lungs.
11:03Although Cheers would continue with strength
11:05for another eight seasons,
11:07the coach and Colasanto were never forgotten.
11:11I'm a friend of coach's, is he around?
11:14I'm sorry, Woody, I guess you hadn't heard.
11:16No, uh...
11:18Coach passed away a couple months ago.
11:20But yeah, I'd like to think he's still around.
11:23Helen McCrory, Peaky Blinders.
11:25I don't doubt you, Severus.
11:27You should be honored, Sissy.
11:28As for Draco...
11:34He's just a boy.
11:35From Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies
11:38to Madame Kali in Penny Redfield,
11:41this British actress had several memorable roles.
11:44I sense something of the old days in it.
11:48The old days.
11:50The days before now.
11:53Peaky Blinders fans will recognize her as Polly Gray,
11:56the strict matriarch of the Shelby family.
11:59Although death was common in the series,
12:01maybe Aunt Polly was the one that affected us the most.
12:03Helen McCrory died of breast cancer
12:06between the 5th and 6th season.
12:08She had sworn to her friends and family
12:10to keep the secret while she was undergoing private treatment.
12:13For almost everyone else, her death was sudden.
12:16Actress Helen McCrory has died.
12:19She was 52 years old.
12:21With the last episodes of Peaky Blinders in production,
12:24the directors had to rethink certain elements.
12:27Among them, Polly's fate,
12:29who died in the premiere of the 6th season.
12:32I'm heartbroken to announce that after a heroic battle with cancer,
12:36the beautiful and mighty woman that is Helen McCrory
12:39has died peacefully at home.
12:57Did you lock the door after you?
12:59Yeah, I did.
13:00You know, somebody called here last night.
13:02After Jack.
13:04Oh.
13:05You think I'd answer? It was Jacko.
13:07When Nancy Marchant was chosen to play
13:10the reprehensible mother of Tony and Livia Soprano,
13:13the producers knew they were taking a risk.
13:16In addition to emphysema and EPOC,
13:18she had lung cancer for a few years.
13:21Marchant's agent was frank with the Soprano producers,
13:25but they still loved her.
13:26Although she was supposed to die soon,
13:29her winning performance of A Golden Globe
13:31convinced the team to keep her for the second season.
13:47Marchant said shortly before her death in June 2000,
13:50If I die, it's not my problem.
13:52It's David Chase who stays with the dead.
13:55Although he had great plans for Livia,
13:58his death forced the show to fire him in the third season
14:01with archival footage and CGI.
14:04I never stated those tickets were stolen, capiche?
14:07Now Barbara will testify I didn't say it,
14:09but you gotta back her up.
14:10I suppose I should have just kept my mouth shut,
14:13like a mute.
14:16You know as well as I,
14:17no treasure is worth as much as the good
14:20that can be done with it.
14:28You know as well as I,
14:29no treasure is worth as much as the good
14:31that can be done with it.
