This is a very straight-forward documentary on the death of actors and actresses that doesn't really present anything much I did not already know. It does however, explore the deaths of quite a few people that I've never heard of, but that didn't do much for me. Does provide some interesting old film clips and studio footage of certain stars. Also shows what I believe was actual footage of the accident during the filming of "Twilight Zone, the Movie" which cost Vic Morrow (and two Vietnamese children) their lives. A good deal of this is presented in a very dry way, meaning there's little to interest the viewer. However, more in-depth profiles are presented for James Dean, Jayne Mansfield, Sharon Tate, Ernie Kovac, and Marilyn Monroe, some of which is a little gruesome. I'm not much for documentaries, myself, and I'm not sure how much audience there is for such material, but some of the old film clips and footage from TV shows (including commercials) is somewhat interesting. I guess this would be for historical value only and not of much interest to the "general public" though.
