@khadafimahfud8 ,

Please change your question from:

Who actor from this list did you not realize had died before or after you planned to watched it?

To:
Which actor from this list did you not realize had died before their last film made its debut?

Reasons for change:

  1. I believe this question better reflects the intent of your poll.
  2. Which should be used instead of who.

Nice research.

This is a hard poll for me to answer, since I have been aware that all of these actors died before their last film made its debut.

I actually want to use an action verb like "most anticipated", but I feel like I can't cover outdated votes, in this case actors who died in the 20th century. Or the action verb in the form of "most touching", but I also feel that this can make a difference to this list, between the dominant Actor role and the supporting Actor role that lacks scenes in the last film, so that the poll will not be balanced later in my opinion.

Maybe you have suggestions for other questions or I maintain the current statement?

Could "actor" maybe be replaced with "actors"? The plural possessive pronoun adjective is commonly used in this way in contemporary times, but I'd imagine a great many people have not yet become accustomed to it.

@jeorj_euler​ yes, I used actors, but it was recommended not to add 's'.

I'm new here, so I just follow the mutually agreed way. ☺️

@khadafimahfud8​ 

It should be plural in the title:

Actors Who Didn't Live to See Their Final Films

And singular in the question (as you have written):

Which actor from this list did you not realize had died before their last film made its debut?

What Jessica has pointed out is what I meant. My apologies. While wordings like "Which actor from this list did you not realize had died before their last film made its debut?" are also like a pet peeve to some, me included, under the circumstances of the day, I can understand why using "their" instead of "his or her" might be unavoidable.

I'm surprised that David Caradine didn't make the list, but then again perhaps there just isn't enough room.

Perhaps this is a more simple version of your current question:

Which actor from this list left the most unexpected last impression in the world of cinema?
