Feature Request: Visual "Deceased" label on actor profiles with expandable cause of death
Hello IMDb Team and Community,I would like to propose a feature to improve how the platform displays information about deceased actors, making it more informative and visually clear for users browsing filmographies or cast lists.The Issue:
Currently, when an actor passes away, the information is only visible as text under their birth/death dates or deep within their biography. If a user is looking at a movie's main cast list or an actor's primary photo banner, there is no immediate visual indicator showing they have passed.Proposed Solution:Why this would be beneficial:
- Visual Indicator: Add a respectful and discrete visual label (such as a "Deceased" tag or a small commemorative ribbon icon) directly on or next to the actor's primary profile photo.
- Interactive Details: Make this label interactive. When a user clicks or hovers over the "Deceased" tag, a small pop-up window or tool-tip should appear displaying the date of passing, age, and the official cause of death.
I believe this small update would add massive value to how we navigate and learn about our favorite cinematic artists. I would love to hear what other users and the development team think about this.Thank you for your time and for keeping IMDb the best movie database in the world!
- Better User Experience: Users wouldn't need to leave IMDb or open multiple tabs to look up external search engines to find out what happened to a specific actor.
- Respectful Awareness: It keeps the database modern, accurate, and immediately clear at a single glance.
