Top 10 Posthumous Film Roles
In honor of Bernie Mac's last performance, in Soul Men, TIME looks back at the most memorable posthumous movie performances of all time.
After Dracula, the guy couldn't get a break. Left to star in B-horror movies and Edgar Allen Poe adaptations, the former Hungarian heartthrob became a drug addict in his later years. Lugosi died on August 16, 1956 of a heart attack at the age of 73 and was buried in his Dracula cape. His final appearance on film, just a few minutes of footage, was incorporated into director Ed Wood's Plan 9, widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
