John Standing (1934 - )
Grandson of Guy Standing and Dorothy Hammond
Son of
Kay Hammond
Ex-Mr. Jill Melford
Mr. Sarah Forbes
(thus son-in-law of Bryan Forbes & Nanette Newman)
8 1/2 Women (1999) [Philip Emmenthal]: Dies of unspecified natural causes (presumably heart failure, although it appears to be too quiet and peaceful for a heart attack), while Polly Walker is manually stimulating him in the bedroom.

The Calling (2000) [Jack Plummer]: Electrocuted when Alice Krige drops a lamp or some other electrical device (I can't recall exactly what was used) into his hot tub during a gathering of the cultists.

V for Vendetta (2005) [Bishop Lilliman]: Poisoned (off-screen) by Hugo Weaving; his body is shown afterwards while Stephen Rea and Rupert Graves investigate the scene. (In the original graphic novel, it was specified that he was killed with a cyanide-laced communion wafer; in the film, the only indication that he was poisoned is Hugo's line "Stick out your tongue.")
