This brings up another subject which interests me.  What about films where
characters were played by two (or more???) actors?  ED WOOD got me started
here, with Bela Lugosi's death.  Jean Harlow in SARATOGA.  Natalie Wood in
that science fiction film (at least one aspect of the plot was changed
following her death).  There's a story--true or apocryphal--that Guru Dutt
played the lead in PYAASA, in my opinion his greatest film, because the actor
who was supposed to do it quit at the last minute.
 
Any more?
