Albert Dekker's death scene in KISS ME DEADLY (1955): Prior to this scene the audience has heard Albert Dekker's character speak, but not seen him. The camera focused on his wing tip shoes instead.

Late character actor Albert Dekker (December 20, 1905 -- May 5, 1968) was an American character actor and politician best known for his roles in Dr. Cyclops, The Killers, Kiss Me Deadly, and The Wild Bunch.

On May 5, 1968, Dekker was found dead in his Hollywood apartment after failing to answer numerous phone calls for two days. Although money and camera equipment were missing, there were no signs of forced entry. He was found naked, kneeling in his bathtub with a noose wrapped around his neck that was looped around the shower's curtain rod. He was also handcuffed, blindfolded, gagged and had sexually explicit words scrawled on his body in red lipstick. The coroner's ruling was accidental death by autoerotic asphyxiation.

Dekker was 62 years old. He was interred at Garden State Crematory in North Bergen, New Jersey.
