17 CELEBRITIES WHO DIED WHILE MAKING MOVIES

If you think acting isn’t dangerous, think again. Not only do actors sometimes put their bodies in harms’ way on set, but they also put their emotional and mental health at risk, exposing themselves to long, difficult hours, harsh tabloid coverage, and lives that can be rather isolating. Tragic as it is, some actors have died before the films they are working on are complete. In many cases, these circumstances create even more buzz around a film or episode of a show, drawing fans of the deceased to watch in hoards so they can pay homage to a beloved actor in his or her final performance. One of the most famous cases is Heath Ledger, who died before filming was completed for “The Dark Knight.” These are 17 celebrities who died while making movies.

HOW TO BE THE CIO OF TOMORROW

The future of the CIO is perched precariously on the branch of relevance. In other words, the CIO can soar on the wings of massive transformation, helping companies become world-class digital businesses. Or CIOs can topple under this pressure and be “usurped” by a CIO capable of leading this transformation, says Forrester.
Today’s CIO must be a natural leader, fast and agile, says CIO Kevin Griffin at GE Capital International. Technical skills and traditional IT services will take a back seat to emerging digital business technologies in social, mobile, analytics and the cloud. These business technologies, for instance, will help marketers manage the customer journey converting customer engagements into sales.
But what, exactly, does this future CIO look like? CIO.com spoke with Griffin to get his take on the role of the future CIO. Griffin admittedly comes from the IT ranks but is quick to point out that tomorrow’s CIO probably won’t have a technical background. This new kind of CIO will not only have to lead a technical staff but be a leader of leaders in the boardroom as well.
