Occupational hazards in the entertainment industry

Occupational diseases or accidents on movie sets are not uncommon.  91 people on site during the movie "The Conqueror " contracted cancer. 46 of them died including John Wayne, Agnes Moorehead  about 30years later from exposure to radioactive material at the nearby Neveda. Vic Marrow and child actor Myca Dinh Le  during the movie "Twilight zone" were decapitated by a helicopter flying low  while those on the helicopter suffered injuries. Roy Kinnear in "The return of the musketeers:" fell over a horse, sustained a broken hip and died of a heart attack the next day.
