These People Were Killed On The Set Of A Movie

An accident on the set of the Alec Baldwin-starring western "Rust" that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has once again exposed the dangerous working conditions many Hollywood crews are forced to work under. On October 21, 2021, Baldwin accidentally fired a prop weapon on set during a rehearsal, believing it to be a "cold gun." The accident happened just hours after union crew members, protesting unsafe working conditions, were told to leave the set. The "Rust" incident is far from the first time a deadly accident has occurred on a film set. Here is a brief history of people killed on the set of a movie.
