Tragedy on Set: "Across the Border"
Manage episode 427841010 series 3372828
The deaths of Grace McHugh and Owen Carter on the set of "Across the Border" are two of the earliest - if not the first - human deaths to occur on set while filming...and they never should have happened. In fact, filming had already wrapped on the production. There was just one problem: one of the scenes had been damaged in the development process so they had to reshoot it. No big deal, right? Wrong. What was meant to be a quick afternoon turned into tragedy, ending the lives of two rising stars.
