* Creator/GraceKelly's movie career lasted just five years (1951 to 1956). Creator/JamesDean's movie career lasted several years and three movies. His first ''lead'' role, ''Film/EastOfEden'' was released only six months before his death and that was also ''the only'' film whose premiere Dean attended. ''Film/RebelWithoutACause'' and ''Film/{{Giant}}'' were both posthumous releases. Creator/BruceLee's film career included many bit parts in Hong Kong, but he only starred in four complete films over a three year period (plus ''Film/GameOfDeath'', which was unfinished).

** Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin, tends to be seen as Spider-Man's greatest foe, but his actual time in the spotlight was relatively short. He appeared in-costume in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko'' #14 (1964), and went on to show up in around three stories (one being a two-parter) before issue 40 (1966) revealed his true identity and had him suffer EasyAmnesia that made him forget his time as the Goblin. After that point, he didn't appear in-costume until ''ASM'' #96-98 in 1971, and his next story, #121-122 in 1973, had him killed off ([[ILetGwenStacyDie taking Gwen Stacy with him]]). So that's around eight appearances, and he was only showing up regularly during a two-year period--and he was hardly the biggest fish in the pond at the time, with Doctor Octopus having a much better claim on the "Spider-Man's greatest foe" title. Much of the reason Gerry Conway made Norman the one to kill Gwen Stacy was that after the mystery of his identity had been solved and the question of "what if he comes back?" had been answered, there wasn't a lot left to do with the guy, meaning Conway felt he could kill him off without too many issues. After that point, the role was carried on by a number of {{Legacy Character}}s, many of whom had considerably longer tenures, before Norman was brought back in ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga''... at which point he'd been dead far longer than he'd been alive.
