Gloria Grahame killed again


I first watched THE BIG HEAT (1953): Gloria Grahame, in an independent woman role, was finally killed.
Then I watched the a year later released NAKED ALIBI: Gloria Grahame in an independent woman role again, she was finally killed too.

I suppose this is that Hays Code ') at it's best: punish independent women, promote the kitchen-women. Horrible. Viva pre-Code.
I cann't believe, Gloria was type-cast: "woman to be killed"; or co-incident?

Yes of course--all of these movies were made as a plot of the patriarchy to denigrate and oppress independent women. That's what they're really about.
