Marilyn Monroe dimensions
1. Marilyn Monroe had a size 16
Whenever it comes to beauty standards, the first thing that comes to mind is not skinny runway models, but buxom and juicy Marilyn Monroe.
The actress was considered a recognized sex symbol of the last century precisely because of her forms. It is believed that Monroe wore a dress size 16, which is our size 44. However, this can't be true.
Recently, part of the actress's wardrobe was put up for auction. Among the sexy blonde's clothes was the notorious white dress from the movie “The Seven Year Itch”, as well as the equally famous red dress in which Monroe shone on the set of “Gentlemen” They prefer blondes.”
We're more beautiful than we think
The audience was shocked to see the tiny mannequins on which the outfits were presented. Both dresses are not large, but rather of a non-standard size, surprised everyone present, who believed that Marilyn's dimensions were much larger.
In fact, the actress's figure did not meet generally accepted standards, in that her waist was disproportionately smaller than her bust and hips. In short, Monroe's figure is a classic example of the so-called hourglass.
It is known that Marilyn's parameters were as follows: bust about 87 cm, waist 56 cm. These data refute existing stereotypes that the size of the famous blonde exceeded the usual norms. Today, this is the standard clothing size. Most modern actresses have about the same forms as Monroe.
2. The ghost of a boy from the movie Three Men and a Baby
In 1987, the film “Three Men and a Baby” was released. In one scene, viewers were shocked by the boy's figure in the background.
The story of the so-called ghost in the frame has grown into a true urban legend. A lot of speculation has been put forward about where the boy came from on set in the film.
There were rumors that a nine-year-old child shot himself with a gun in a New York apartment rented to shoot a movie several years ago. According to most viewers, it was his ghost that appeared in the frame for a few seconds.
However, experts denied all rumors, explaining the appearance of the “spirit” just a play of light and shadow. And the filmmakers claim that the outline of a person in the background is nothing more than a cardboard dummy imitating the figure of one of the main characters.
A small oversight on the part of the organizers, poor attention to detail and nothing more, nothing supernatural. The skeptics are absolutely sure of this.
3. Back to the Future predicts the future
When Miami Marlins, a professional baseball club, won the 1997 World Series, there were rumors that the team's triumph was predicted in the second part of Back to the Future.
Good and bad angels in Hollywood and in the Bible
It was as if one of the characters in the film predicted that this team would win. However, a closer look at the episode of the film makes it clear that Miami Marlins should beat their rivals in the final in 2015.
4. The famous actress became the face of Gerber
In 1931, the mascot of Gerber, which produces products for children, was the baby's face.
For several decades, many have wondered whose face became the symbol of the famous brand. Various suggestions have been put forward about what kind of child this is.
The names of all kinds of celebrities were mentioned, up to Elizabeth Taylor. However, these myths were later debunked.
In 1978, it became clear that the baby on the logo was none other than Ann Turner Cook, who by that time had become a popular writer of mystery stories and novels.
However, many people still believe in outdated information about whose face a well-known brand of children's products adorns.
Director Spielberg
5. Steven Spielberg started his career by making his way to Universal Studios
This story is a myth invented by the director himself. It was as if young Spielberg snuck into the studio secretly. When Stephen found the office empty, he went in and rented it. Spielberg then added his name to Universal Studios's staff list.
At this office, Spielberg met with the right people who helped him build a career in the film industry. And everyone imagined Steven as a new studio director, until one day he was actually appointed one to shoot one film.
This is what the legend invented by Spielberg himself says. However, this is not the case. The truth, on the other hand, is more prosaic.
In fact, Steven came to Universal Studios at a young age, but not by accident. One of Spielberg's father's friends took the guy to the studio for an unpaid internship, where he carried out all the assignments of his superiors.
The highest-paid jobs in the film industry
The legend does not lie only about one thing: the boy really made the most of his stay at the film studio. After being just an errand boy for a director for a long time, he was finally allowed to shoot a movie episode, after which his career took off.
6. Richard Gere and the rodent
Since the early 90s, poor Richard Gere has been haunted by rumors that he had sexual intercourse with a mouse rodent.
However, according to the actor himself, such tales about him were invented by another Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone, who, in turn, denies any involvement in the birth of such a rumor.
7. The death of an actress from the Bondiniad
It was rumored that in one of the famous 1964 James Bond films, the actress died after her body was covered with gold paint.
The explanation was as follows: as if the paint caused the actress to suffocate, because a person breathes through pores on the skin.
However, it is a misconception to think that we breathe only because of our skin. Of course, the lungs perform the main function of our body's breathing. And we give only a small part of our “breathing” to the skin.
Blocking our skin pores like this is not a good idea. If the paint contains toxic substances, a person can slowly poison the body with it, but, of course, this does not lead to instant death, as the legend says.
It should be added that actress Shirley Eaton is alive and well.
Lee's “The Raven”
8. The last moments of Brandon Lee's life are captured in the film “The Raven”
Bruce Lee's son Brandon's promising career was interrupted by his sudden death while filming The Raven in 1993.
In the scene where young Lee's character is killed, instead of a blank bullet, the actor was shot with a live bullet, which hit the stomach and led to a massive hemorrhage. A few hours later, Brandon Lee died in hospital.
Fans claim that this awful moment stayed in the movie. However, this is not the case. For aesthetic reasons, the director removed the film with the actor's tragic end. The character's murder scene was shot anew with the help of an understudy.
Therefore, the main character in the film is played by 2 people: Brandon Lee, as well as his understudy Chad Stahelski.
In order not to try his luck twice, the director decided to replace the gun in the scene with the murder of the character with a knife.
The Amityville Horror is a true story
9. The events of The Amityville Horror really took place
The fact that the story described in the film actually existed ensured the book and film a huge success.
However, to this day, there are many doubts about the reality of the events. Perhaps the members of the Litz family, who are the main participants in all the actions, simply wanted to make a name for themselves and make money on a mystical story.
Jane Mansfield
10. Jane Mansfield was beheaded
The actress, with whom the image of the famous Barbie doll was painted, died in a car accident that occurred in 1967. There were rumors that the actress's head was detached from her flawless body.
Myths about the future
However, reliable sources know that as a result of the accident, only the upper part of the blonde's skull was cut off, and the torn off blond head was nothing more than a wig that the beauty has been wearing it lately.
