His Dad was caught by a US spy satellite, the Pentagon came across a picture of his Dad's vehicle parked in front of the Judge's house at the time of the murder. (I love jury rumors.)

I am not surprise by this. I have work with different kids over the years (work related) and you see some kids from good parents turn bad, and some kids with bad parents turn out to be the next golden child (slightly exaggerated). Of course people sometimes will do most despicable thing for the greater good. Maybe the mob threaten to kill and mutilate his son if he didn't do the job (totally possible, but I made it up no link to this) you be surprise what parents will do to protect their own children. (I read the wiki that he ran out on the family... didn't give a reason, maybe because of safety? who knows)

gotta love conspiracy theory ;)

When he did Natural Born Killers, someone (I want to say Oprah) asked if he thought he got the part because of his father's history, and he said no, he thought he got the part because someone felt he could act.

I don't think it tops the OP, but here's one:

Did you know that James Cameron originally wanted someone else to play the Terminator, but ultimately decided that his first choice just "wasn't believable as a killer"?


His choice...O.J. Simpson.

Heh, I went to high school with Sam, and this was the first thing I saw him in that wasn't a school production.

More than a year before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, his son Robert Lincoln has his life saved from a train accident. The man who saved Robert was Edwin Booth, the brother of John Wilkes Booth.

Here's a nice tall glass of WTF. Not so much her protest as others have done the same thing but the way she looks. She looks fake, like a robot. Did John Connor fail?

I knew the Julia Child and Audrey Hepburn stories. My mom could not stand Hepburn when she was famous, then mom learned that she got that waif figure from nearly starving to death during the Nazi occupation. Audrey earn major cool points with my mother for that. ...and the undercover work she did.

Mel's interviews about the war, he always said he was basically a REMF. It is impressive to know he was an engineer.
