    Countless famous men (be they involved in film or not) are alleged to have had the two bottom ribs from their back removed so they could perform autofellatio.

    A very young Jon Bon Jovi was long rumoured to have played Charlie in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Despite the striking similarity, it isn't him.

    Lupe Velez did not drown in her toilet.

    Similar to the bon jovi one but this one is actually true. The little kid doing the banjo duel in Deliverance was the first break for Thom Yorke who went on to have a successful career with radiohead

    This is true. Unfortunately young Thom didn't actually know how to play the banjo and had to have a body double do it for him...

    That the production of the movie Poltergeist was cursed by evil spirits with cast and crew dropping like flies. The little girl did fall ill and die midway through making Poltergeist 3, and the Preacher Cain guy from number 2 was on his last legs making the movie. There were a bunch of others apparently that went before their time too.

    Less 'cursed by imaginary evil spirits' and more 'blighted by actual radioactive fallout' were the cast and crew of John Wayne's Genghis Khan flick "The Conqueror". The movie was filmed in the same desert they used to test atomic bombs. Lots of them fell ill directly as a result of this over the following years (including Wayne). Not a legend as such, just more sort of sad.

    Definitely not true, Thom is little more than a devilishly handsome swamp rat

    The Exorcist and The Omen were both cursed. Seriously, a lot of freaky stuff happened when those films were being made. And afterwards too.

    That when Bill Murray was younger he met older Bill Murray who told younger Bill Murray that someday he'd win an Oscar.
