1. Walt Disney’s brother Roy purchased the first-ever Disneyland ticket.  It cost $1.00 in 1955.  That’s about $12 in today’s money.
2. You always hear about Lassie saving Timmy when he fell down a well.  But it never happened in any of the 571 episodes of “Lassie”.  The only character who ever fell down a well was . . . LASSIE.
3. Nicolas Cage was offered the role of Shrek but turned it down because he was afraid kids would only think of him as an ogre.
4. George Lucas originally wanted Tom Selleck to be Indiana Jones.  And he would’ve been, if he hadn’t signed a contract to do “Magnum P.I.”
5. The last NFL game to end in a zero-zero tie was the New York Giants against the Detroit Lions in 1943.
