- The highest-grossing indie film of all time is: “The Passion of the Christ”.
- Vikings didn’t wear helmets with horns. It comes from a performance of Richard Wagner’s opera “The Ring” in 1876. The costume designer made horned helmets for the Vikings in the show, and the image stuck.
- Before Kurt Vonnegut was a famous author, he worked at “Sports Illustrated”. But he got fired quickly when he was supposed to write an article about a racehorse that escaped, and he only wrote one sentence: “The horse jumped over the [effing] fence.”
- The late fashion designer Kate Spade was David Spade’s sister-in-law.
