Jess Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 left handed people can type faster than right handed people. This is because when the qwerty keyboard was designed to slow down people the majority of whom are right handed, all the most frequently used keys are hit by the left hand! Finally, after so many years of smudging pages of work written in fountain pen, my left-handedness has a use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 More entertainment facts (and all 100% useless ) The Sound of Music "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" was shot in the gazebo, one of the last to be done. On the first take, Charmian Carr (Liesl) slipped while leaping across a bench, and fell through a pane of glass. Although she was not badly injured, her ankle was hurt and the scene was later shot with her leg wrapped and makeup covering the bandages The real Maria von Trapp makes a cameo apperance, she was the elder of the two women in Austrian peasant garb who are in the background as Maria walks through a brick archway during "I Have Confidence" During the scene with Maria and the Captain at the gazebo, Julie Andrews couldn't stop laughing due to a lighting device that was making, in her words, a "raspberry" every time she leaned in to kiss Plummer. After more than 20 takes, the scene was altered to silhouette the two and to hide Andrews' giggles Six burly Austrians were hired to pull the heavy car by two ropes while the actors push from behind when the von Trapps are escaping their home in Salzburg Kym Karath (Gretl) couldn't swim, so the original idea was to get Julie Andrews to catch her when the boat tips up and they all fall in the water. However, during the second take the boat toppled over so that Andrews fell to one side and Karath fell to the other. Heather Menzies had to save her instead. Andrews stated later she felt guilty about this for years Peggy Wood (Mother Abbess)'s singing was dubbed, as she herself declared that she was too old to handle the vocals Christopher Plummer intensely disliked working on the film. He's been known to refer to it as "The Sound of Mucus" and likened working with Julie Andrews to "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card, every day." Nontheless, he and Andrews have remained close friends ever since The movie featured a rare onscreen performance by Marni Nixon, who plays Sister Sophia. The producers weren't sure how Julie Andrews would react to her after Nixon dubbed Audrey Hepburn in a role made famous by Andrews, but when Andrews first met Nixon, she exclaimed, "Marni, I'm a fan of you!" and the producers were relieved The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas Other people that were up for Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton's roles in the film included Willie Nelson for the role of Ed Earl Dodd and Barbara Mandrell and Crystal Gayle for the role of Miss Mona The film went over budget because of the various production problems. Several directors came and went, the script was always being rewritten and Dolly Parton wrote several more songs than were eventually included Marvin Zindler, on which Melvin P. Thorpe is based, liked the play but didn't like the film. Zindler said that his crusade against the Chicken Ranch has been taken out of context. He wasn't trying to get it closed down because of the prostitution, but because of the Ranch's reported ties to organized crime and other shady business dealings In terms of box-office "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas" was the most successful movie-musical of the 1980's Steel Magnolias Daryl Hannah was originally turned down for the role of Annelle as the director thought that she was too attractive to play the part, she asked if she could come in and read for the part anyway. She arrived at the studio the next day dressed as Annelle and was so unrecognisable that security refused to let her in Meg Ryan was initially under contract to play Shelby, the Julia Roberts role, but the producers let her out of it to play Sally in When Harry Met Sally... Dolly Parton and Darryl Hannah studied hair stylists so their scenes where they are doing hair would be real and authentic After a poor take, director Herbert Ross reprimanded Dolly Parton and asked her if she could act. She replied "No, but it's your job to make me look like I can!" When Bette Davis saw the off-Broadway play, she thought it would be a great film for her, envisioning herself as Ouiser, Katharine Hepburn as Clairee, and Elizabeth Taylor as Truvy. However, when she contacted the rights holders for the movie adaptation, she found out that they intended to cast much younger actresses Robert Harling, the man who wrote the play Steel Magnolias in honor of his sister, plays the pastor who performs Shelby's wedding and then again her funeral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
