Bruce Lee

His death was considered to be under 'extraordinarily bizarre' circumstances by many experts. Many people claimed that it was the work of 'Oni' (Japanese for Demons or evil spirits), while others claimed he was cursed. The theory of the 'Curse of Bruce Lee' carried over to the extremely bizarre death of his son, Brandon Lee, who was shot and killed during the filming of The Crow in 1993.

Shannen Doherty

While on the set of Blindfold: Acts of Obsession (TV), she met Judd Nelson and they later became engaged.

Infuriated William Friedkin when she failed to turn up for the first day of shooting for Jailbreakers (TV) in Hollywood. As it turned out, she had just returned from Italy, where she raised hell by turning up late for an interview on a television talk show. Friedkin's first reaction was to call for auditions and look at 12 other actresses to take her part. He changed his mind and decided to stick with Doherty.
