Julia Ormond played the Audrey Hepburn role in the generally-panned remake of Sabrina.
Julia Roberts lies on her back to have her make-up applied before going onto a film set. She insists it gives her a relaxed look.
Eric Roberts’s first role was Ted Bancroft on the now-defunct NBC daytime soap opera Another World from February 14, 1977, to June 17, 1977. Head writer Harding LeMay admitted that they killed off the character because they didn’t like the way Roberts looked on camera.
Warren G. Harding probably died of a heart condition, which was not noted in time because his personal physician – an early version of a homeopath – misdiagnosed his symptoms.
Warren G. Harding is a character in Glen David Gold’s novel Carter Beats the Devil.
Harding’s middle name was “Gamaliel”, who was a famous rabbi of the Pharisee school in Jerusalem in the first century A.D. S. Paul recounts that he studied at the feet of Gamaliel.
Australian actor Paul Hogan once held a job as a painter on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The Bridge or command center on a Constitution-class starship such as the USS Enterprise was on Deck 1.
Paul Hogan was married to his first wife for 23 years before they divorced, then remarried her a year later. He divorced her a second time a few years later to marry his Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski, from whom he recently filed for divorce after 23 years; perhaps history will repeat and they’ll remarry next year until he divorces her for a co-star in a few years.

Playing off Elendil’s:
People wasting time and energy on pointless and unnecessary activities while ignoring a potential catastrophe are said to be “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic”.
Raise the Titanic (1980) proved so costly to make that producer Lew Grade said: “It would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic!”
A scene from GHOSTBUSTERS 2 and an episode of the series Supernatural both involve the Titanic’s arrival in New York harbor.
Bill Murray agreed to do Ghostbusters (1984) only on the condition that Columbia finance a remake of The Razor’s Edge with him as the star.
Razor Ramon’s finishing move in the World Wrestling Federation, a crucifix powerbomb, was called The Razor’s Edge. The WWF owned the trademark to the “Razor Ramon” name, so when he jumped to WCW and started going by his real name Scott Hall, he had to change the finisher’s name to “The Outsiders’ Edge”, named after the tag-team he was part of.
Occam’s Razor is a principle of parsimony, attributed to the Englishman, William of Ockham. It has been opposed by others, such as Walter of Chatton, another Englishman and contemporary of William of Ockham, who formulated an anti-razor: “If three things are not enough to verify an affirmative proposition about things, a fourth must be added, and so on.”
William James Adams Jr is better known as Will i Am of the Black Eyed Peas.
The Black Eyed Peas’ famous party song, “Let’s Get It Started” was originally recorded and released as “Let’s Get Retarded”, on the band’s second album, “Elephunk”. It became a hit only after A&M management convinced producer Will.I.Am that a minor change in lyrics would do the trick. The song is included in the films It’s a Boy Girl Thing, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Hot Tub Time Machine, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, and White Chicks.

Gladstone’s Under the Sun’s line of blueberries and blueberry products are labeled with the slogan: The Caviar of Maine.
Former parliamentarian Roy Jenkins has written bestselling biographies of two great Prime Ministers, William Gladstone and Winston Churchill.
