Marilyn Monroe had six toes.
Not true! (She had eleven. Five on one side and six on the other - the extra digit was surgically removed.)

David Prowse, was the guy in the Darth Vader suit in Star Wars. He spoke all of Vader's lines, and didn't know that he was going to be dubbed over by James Earl Jones until he saw the screening of the movie.
 
David also played a body-building home care assistant in A Clockwork Orange.  At that time, he was billing himself as the strongest man in the World.
