The tragedy of Bruce Lee and his son, Brandon Lee (true story!)

 
When martial arts legend Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema in 1973, his fans speculated that the cause of death may have come from the "Dim Mak," or the "Touch of Death" he received a few weeks prior. "Dim Mak" refers to the idea in martial arts that touching certain parts of the body in sequence can cause death. Fans of Bruce were further spooked when his son Brandon was accidentally shot to death on the set of The Crow in 1993. Though Brandon died early in the filming process, the producers completed the movie with special effects and a stunt man in Lee's place.

Something you might not know about the Kennedy family...

Aside from the tragic assassinations of John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his brother Bobby Kennedy in 1968, their brother Ted Kennedy ran his car off a bridge in Chappaquiddick in 1969, and managed to escape - but his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, was not so lucky - she drowned, leading to conspiracy theories that Kennedy had driven the car into the water on purpose. In 1999, JFK's son died in a plane crash with his wife and her sister.

Believe it or not--John Lennon: "Number 9" Curse

Lennon was convinced that he was cursed by the number nine. He was born on October 9th, 1940 in Liverpool and the band was "discovered" on November 9, 1961. The Beatles played The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964. He met Yoko Ono on November 9th, 1966. The Beatles later broke up after nine years together. His son Sean was born nine years after he met Ono, on John's birthday, October 9th. Tragically, he was shot and killed on December 8th, 1980, but in Liverpool, where he was born, the date was (you guessed it) December 9th.
