Movie characters that turned out to be real people

 Krusty the Clown (The Simpsons)– Jim Allen from Rusty Nails 

i love the simpsons, i watch it whenever i do have chance and thats every evening, someone told me one character was rili expecting it to be Homer but then i googled and it was Krusty the clown.Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofski, better known by his stage name, "Krusty the Clown", is the cynical, burnt out, addiction-riddled smoking clown host of Bart and Lisa's favorite TV show, The Krusty the Clown Show. The character of Krusty was partially inspired by real-life clown "Rusty Nails" whom Simpsons creator Matt Groening watched as a child while growing up in Portland, Oregon. Jim Allen (b. 1928 or 1929) portrayed the clown character Rusty Nails.

Lucy (50 First Dates) - Michelle Philpots

50 first dates was soo funny i could watch it over and over again and still love it! Adam Sandler is Hillarious,Well Lucy played by Drew Barrmore is actually Michelle Philpots, she wakes up next to a man who has to convince her they are married. When she expresses doubt, he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures  of their wedding 13 years ago. Only then does amnesiac Mrs Philpots accept she is talking to her husband, Ian, and that everything he has told her is true. The 47-year-old's condition was caused by brain injuries sustained in two road accidents. She can recall everything up to 1994 but since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next. Her case echoes 50 First Dates, the 2004 movie in which Adam Sandler tries to woo Drew Barrymore, who has no day-to-day memory following a car crash is just moving!

 

 

 

Viktor Navorski (The Terminal) - Mehran Nasseri

 In The terminal Tom Hanks plays a man who spend months stuck in diplomatic limbo living in an airport .The movie was inspired by a real-life character who lived at terminal one of Paris Charles De Gaulle airport. The living urban legend is Mehran Nasseri, known as “Sir Alfred” to those who work at the airport. Stranded without papers, Nasseri was a stateless refugee from Iran, unwanted by any nation. Having claimed to have one British parent, he decided to settle in the UK in 1986, but en route to there in 1988, his briefcase containing his papers was stolen in Paris. Despite this setback, he boarded the plane for London but was promptly returned to France when he failed to present a passport to British immigration. He was initially arrested by the French, but then released as his entry to the airport was legal and he had no country of origin to be returned to. A red plastic bench beside a luggage store was his home for no less than 18 years. Nasseri's life at the airport ended in July 2006 when he was hospitalized and his sitting place dismantled.

Norman Bates (Psycho) - Ed Gein

This was my fave horror in black and white! i watched it psycho 1-5 all of em!!The story is actually about Norman Bates, he is a psychologically disturbed hotel owner who has delusions that his dead mother, whose body he keeps in the cellar, wants to kill hotel guests. He develops a dual personality and dresses like her when he commits his murders. The film's screenplay by Joseph Stefano was adapted from a novel of the same name by author Robert Bloch. Remarkably, Bloch's 1959 novel was based on legendary real-life, Plainfield, Wisconsin psychotic serial killer Edward Gein, who was arrested in 1957 for committing two murders and digging up the corpses of countless other women who reminded him of his dead mother. He skinned the bodies to make lamp shades, socks and a "woman suit" in hopes of becoming a woman. He was found to be insane and spent the rest of his life in a mental institution....creeeepy!

Emily Rose (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) - Anneliese Michel

 This movie was sooooo scary... a priest is on trial for the death of a young woman named Emily Rose, upon whom he had performed an exorcism. The film was inspired by Anneliese Michel, a 16-year-old German girl who, in 1968, began displaying symptoms of demonic possession. For years, she suffered paralysis, self-abuse, starvation and demonic visions until 1975, when two priests performed exorcisms of what was believed to be several demons over 10 months. During that time, Anneliese barely ate, and she died of starvation in July 1976. Her parents and the priests were tried and found guilty of manslaughter. They were sentenced to six months in jail.
