Alfalfa didn't died in a barroom bawl, his friend was owed money by the person that killed Alfalfa. Alfalfa went with his friend to collect the money and was shot by the man that owed the money. The judged ruled justifiable homicide when as a knife was planet on Alfalfa. In the early 2000's the rest of the story came out as one of the children of the man told what really happened that night, after shooting Alfalfa he put the knife in Alfalfa's hand and told the man that he owed the 50.00 dollars to, he would do the same to him if he didn't go along with the self defense story.

Isnt there a supposed poltergist curse where everyone died weird in that movie? or is that some other movie


My ex's mother has the dress that the mother wore on set in the final scenes of the film. When she was in the pool etc. Anyways, it had been in storage and they were going through things, found it and brought it home. A month and a half later her mother was having issues, went to the doctor and found she had developed cancer.

In the last couple years one of the twins from Everybody Loves Raymond killed himself and the little girl from The Patriot died.



I had no idea about the girl from the patriot, and had no idea she was from Houston.

Damn had NO clue about her. I had just looked up all those actors and actresses recently after I caught it on TV a few months ago wondering if any of them were still working.
That's terrible

Bobby Driscoll, one of the biggest child stars of all time, died penniless on the streets at age 31. Buried in an unmarked public grave, nobody even knew it was him until almost 2 years later.
