Jim Korkis pointed out an interesting little factoid about someone spelling their own name wrong in the handprints in front of the Great Movie Ride. ; Who is this scholar? ; (NO CHEATING!) [attachimg=1] Winner gets 1,553,567 TMIP trivia points [nb]no actual value[/nb]
Does anybody have a chart on how many names are there? By God, I think I know this one! ; But I'll wait to see what anyone else comes up with.
I think I had to cheat (although I am not 100% sure in the answer even after 20 minutes of searching) to maybe find out who it is. ; So obviously I am waiting to see the correct answer once posted.
OK...been dropping all kinds of hints, but noone else is chiming in here. Anyone have a "chart on"... "By God" I think I know it... "It's people"... Hopefully not "dirty"... "Uy guvalt"... All those hints, and no takers. ; Holy Moses, what a disaster!
It's spelled Charlton in real life, but the signature says 'Charton'. ; (that was my first clue above, about anyone having a 'chart on' how many names there are). And just to go through the other clues I dropped... "By God" I think I know it... - Greatest Story Ever Told, Ten Commandments, Ben Hur - he did lots of Bible epics. "It's people"... - Soylent Green...which you find out as the movie goes on what exactly Soylent Green is..."It's people!" Hopefully not "dirty"... - Planet of the Apes - as in, get your hands off me, you 'dirty' ape. "Uy guvalt"... - Both Moses and Ben Hur were Jewish characters. All those hints, and no takers. ; Holy Moses, what a disaster! - There goes Moses name-dropping again. ; And the 'disaster' reference of course from the 1970s disaster movies of which he appeared in a few.
I actually remembered that one from way back in my earlier visits to MGM - they had a CM out there when the lines were long that would mention little trivia like that. ; Of course I was very familiar with the original Grummans/Mann's from living in LA - so it was cute comparing the original to the recreation.
according to jim korkis, charlton heston was in the middle of writing his name when someone called out to him. ; he looked up and waved and obviously lost his place when he went back to signing his name. ; why it was not quietly corrected is unknown.
