Yul Brynner, despite his bald head (or maybe because of it?), is a hugely popular actor. In 1956 alone Yul Brynner appears (and at least co-stars) in two of the most popular movies of that year: "The Ten Commandments" and "The King And I". And for that second title, "The King And I" he originates the role on Broadway, of the King of Siam, from 1951 to 1954.

Tommy Alsup survives plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper---by not getting on the plane. (He had a head cold and couldn't fly in the non-heated charter plane, so Valens took his place. Also, Waylon Jennings was also scheduled to ride the plane, but chose to ride the bus instead.)
