"You Are My Sunshine" was written by Jimmie Davis as a tribute to his horse Sunshine. https://www.225batonrouge.com/our-city/arts-entertainment/my-only-sunshine Or so the story goes, there are skeptics.

Davis later became governor of Louisiana and is famous for riding Sunshine into his office in the state capital building. He also built a very expensive bridge across the Mississippi River to have something grand to name for the horse.

"At the age of 17, Steven Spielberg directed a sci-fi film called "Firelight". The budget was $500, and it was shown at a local cinema, with 500 people coming, and tickets costing a dollar each. However, one person paid $2, so the movie made $1, making it Spielberg's first commercial success".
