The movie that was just on about his life said it was because Col. Parker was here illegally, didn’t have a passport, and wouldn’t be able to return.

Most everyone probably knows this one.
Freddy Mercury of Queen had 4 extra teeth in his upper jaw. Resulting in his famous malocclusion.
He could have had this fixed, however he was certain that it would change his voice.

I can't imagine what it must have been like at age six when his adult teeth began coming in. Poor little boy! And he was so self-conscious as a child. His autopsy showed no evidence that his teeth could have influenced his voice, but what do they know? Nothing.
Origin of M & M's
Forrest Mars (son of the Mars Company founder) first spotted the British confection Smarties during the Spanish Civil War and noticed the candy shell prevented the chocolate from melting. He teamed up with Bruce Murrie (son of Hershey Chocolate's president) and the company later trademarked the "Melts in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hand" slogan.

Shirley Temple was the first choice for Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", but she was committed to filming another movie and Judy Garland was selected.
Amazing
