Corrected entry: Some odd (if not very disturbing) coincidences surrounding the movie, released in 1971. Lana Wood plays Plenty O'Toole and dies by drowning in the movie. The person who was supposed to be drowned in the movie was Tiffany Case, played by Jill St. John. In real life Lana Wood's older sister Natalie Wood died by drowning (November 1981). At the time Natalie was married to actor Robert Wagner. Ten years later (1991) Robert Wagner remarried, to Jill St. John. Interesting side note - Natalie had a dire fear of drowning, Lana was a certified diver.

Correction: Coincidences happen all the time, it's just a fact of life that sometimes things coincide; simple probability dictates that this happens, and even apparently extreme coincidences are purely just something that happens. As a result, coincidences are not really terribly remarkable. And they're most certainly not considered valid trivia.
