5. Jayne Mansfield
A major Hollywood star of yesteryear, and late mother of Law and Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay, Jayne reached the zenith of her career in the 50’s. Seen in flicks like Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter, The Girl Can’t Help It, The Wayward Blues, and Too Hot to Handle among others, she became internationally famous. Also remembered as one of the first Playboy Playmates, she changed the industry when she was the first star to appear in the buff on the big screen. Killed in a car crash at the young age of thirty-four, we’ll never know if she could have recaptured her former fame.
Said to be an actual member of the Church of Satan, some have even gone so far as to say that she had a romantic relationship with the group’s founder Anton LaVey. The interesting part is that there seems to be little truth to the claims that still dog her legacy to this day. Tales of her supposed association with the Church surfaced after the star’s death and claimed that her success was ensured by worshiping Satan. It appears that the origin of the entire story began because the actress was convinced to take part in a publicity photoshoot by German photographer Walter Fischer. The resulting pics are used as proof of her dark history to this day but it seems that those claims are about as valid as thinking Amy Schumer slept with R2-D2 and C-3PO since there are photos that imply that.
4. Abraham Lincoln
If we have to tell you why Abe is famous then clearly you didn’t exactly ace your history class. The sixteenth President of the United States, he is credited with preserving the union after the Civil War, abolishing slavery and forever changing the world we know today. It’s pretty safe to say that he is one of the greatest if not the very best president of all time despite his life and presidency coming to an early end due to his assassination. Mary Todd Lincoln is mostly famous for being his wife and a former First Lady but she was an indomitable figure herself.
Turns out that the Lincolns, one of the best remembered and most respected couples ever, held a sรฉance in the White House, if a 1963 Boston Gazette story is to be believed. If the retelling of the story is, in fact, true, Abe seems to have taken the proceedings with a grain of salt while his wife and others present took the goings on far more seriously. After the president’s passing some stories point to his widow delving far deeper into attempts to communicate with her dead husband. Although many people today see these types of events as entirely mundane, there is still a rather large contingent who sees the act of communing with the dead as innately demonic.
