I'm trying to remember which actor died (relatively) recently and someone immediately jumped on his wikipedia entry and changed it, the changes got picked up by lazy journalists everywhere and ran around teh world as fact.
It was NOT Maurice Jarre and he's the only damn thing that pops up in google so I'm hoping someone can remember.
I seem to recall the change was that he was at one tome the first choice to play some iconic role but turned it down.
