John Belushi 9% - "Saturday Night Live", "Animal House", "The Blues Brothers". Acording to a 1976 palm reading, "...it is interesting that the three main lines on Mr. Belushi's palms -- head, heart, and life -- are each cut very short."
James Dean 3% - "East of Eden", "Rebel Without A Cause","Giant". An unsubstantiated story is that parts from his Porsche Spyder kept on were used on other cars, and that the drivers of all those cars also died in firey crashes!

Humphrey Bogart 0% - Contrary to a popular legend, he was not the model for the Gerber Baby, nor was the Gerber Baby drawn by Bogart's mother. There was also once a story that he & Ed Sullivan were brothers. Last words, "I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis."
