    Having only 1 tree that had printed money grow on it would be interesting. Or better yet, golden apples encrusted with rare gems.

    Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, never took another film role and instead found a career as a vet. He did not speak publicly about the film for nearly twenty years, and for several years even his wife did not know about his role.

    At the premiere of the Good Omens TV series, a front row seat was left empty in tribute to Terry Pratchett. His trademark scarf and hat were placed on it, and there was a bag of popcorn- Neil Gaiman said that Terry wanted to sit next to him and eat popcorn if an Omens movie ever happened.
