10 jane mansfield was a satanist the late jane mansfield was a major sex symbol in the 50s and 60s but most people do think of you as a sex symbol do you mind that no i think it's fun i take it i think it's very comfy she was a playboy playmate she allegedly dated robert and john kennedy and she was the first actress of the sound era to don her birthday suit for a film the movie was 1963's promises promises she was also allegedly a satanist and you meant it to be nasty mansfield visited the

church of satan in 1966 and she was named high priestess of san francisco's church of satan by its founder anton levay this was a media sensation throughout the late 60s and it led many to believe that mansfield was a practicing satanist levay's daughter carla later confirmed quote unquote that mansfield was a satanist and that she had dated her father number nine paul thomas anderson directed a prairie home companion 2006 saw the release of a musical comedy called a prairie home companion [Music] the film was directed by robert altman who is perhaps best known for directing

the mash movie in 1970. this was altman's final film as he passed away just five months after its domestic release unfortunately some people didn't believe that altman would finish the movie he was 80 years old and sick likely suffering from the leukemia that would eventually take his life to secure insurance paul thomas anderson was hired as a backup director just in case altman couldn't complete the filming the theory posits that it was anderson who actually directed the film not the ailing altman altman denied this shortly before his death number 8 nicholas cage is a vampire

nicholas cage was born in january 1964. or was he what back in 2011 an antique steeler named jack moord posted an old picture on ebay the picture shows a man from the 19th century who shares a striking resemblance to cage but it goes further than a mere resemblance mord claims that cage is a vampire who reinvents himself every half century or so in this lifespan the immortal vampire decided to become a popular actor cage's lack of aging is also presented as a clue to his supposed immortality this theory became so popular that david letterman confronted

cage about it on his talk show let's see that again because there are some similarities but it's slowed down yeah cage humorously denied the accusation but he did admit that he shared a resemblance to the older gentleman number seven tommy wiseau didn't direct the room i did not hit her it's not true it's [ __ ] i did not hit her i did not oh hi mark the name tommy wiseau is synonymous with bad movies the polandborn filmmaker maybe famously created the room having produced written and directed the film himself he also infamously starred as

its lead character johnny you are tearing me apart lisa however some people believe that the movie was actually directed by the script supervisor sandy schler schlair told entertainment weekly that it was actually he who directed the movie as wyzo was too busy acting the story was corroborated by an anonymous actor who worked on the film you guys are too much co-star greg cistero also corroborates the legend in the disaster artist claiming that schlair often took over filmmaking duties from wiseau wyzo has denied the allegations you'd be scrappy you're not good you you're just a chicken

chip chip chip cheep jeep number six bruce lee and the triads what do they want me to do bruce lee's death is famously shrouded in mystery and has generated a number of conspiracy theories lee seemed a paragon of health which made his premature death at just 32 highly suspicious the official cause of death is a cerebral edema that was possibly exacerbated by an allergic reaction to meprobamate the drug is found in ecuagisic which was given to lee to quell a headache on the night of his death it's so extremely rare that this kind of thing

happens what it's um what it's like is an allergy to say penicillin others aren't so sure one leading theory posits that lee was assassinated by the chinese triads he said uh he upset it because of his success in the film industry and taking the martial arts around the world that he upseted the triads their motives are numerous including business investments and lee refusing to pay protection money no one can agree on why the triad supposedly had lee killed but the unfounded theory has persisted nonetheless number five keanu reeves is immortal similar to the nicholas cage

conspiracy theory this one claims that keanu reeves is some type of immortal being who has transcended the centuries without aging some people believe that historical figures bear a striking physical resemblance to reeves including the french actor paul munet munez studied to become a doctor before pursuing acting and maybe he unearthed some kind of everlasting formula during his studies of course the biggest clue towards reeves immortality is his distinct lack of aging i'm sorry many people think that reeves has aged exceptionally even suspiciously well the john wick series certainly hasn't quelled the theory there's just no

way a man in his 50s can do what he does you uh working again no just sorting some stuff out oh well i'll let you be there good night john good night jimmy number four george lucas directed return of the jedi the original star wars trilogy is widely credited to creator george lucas what some people might not know is that he only directed the original movie the empire strikes back was directed by irvin kirschner and return of the jedi by richard marquand and i liked the apparent naivete and simplicity with which george had made star

wars i liked that style however there's a long-standing theory that lucas essentially ghost-directed the latter i know [Music] somehow i've always known lucas was reportedly on set quite often overseeing the inexperienced marquand and there are rumors that lucas personally shot some of the second unit work some people believe that lucas controlled marquand essentially directing the director you don't need to see his identification we don't need to see his identification these aren't the droids you're looking for these aren't the droids we're looking for others claim that the movie was made in post-production with lucas and his

then wife marsha molding the finished product in the editing room there goes nothing as it is lucas was only given screenplay and story credits number three marilyn monroe was killed if a popular entertainer dies young under mysterious circumstances you better believe that there are going to be conspiracy theories the lurid circumstances of maryland's death made national headlines across the world screen icon marilyn monroe died at just 36 on the night of august 4th 1962. the official cause of death was acute barbiturate poisoning and the general consensus is that monroe took her own life speculating that

on the last night of her life marilyn had wanted miley to sleep through her despair as she had done so many times before possibly under the heavy influence of drugs she simply lost track of the number of sleeping pills she had swallowed however no one really knows for sure cue the conspiracy theories some believe that monroe was killed and that her death was staged to look like an intentional decision or accidental overdose i was there at the time when she died they're pretty big player that normally wouldn't have been there give me bureau people yeah

are you aware how long afterwards they came on the scene norman mailer famously claimed in his book maryland a biography that monroe was killed by government agents owing to her alleged affair with robert f kennedy mailer and the theory in general were widely lambasted but i did find evidence the circumstances of her death had been deliberately covered up number two stanley kubrick filmed the moon landing you get two conspiracy theories and one with this entry as many as 20 of americans believe that the moon landings were faked with the supposed footage being filmed on a

hollywood sound stage and you hear about the fact that the landing was actually done in a television studio and it was the big black background like you know fake stars and stuff it's the flag being planted on the moon facing one way and the shadow of the man being the other way i mean i've heard that maybe the terrain that was seen on the video wasn't accurate and that footage was directed by none other than acclaimed filmmaker stanley kubrick no one really knows where this theory came from or why it even started in the first

place that's when you know you have a sound conspiracy on your hands the leading theory about the theory is that nasa contacted kubrick owing to his work on 2001 a space odyssey and asked him to help trick the world but what about the flags and footprints on the moon you ask don't worry about it before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you'll have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them if you're on your phone make sure you

some connection to the original bavarian illuminati or other secret societies some conspiracy theorists now believe that all major celebrities not to mention most people belonging to the upper class are part of the not so secret illuminati apparently there's this apparently there's this group i don't know called the illuminati behind the scenes governing everything running all the top businesses running all the top organizations and evidently this shadowy organization are communicating through susan boyle's ice bucket challenge they supposedly wish to start a new world order and are using their friends like film television and music to propagate

their convictions is hollywood really just a front for illuminati propaganda you tell us for years now talk show hosts people on television people in sitcoms have been hired by the government to throw you off the track to distract you to make you laugh and stuff like that make you happy and docile so you don't know what's really going on did you enjoy this video check out these other clips from watchmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos [Music] you
