This informative post will be posted on Saturday along with my usual writing. We can all appreciate some of the lesser known facts from around the world.
The term “paparazzi” comes from Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita.” In the film, Marcello Mastroianni writes a gossip column, and Walter Santesso plays his coworker, a tabloid photographer whose name is Paparazzo.
Albert Einstein’s facial characteristics inspired the look of three popular film characters: E.T. had Einstein’s eyes, Yoda had his forehead, and Emmett Brown in “Back to the Future” had his hair.
These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).
Very interesting facts! I will need to share them with my sons who are big fans of Yoda.

Jim, thanks for sharing. I am tweaking this Saturday post as the source for all of these weeks has run dry. Hopefully, it will still be well-received.
