* LostInCharacter: There's a popular legend that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9e_Jeanne_Falconetti Renee Jeanne "Maria" Falconetti]] had a nervous breakdown after completing filming and ended up in an insane asylum, convinced she really was Joan of Arc. In truth she suffered from mental problems over most of her life (to the point that she eventually killed herself in 1946), and she simply preferred stage acting rather than films.
