* ScienceImitatesArt: Petit-Prince, the first asteroid moon to have been discovered with a ground-based telescope, was named as a dual reference to Louis-Napoléon, Prince Imperial, and as an allusion to the book. In the words of its discoverers:
-->''Both princes were young and adventurous, and had little fear of danger. Both were of rather small stature. They both left the confines of their cozy little worlds (asteroid B612 for the Little Prince and Chislehurst for the Prince Imperial). They both then undertook long journeys to end up in Africa, whereupon they both meet rather violent deaths ... And in both cases they lay alone for one night each after "death" and then "returned" back home...''

He ended up being able to convince Stanley Donen to film all of his scenes at the very end of the production instead of at the beginning, allowing him to appear in both this and Blazing Saddles.
