Yes there are often scenarios where the two intersect at times. Perhaps the early 60's film " Stolen Hours" in which Susan plays a woman with a brain tumour that was either inoperable ( or failed to to respond to an operation) is another example.
I guess many cases abound, but unfortunately all those I can recall tend to be dark and tragic examples.Whether anyone has ever played, say a disabled athlete who wins a trophy, then goes on in real life to do so or similar, I can't recall.
I remember reading soon after the success of "Rosemary's Baby" that Polanski had said that he was a bemused sceptic who did not believe that contemporary Satanism could exist outside the pages of a screenplay or a book.
In less than a year from that comment, Sharon Tate and the household had been murdered by deluded killers obeying the command of someone who labelled himself as the Antichrist.
I recall the film "Poltergeist" and the little girl who starred in it died not too long afterwards. I can't remember her name or the cause. Also, the teenage girl who starred in it ( Dominique Dunne..sp?)
Her father is Dominick Dunne, the writer--not sure I'm spelling their first names correctly) was murdered by her boyfriend. Her father attended the tril and I believe that he wrote a book about it or at least I know that he comments a lot about the murder on talk shows.. i.e. Larry King, and Court TV. It seems bad luck follows some of the so-called Satanic like films...I believe there were some weird happens on the set of "The Exorcist" if I recall correctly.
