During Ben-Hur's iconic chariot race sequence, it is rumoured that one of the stuntmen driving a chariot was accidentally killed while filming the race and that the footage was left in the final version of the film against the wishes of the stuntman's widow.
The Truth: The only record of someone dying during the production of Ben-Hur in 1958 was one of the film's producers, Sam Zimbalist, who died of a heart attack at age 54 while on set.
