The Dead Boy

A rumor went around that a boy killed himself during filming and his ghost is seen in the movie. But the dead boy was actually a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson's character. Other versions of the rumor are:

• That the boy was the grandson of the rumoured "hanging man" in The Wizard of Oz.
• The boy had been killed in the "apartment" where the movie was filmed. In reality, it was filmed on a sound stage.

This rumor is an example of an Urban legend.
