Is Rachel a Weisz?
The Independent reports that actress Rachel Weisz will be back in the UK next spring to film Death Defying Acts, a new film about Houdini. Weisz will play Houdini's mistress in the film.
The paper claims that Houdini "is a long-standing interest of Weisz's, partly motivated by the thought that he was a distant relative - he was born in Hungary as Ehrich Weisz."
Rachel Weisz related to Houdini? There is a bit of a resemblance.
Weisz is best known for her two blockbuster Mummy films, The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001), and can currently been seen in The Constant Gardener.

Buried Alive 8-sheet Sells for $14,950
A "Buried Alive" 8-sheet by Otis Litho fetched $14,950 in Heritage's 2005 Rare Movie Poster Auction auction on November 11.
This poster promotes an escape that Houdini was just beginning to perform during the last season of his full evening show, which ended abruptly with his death in October 1926. The casket used in the escape was used to carry his body back to New York from Detroit.
