What do some fans of ballerina Marie Taglioni, director Werner Herzog, and CNN's Tucker Carlson have specifically in common with Charlie Chaplin in one of his films?

They all eat shoes. Marie Taglioni Russian fans loved her so much they were reported to cook her discarded slippers and eat them with a sauce. http://www.chase-dance.com/Class/PointeInfo.htm Herzog once promised to eat his shoe if a young American film student went out and actually made the film he was always only talking about. The young student was Errol Morris, who met the challenge with his off-beat 1978 pet cemetery documentary Gates of Heaven (and went on to make The Thin Blue Line and Fast, Cheap and Out of Control.) Herzog makes good on his promise in the film "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe", directed by Les Blank. http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001348/bio Tucker Carlson said he would eat his shoe if Mrs Clinton's book exceded 1 million copies. http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/07/09/tucker.shoe/ Charlie Chaplin in one of his films has to eat his shoe in order to survive extreme cold. http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/04/14/stories/1314110a.htm Jan 28 05, 6:21 AM
