Most of us have an unreasonable fear or habit. Famous folks often seem to go one step further.
Diane von Furstenberg
Fashion designer and icon Diane von Furstenberg (1946 - ) tapes a gold 20 -franc coin in her shoe for good luck before every runway show. Her father hid the coin in his shoe during World War II and gave it to her when she was a girl.
Lucille Ball
On the day that three-year-old Lucille Ball’s father died, a bird flew into her home and became trapped. Traumatized(受精神创伤)by the events, she developed a lifelong feeling of intense dislike of birds. The actor (1911 - 1989) even refused to stay in hotels that had pictures of birds on the walls.

He lived long enough to write most of his tenth symphony, though he died before it was performed.
