Peter Sellers

Peter Sellers might be a public figure that was before your time but, he definitely has one of the craziest stories on this particular list. Sellers was known as a triple threat, he was a comedian, actor, and singer that starred on BBC radio comedy series, The Goon Show. Sellers was able to display his versatility in films like Casino Royale, The Party, What's New Pussycat?, and five of the Pink Panther films throughout the '60s and '70s.

In 1964, Sellers suffered from a total of eight heart attacks following a night of taking amyl nitrate, all of which he miraculously survived. Later in 1977, Peter Sellers suffered another heart attack and survived once again. But at the tender age of just 55-years-old, Sellers passed away in 1980 from his final heart attack. He might not be alive today but who do you know has survived almost ten heart attacks?
