During a scene in the filming of the movie "Last Summer" (1969), the characters were tossing an injured seagull into the air in an attempt to make it fly. After several takes, the seagull died. Barbara Hershey felt responsible for its death and claimed its spirit entered her body. She decided to change her name to Seagull in its honor. It was a decision she later regretted because it resulted in her reputation of being a hippie and deemed not a "bankable" actor. She changed her name back to Hershey and has gone on to be an A-List actress whose career has lasted nearly 50 years. She has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and continues to make films to this day.
