For most actors in Hollywood, it's hard enough landing a single movie role. But for others, sometimes one just isn't enough. From Tom Hardy to Leonardo DiCaprio, here are 20 well-known stars who have pulled double duty by playing two parts in the same film.

There are many icons in Hollywood, but only one of them is named Alfred Hitchcock. Over the course of a more than 60-year career, the legendary director of such classics as Rear Window, Vertigo and, of course, Psycho, amassed a body of work that remains unequaled in both its mastery and abundance. It's no secret Hitchcock had a thing for blondes, too, seeing as just about every one of his movies starred a golden-haired beauty. So, since Halloween is almost here, let's revisit a few of the director's muses in this week's Throwback Thursday Spotlight.

Who doesn't enjoy watching a young, happy couple falling in love on screen? On the flipside, how many times have you seen a film about two lovers growing apart and thought to yourself, "I've been there." It goes without saying that movies have an uncanny way of extracting our deepest emotions, whether they be happy, or (gasp) sad. And when it comes to tearjerkers, like last year's La La Land, or the Barbra Streisand classic, The Way We Were, Hollywood really knows how to get the tear ducts flowing. That said, since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, let's flip the happiest day on the calendar on its head by taking a look at 16 of the film world's best modern tearjerkers. Better get those Kleenex ready!

Driving in any big city is a pain. But in San Francisco, two of the streets are so crooked that they will literally leave you nauseated. Of course, locals know those two streets well: Lombard Street, in the Russian Hill neighborhood, and Vermont Street, located in Potrero Hill. Just take a look at these streets via photograph and try not to get dizzy. They literally zig and zag, while making sharp turns on a dime. There’s some debate as to which of the two holds the title for “most crooked” (Vermont Street, technically, is the winner) but this is one of the rare cases where practical minded folks can say that they both own the honor.

From towering skyscrapers to the ancient Colosseum, the world is filled with architectural marvels. And since architecture is best enjoyed in person, here are 10 cities that architecture lovers simply must visit.
