Bet You Didn't Know
Actors often complain about living out of hotels, but Carey Mulligan is used to it. As a child, her father was a manager for Intercontinental Hotels, and she grew up living in some of the finest hotels in Europe. But that didn't make her a hotel snob. While she was shooting the movie "Drive," she stayed at a downscale $110-a-night Best Western in Hollywood.
