Allegra Coleman
Actress and supermodel Allegra Coleman was featured on a 1996 cover of Esquire magazine that called her “Hollywood’s next dream girl.” Agents were quick to try to book her for jobs, but they ran into the same issue: she did not actually exist. It was actually a hoax by the article’s author Martha Sherrill. The woman on the cover was Ali Larter, who actually ended up booking many jobs following the stunt.

Aimi Eguchi
Many fans of Japanese J-pop group AKB48 were happy to find out that there would be a new member name Aimi Eguchi joining the group. They were then shocked to find out that she was not an actual person but just a computer simulated amalgamation of all of the group’s real members “best” features.
