that's another part of it. hints: Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:
All have been characters in movies not about them? That's at least 5/6 true. Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:
Movies based on historical events in which they were a part of? That is at least 2/3 but true (but in no way 100 percent true), depending on interpretations. Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:
Wild Bill Hickok in Little Big Man
John Jacob Astor in Titanic
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in Moulin Rouge You have named exactly 2/3 of the proper film titles.

I was thinking of real people used as film characters in at least two substantially different movies of the same name: Calamity Jane, Titanic and Moulin Rouge.
Doris Day's Calamity Jane was pure fictionalization, while Jane Alexander's tried to follow Jane's later life (Wild Bill was a character in both). There are at least three Titanics with JJ Astor; the 97 one, which aside from its main characters was the most realistic (esp. in its handling of real characters); the 1950s one was anachronistic and completely fictional (save for the inclusion of the few real-people names like Astor) and the 1943 German version was more about anti-Brit/US capitalism (Astor was handled in a similar role to Billy Zane's character from 97). And of all the various Moulin Rouges, Toulouse was the main charater in the '52 biopic by John Huston, but a supporting character in the recent fiction.

So many places like that.
Hint: it relates to sports. One sport in particular.

That is correct, Matthew. The first two in the CFL, the last in various indoor football leagues (the team's name has changed since).

Well, I haven't seen The Abyss, but... movies in which a subplot features a husband reconciling with his ex-wife?
