Most inaccurate biography ever?

A very late reply but the nominees for most inaccurate biographical movie are:

Yankee Doodle Dandy: Supposedly after seeing it George M. Cohan said "Good movie. Who was it about?"

Genghis Khan
Frontier Marshal
Santa Fe Trail
They Died with Their Boots On
Night and Day
Birdman of Alcatraz

But I certainly would include this one too.

The Buster Keaton Story

The greater challenge might be to name accurate Hollywood bio pics.

Well one thing this film AND the Paul Michael Glaser one leave out is the fact
they had a son who also became part of the act
As I understand it Bess & Mom didn't get along all that well I recall the PMG 1 had more of that.

This film leaves out the friendship with Doyle

"The Jolson Story" with Larry Parks. It's a very entertaining movie, but in real life Jolson's mother dies when he is a young boy. Yet she is shown alive & well throughout the movie. Also, there was no "Steve Martin" in real life, but the great William Demerest portrays this man throughout the movie, as a major part of Jolson's discovery, career, and later life.

“ If so please name it.“

Just about all films about Jesus Christ or Moses.

I don't know of any. Not a bad flick, but totally inaccurate!

Most movie biographies are inaccurate. The thing to do, which oddly enough some people can't seem to manage, is to relax and enjoy them as entertainment, then if they stimulate interest in the subject, find a book on that person and learn the real story.

Here's my entry for an inaccurate biography: "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean". It's a hell of an entertaining film, but other than the fact that there was a guy named Roy Bean who lived in Texas in the late 19th century, it's all fiction.
