My choice is Helen Eileen Beardsley http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0063983/bio8. She had 8 kids from her 1st husband and after he died, she married a man with 10 kids from a former marriage. They had 18 kids all under one roof! The story was later made into the 1968 movie Yours, Mine and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda.

The Tudors its a tv series but it was a really interesting Biography about Henry VIII and his 6 wifes, I think they covered very well the times of each one of his queens.

I know half of the film is innacurate but Geoffrey gave a very interesting portrayal of the Marquis DeSade and gave us some clues about the personality of the real Marquis.
If someone is going to make a film about a real person is much better when the director focuses on a specific time of that character.
I think Ed Wood with Johnny Depp was a very interesting movie. Can't say it was great but I'm glad I watched it.
shareIn "Lust for Life" (1954), Kirk Douglas portrays painter Vincent van Gogh in a very intense way, he must have been so well prepared for the role that he almost seemed to have become van Gogh himself; and Anthony Quinn as van Gogh's sarcastic, temperamental friend and colleague Paul Gauguin also fits his role to a T.
