The original character (from the short stories) was fictitious, but Juli Crockett also had a brief boxing career and became one of the influences for the character in the movie. Here's a brief article about her:\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/050214/14crockett.peo.htm

The show in the movie was called "Lease".  It is a parody of the real-life musical "Rent".

Sounds like "The Entity".  Had Barbara Hershey playing the lead character and Ron Silver played the psychiatrist.  It was based on a true story.  Here is a link with a picture and description of the movie.\n\nhttp://www.vh1.com/movies/movie/10687/moviemain.jhtml

Real life is always stranger than fiction. Jim Morrison was too huge a personality to try to capture in a 2 hour film.

Sorry, it was just made up for the movie.. Willy Wonka and his Chocolate factory are only real in the movies.

If you mean Wayans' brothers, the movie is Little Man. Its about criminal/little person who mistakenly poses as a baby in the middle of some sort of robbery. Its from the producers of White Chicks, so it will probably be hilarious!!

Yes, loosely...it was based on the story of Dr. Sheppard...I don't have much more information than that.  Wish I could be of more help.

There were two movies.  The one in 1983 was based on another movie called Scarface made in 1932 starring Paul Muni and Ann Dvorak.\n\nThe '83 version with Al Pacino was a FAR superior movie, and compared to it, the '32 version should simply be ignored.\n\nHere's the first line of the plot summart on imdb.com\n\n"Remake of the 1932 film, which follows the rise of Tony Montana, a Cuban emigre who, with his friend Manny Ray, builds a strong criminal empire in early 1980's Miami."
