Any Resemblance to Actual Persons: The Real People Behind 400+ Fictional Movie Characters - Page 6

From Hal Erickson's book of the same title, these are fictional films with characters based on real people (but with different names).
I put the Charlie Chan movies at the end, except for the ones he mentions by name. (Charlie Chan was inspired by a Hawaiian detective named Chang Apana.)
I'm disappointed that so few people have used this list. It took me forever to make, and I'm proud of it. I guess I didn't need to include ALL the Charlie Chan movies. That was overkill. But it's still a complete and accurate list of movies discussed in the book! And it's a great book. So please, use it. Share it. And check out the book if you get the chance!
