We watched 'A Beautiful Mind' on Sunday and I'm doing a little poking around to see how much Nash's story was Hollywoodized. The movie doesn't mention:
- his seeking refugee status in Europe in 1959
- his divorce from Alicia; and her subsequent taking him in as a boarder a decade after the divorce
- despite the speech given in the movie, Nash gave no speech at the Nobel Prize ceremony
- the giving of the pens was a script writers invention, not a Princeton math department tradition
