John F. Nash, Jr.
Whose life was interpreted in the film "A Beautiful Mind." Nobel Prize, 1994.
 
A little-known fact about the film "A Beautiful Mind."
 
"The movie actually, at the end of it, it suggests that the person in the movie is still taking some medicine, and taking a modern type of a drug after he had tried not to take any, he'd struggled with the issue of taking. So there is a difference there. The director in the movie didn't want to suggest that people who are living in a state with controlled mental illness, that they should stop taking their medicine. It would be dangerous to suggest this.
 
"So it doesn't correspond to me accurately. There had been many years since I haven't had medicine, since 1970, that's 35 years, well more than 30 years."
