Apollo13AtHome When Marilyn Lovell loses her wedding ring in the shower, that was based on something that she recounted to me that had really terrified her at the time. One film critic who otherwise seemed to like the movie...

... called out the moment as false and overly sentimental. He even referred to it as Opie-Vision. I was, let’s say, chagrined, but Marilyn was furious. She wrote a letter telling the critic that it had all unfolded just as Kathleen had played it.

BTW, that critic has had a long and excellent career and he and I have had some great conversations over the years. No harm No foul!
