Ed Wood: Fact or Fiction?

[RyoHazuki]

Well I was suprised by the lack of threads about Tim Burton's Ed Wood so I decided to start one. How authentic is the movie? Did he ever meet Orson Welles? Did Lugosi really hate Karloff?

[Rivero]

Did Ed ever meet Orson? Yes. Did Lugosi ever hate Karloff? Yes, read his book. Was Wood really a transvestite? Yes.

[The Nature Boy]

How do you know Ed met Orson? I had always assumed that part was fabricated.

[FaustBos]

I*ve read also that the meeting was creative license. Fabulous movie. Martin Landau was brilliant.

[Scot1458]

Lugosi was a tenth of the man Karloff was.

Ed Wood: Fact or Fiction?

Umm, faction?

[renaldow]

The movie isn't a biography, it's bits and pieces of his life scrambled around and edited to create an entertaining movie. There's a lot of 'true' things in the movie, but don't take the movie as canon law.
