> [@astorian](#): > > Name 5 real people whose biographies were made into movies that won the Oscar as Best Picture. So not any biopic but ones where the biography was written before the movie? That’s a tough one. The ones where I’m sure the book came first are John Nash (A Beautiful Mind) Lt. William Bligh (The Mutiny on the Bounty) Pu Yi (The Last Emperor) [Does it count since it is a cowritten AUTObiography?] Maria von Trapp (The Sound of Music) [again an autobiography] Karen Blixin (Out of Africa) [yet another autobiography] List 5 moons of Neptune. ---

> [@astorian](#): > > I’d have settled for almost any Best Picture that was based on the life of a real person (_ **Man For All Seasons, Patton, Braveheart** _, et al.), but yours all work. But biography by definition means a written work. (“graphy” comes from a French word derived from a Latin word which in turn was derived from the ancient Greek word meaning to write) Biopic was probably the term you intended. ---
