Lovell's book was used as a basis for the movie Apollo 13, in which Lovell was portrayed by Tom Hanks, although the physical resemblance is slight. (Lovell had personally wanted Kevin Costner, who resembled him more, to portray him.) Lovell had a cameo appearance at the end of the movie as the captain of the recovery ship USS Iwo Jima. (Lovell wore his actual US Navy uniform for filming. He was actually offered to play an admiral in the film, but he told producers "I retired as a captain; a captain I will be.") In the 1998 HBO series From the Earth to the Moon, Lovell was portrayed by Tim Daly. At right, Jim Lovell and Kevin Costner. |
