Yes, it is the screenwriter's and director's bias at play here, but this is not news to me, for that is the way of the motion picture industry. It is not the first time history was changed, nor will it be the last.

The story is "based" on the life of Mr. Allen, which was "inspired" by an article in The Post.

All of this means that Mr. Allen lived and was a butler in the White House...all the rest is literary license and trying to reach a certain demographic.

And I agree...Oprah's antics only serve to destroy a desire to see the movie.
