A little bit of trivia for you. Right before the Dr. Strangelove came out,
JFK was assassinated. The original script had Slim Pickens saying, "shoot,
a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff."

Very cool. I hadn't heard that one before.

I'll try to bring something to the table. Talk-radio/movie-reviewer
Michael Medved claims that it the "Dr. Strangelove" character was not a
caricature based on Dr. Edward Teller...but on Henry Kissinger because he'd
written some nuclear deterence papers a bit before the movie had been made.

Myself....I'm stickin' with Dr. Teller as the real-life Dr. Strangelove!

As for David Crosby...two-time inductee of The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame,
biological father of his own kids and some lesbian's kids, survivor of a liver transplant
and the 1960-1970s, and runnin' around with some weed, a .45 Colt and a blade...
like some old commercial said:
"Some People Just Know How To Live!"

General Turgidson is based on General Curtis LeMay ('Bombs Away' LeMay).

There's a whole bunch of Dr.Strangelove trivia here. One of my top 10 favorite movies.
