Forrest Gump is not a real person. He was a fictional character in a movie of the same title, but he will always live on in the hearts and minds of many. Tom Hanks, the actor who won an Oscar for playing Forrest Gump, is still alive.
Forrest Gump was a movie about a man that encountered many historical events. When Forrest stopped running, it was announced that President Reagan was shot. This happened in 1980.
The city of Greenbow, in the county of Greenbow, as Forrest liked to say, was entirely fictional. Many of the scenes were filmed in Varnville, SC. But as with many movies, there are many different locations used. The character Forrest Gump was well-travelled so a diverse collection of locations were needed.
Very little. Forrest Gump the movie was based on a novel by Winston Broom, which is classified as fiction. The inspiration for the novel was a real man named Samuel Davis, Jr. I believe the real Forrest had a form of autism. He was also a war hero. Forrest Gump, the movie, did revolve around many true historic events in American life from the 1950's through the 1980's.
The original score for the movie "Forrest Gump" was written by Alan Silvestri. There are two main theme songs used throughout the movie - the gentle piano music used in the introductory and final scenes and the triumphant music used in some of the running scenes. The compilation of the main themes of the movie is called "Suite from Forrest Gump" and can be found on "Forrest Gump: Original Motion Picture Score - Music composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri". The piano intro is called "I'm Forrest…Forrest Gump" and the first use of the triumphant theme is called "Run Forrest Run" and was used when Forrest's braces broke apart when he was running.

The only one I can think of is Mrs. Gump. Bubba died in Viet Nam and Jenny died of AIDS which cannot be considered natural.
Launched in 1996, inspired by the film Forrest Gump.
Forrest Gump revolves around a simple, and simple-minded man and his many adventures from childhood to near middle age. The amazing thing about the character of Gump is his profound influence on those who know him best. Forrest seems to be the underdog but has a quiet strength in his honesty and loyalty.
