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.
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.
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.
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.
In the paperback version of Forrest Gump there are 241 pages. The average page contains about 250 words*. If my math is correct Gump has 60,250 words in the entire book. *Depending on font size.
