Did You Know?
| Trivia | Dorothy actually met Twain by recognizing him on the steamship, then walking past the deckchair where he was sitting several times until Twain got up, walked to her and introduced herself. See more » |
| Goofs | Jean says that her mother died at Christmas time, but Olivia Langdon-Clemens passed away June 5, 1904. It was Jean herself who passed at Christmas, as seen in the movie. It was doubtful this caused her father to hate Christmas, as he died only 5 months later. See more » |

Jean Clemens:
Dorothy, I've tried my whole life to make my father happy, but I've never been as successful as you were this afternoon. See more » |
