It was the misspelled name of the son's daycare.

Yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Gardner covers his biography, which closely resembles the story of this movie.

Gardner makes a cameo appearance at the very end of the movie, passing his movie counterpart in the street as Chris tells knock-knock jokes.

Here's a few:

The Dean Witter internship wasn't unsalaried, but had a $1,000/mo. stipend.

The internship lasted 10 months, not 6.

Chris Jr. was 18 months old, not preschool aged, when his mother left him with his father.

They were not rejected from a women's shelter; Glide Memorial, where they stayed in the movie and in real life, was a single mothers' shelter at the time.

He did not have to work short hours; in fact he started early and stayed late.

He was a bone scanner salesman, but not self-invested; he quit the job before taking the internship.

Gardner added it himself, in honor of succesful broker Marc Rich, who was not involved in Gardner's company.
