  • For the longest time I thought Glenn Holland in Mr. Holland's Opus was a real person.  I found out the character was fictional and thought he must at least be based off someone that is real.  No on both accounts. It's always possible he was inspired by a real teacher but the creators of the movie have never outright confirmed this.  I've seen schools that have scholarships and charity foundations named after this fictional character.
