===Motss portrayal===
Hoffman's character, Stanley Motss, is said to have been based directly on famed producer [[Robert Evans]]. Similarities have been noted between the character and Evans's work habits, mannerisms, quirks, clothing style, hairstyle and large, square-framed eyeglasses. In fact, the real Evans is said to have joked, "I'm magnificent in this film".<ref name="Nwk">{{cite news|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1998/04/05/tiger-plays-it-cool-under-big-cat-pressure/|title=Tiger Plays It Cool Under Big-cat Pressure|date=April 5, 1998|work=Orlando Sentinel|access-date=April 5, 2013|archive-date=July 1, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701072745/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-04-05/news/9804040759_1_tiger-mcmillan-bodyguard|url-status=live}}</ref>
