A verdadeira atriz que inspirou a personagem Elise McKenna de "Somewhere in Time" foi Maude Adams, uma LGBTI com história belíssima de amor na vida real.

Segundo este vídeo, Maude Adams viveu com seu grande amor, Louise Boynton, de 1905 a 1951 e foram enterradas lado a lado...
Maude também foi a primeira a interpretar Peter Pan na Broadway, de 1988 a 1918.

Maude Adams
1872-1953
"Maude was a famous American Broadway stage actress from 1888 until 1918 most noted for first performing the role there of Peter in "Peter Pan".

She was reportedly the inspiration behind the character of Elise McKenna in Richard Matheson's 1975 novel "Bid Time Return" and it's 1980 film adaptation of the beautiful and imaginative love story, "Somewhere in Time", in which the character was played by Jane Seymour. How ironic that this great straight romance was inspired by a, from every indication, lesbian, where she is, as is routinely the case, magically 'transformed' into an 'acceptable' man-loving female to fit culture's demand for heterosexual only icons.

I would love a lesbian film maker such as Nicole Conn to do a version of 'SIT' based upon this woman's real life. Now, that would be TRUE ROMANCE!" (End of the text)
