Expert: Test Pattern Guy Date: 7/7/2006 Subject: The Millionaire
Question Was the 50's to 60's TV show 'The Millionaire' true (like the real life guy from NYC that owns almost all duty free shops and give away his fortune every few years), lossley based on the truth or was it made up?
please advise
thanks
Answer Hi, Sterling...
"The Millionaire" was strictly a ficitonal work, made up for television... no basis in truth whatsoever... although it is thought that the show has inspired some people, like the guy you mention, to just hand out money to help others sometimes...
