4. Pat Conroy's abusive character Lt. Col. "BULL" MEECHAM in his novel "The Great Santini" was based on his own fighter-pilot father, but the author said his real father was even worse. His father so hated his depiction that he changed his ways after the novel came out.
5. Dr. HEATHCLIFFE HUXTABLE, better known as Cliff, was one of the most popular TV dads ever and played by the hilarious Bill Cosby. One tip he gave was, "Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell, the name will carry." And remember this fatherly threat, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out...And make another one just like you."
6. Some oft-quoted movie lines were never spoken. "Luke, I am your father," supposedly said by DARTH VADER in "The Empire Strikes Back," was actually, "No, I am your father."
7.. Laurence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding, Jr. played father and son in 1991's "Boyz N the Hood" even though they were just six and a half years apart.
