Snow White
The person Snow White was based on didn’t quite get the same happy ending as the Disney character did. The fairy tale is said to be based on a 16th-century noblewoman, Margarete von Waldeck. She lived in Bad Wildungen in Bavaria. There was apparently a mine that used child labor at the time. Since the conditions there were so harsh, the child workers became disfigured and were called “dwarfs” as insults. Margarete was sent to Spain, where she fell for a prince. However, his family didn’t approve of her, and so, she was poisoned.

James Bond
The legendary Agent 007 was created based on a real-life secret agent. Ian Fleming most likely based his fictional spy on British agent, Forest Yeo-Thomas. Forest was known for his death-defying escapes, incredible endurance, and heroic acts. The man was also popular with the ladies. In fact, Daniel Craig’s most harrowing scenes in Casino Royale are said to be based on Forest’s capture by the Gestapo.
