The movie also brought into question whether P.T. Barnum and Jenny Lind had some relationship during the tour, even though he was married. The movie did not take this very far, but its suggestion is there. In real life, according to a story in Vanity Fair, there was no relationship between the two. Lind was not as glamorous as portrayed in the movie. The real Jenny Lind wore white, did not wear a tight corset, and tied up her “mousy brown hair” in a simple hairstyle. She was known to be quite plain-looking (though looks certainly are not everything).
Stories have it that, there was no initimate relationship between these two. P.T Barnum rejected her advances. I need to see this movie though.
