Thomas Jefferson: Difference between revisions

** Inspired by this, Tracy tries to self-finance a movie about Jefferson with him playing *all* the roles.

* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode ''Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington'', Lisa goes to the Lincoln Memorial for inspiration, but it's too crowded, so she goes to the Jefferson Memorial. Jefferson takes offense:

* An extremely negative portrayal of Jefferson as a hypocrite who trampled on the democratic principles he advocated appears in [[Gore Vidal]]'s ''Burr''. Since the book is from Burr's perspective, it also provides a very different portrayal of him than most Americans are familiar with.

* Sort-of example: The Jefferson Memorial is the site of Project Purity in ''[[Fallout]] 3''. {{spoiler|After activating it, the muddy, irradiated water clears to show his statue standing proudly.}}
