Incidentally, the next time you re-watch Apollo 13, in the scene at the end where the astronauts are picked up after splashdown and flown by helicopter to the USS Iwo Jima—the ship's captain greeting the astronauts is played by Actual Jim Lovell.
And Actual Marilyn Lovell is "Onlooker at Launch Site."
