吉姆·洛威尔 in Fiction
洛威尔的 book was used as a basis for the 电影阿波罗13号, in which Lovell was portrayed by Tom Hanks, although the physical resemblance is slight. (Lovell had personally wanted Kevin Costner, who resembled him more, to portray him.) Lovell had a cameo appearance at the end of the movie as the captain of the recovery ship USS Iwo Jima. In the HBO series 从地球到月球, 洛威尔 was portrayed by Tim Daly. In the 2002 novel Ice,吉姆·洛威尔 and his wife both appear in a fictional memorial scene commemorating what everyone assumes is the deaths of two Apollo astronauts on the Moon after their LM ascent engine fails to fire. Captain and Mrs. Lovell are described as providing comfort to the bereaved wives and children of the two missing-and-presumed-dead astronauts--something they hadn't had to do since the Apollo 1 fire.
Legal dispute
In the July 21, 1996 issue of San José Metro News, Lovell was quoted as saying the following of Moon landing hoax believer Bill Kaysing: "The guy is wacky. His position makes me feel angry. We spent a lot of time getting ready to go to the moon. We spent a lot of money, we took great risks, and it's something everybody in the country ought to be proud of."
Kaysing sued Lovell for libel. In 1997 a judge threw the case out of court (Plait 2002:173).
