3 unusual facts about Jackson Bentley


Jackson Bentley

(His being based in Chicago, and his name being Jackson, Thomas's middle name, are other give-aways.)

Robert Bolt's revision focused on Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom as its primary source; Thomas's character was scaled down, and his name changed.

Bentley does not appear in the story proper until the beginning of Act II, when he arrives at Arab- and British-occupied Aqaba to interview Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), writing for the Chicago Courier.
