“A Beautiful Mind” Left Out One of Nash’s Relationships
The 2001 film “A Beautiful Mind” was about John Nash struggling with mental illness and falling in love, but it didn’t mention that he may have been a closeted gay man. Despite his wife denying the gay allegations, the film was also criticized for leaving out Nash’s relationship with nurse Eleanor Stier, whom he fathered a son with. This relationship may have been left out of the film because of the negative fact that Nash left Stier when he learned that she was pregnant.
