However, this is the year of the 50th Anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA, so it is very timely that you posted that! (Nature, April 25, 1953)
(oh, and to add to your trivia, Rosalind Franklin was not very well portrayed in the movie "The Race for the Double Helix" either. The movie got its title from the "race" between Franklin and Watson/Crick to find the structure and have it published.)
