Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The actual 18½-minute gap remains unexplained; Nixon's secretary Rosemary Woods claimed she 'accidentally' erased it while stretching for a phone.
Willa Fitzgerald based Connie partly on real White House transcribers who were young women sworn to secrecy and then completely forgotten by history.
