The "real" Soloist - Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, Jr. attended the premiere of The Soloist in L.A. April 20, 2009. His friendship with L.A. Times reporter Steve Lopez inspired the new film. Family, friends and board members of the Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Foundation for the Artistically Gifted Mentally Ill wore fatigues to support him, and to show they're ready to fight the stigma against mental illness. The foundation, started by his sister Jennifer Ayers-Moore, is online at www.naayers.org. The film stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx.
