For example, I feel that the story of the Montgolfier Brother's and Jacques Charles would not make a bad one, although their story is very rarely told.

I just did the world premiere staged reading of my musical, which is based on a true story. It's about a game show scandal in the '80s; there was a documentary about it and everything. You can see it on YouTube here, and you can learn more about my musical here!

The lady, the dolphin and Jeff Bridges. It probably can't be done until Bridges dies, for obvious reasons when you read up on it.

^^^^ Is your post aimed at the OP, Darquegk? Because DoowahDiddy's "scandal" doesn't seem to have anything to do with dolphins or Bridges brothers.
(It also isn't about a scandal; just a contestant who studied really hard and figured out the patterns of a game board. A traditional, American get-rich-quick narrative. No cheating involved: who doesn't practice for a game show if they can? I knew one guy who took a year off from work to study for JEOPARDY. To be clear, DOOWAH, I'm not saying you can't make a good show with that material; but I hope you won't dramatize the entire game.)
