While filming the movie, Teresa Wright, who played Gehrig's wife Eleanor Gehrig, wore the actual bracelet which Lou gave to Eleanor on their fourth anniversary. Eleanor brought the bracelet to the set to be used in the movie. The bracelet is comprised of seven World Championship emblems, six All-Star Game charms, two MVP Awards, the Sporting News MVP, and one representing the film Rawhide. On the back was one more token of Lou's love, an inscription, "To Eleanor, with all my love forever, Lou, Sept. 29, 1937." The bracelet is now displayed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
