In Markowitz’s script for Good Morning, Vietnam, a fictional version of Cronauer arrives in Saigon. At his first appearance, as he deplanes from a flight from Greece, he is described as “dazed,” with “a crazed, anesthesia-oriented smile, and wears mirrored sunglasses, sandals, a jacket with a name tag that reads, ‘Hiya,’ a scarf knitted by a grandmother, not necessarily his, Jamaican flour sack pants, a USAF hat, and a Greek peasant shirt stained with juices of many lands.”
