In March 1983, the United States Department of State released a press statement for embassies and consulates in Muslim countries that attempted to dispel the myth noting that Armstrong had not moved to the country of <a href="http://schools-wikipedia.org/wp/l/Lebanon.htm" target="_blank">Lebanon</a>, nor converted to Islam.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In 1991, Armstrong was inducted into the Aerospace Walk of Honour.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Armstrong was played by Mark Wheeler in the 1995 film Apollo 13, by Jeffrey Nordling in the 1996 TV movie Apollo 11, and by Tony Goldwyn in the 1998 miniseries From the Earth to the Moon.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">His authorized biography was published in 2005, written by James R. Hansen, a professor of history at Auburn University in Alabama. The process began in October 1999, when Hansen had first written to Armstrong asking if he could write the book. At first Armstrong told him that he was too busy and had already turned down several previous offers, from authors such as Stephen Ambrose and James A. Michener. Hansen persisted, sending what he described as a "goody box" of his books, including a biography called From the Ground Up, about aircraft designer Fred Weick. Armstrong was impressed with the style of the book and in June 2002, Armstrong and Hansen signed a formal agreement. Two months later, Armstrong signed a letter for Hansen that said Hansen had his full support and encouraged others to provide what he needed to write the book.</li> </ul></blockquote>
