Robert Maxwell looks like Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood.

Edit: semi-humorous quote from a DailyMail article about Maxwell.

...Ken Lennox who, in November 1991, had accompanied Maxwell’s widow Betty as she flew out to identify the plutocrat’s 22 stone body, rescued from the waters offshore the Canary Islands, and then flying with her to its final resting place.

A passage of the blackest comedy ensues, as the extra-large coffin proves almost impossible to squeeze into a specially-adapted private jet. Eventually the task is done, but only by wedging the coffin at a 45 degree angle.
