However, based on another source, the movie's script, which will be divided into three parts, will also have an input from Steve Jobs' daughter Lisa. Writer Aaron Sorkin describes her as the "heroine of the movie" because he finds Job's relationships, especially with his daughter, interesting. Jobs did not recognize Lisa during her growing up years believing she was not his own.
