The Uncomfortable Story of Will Rogers

I am watching THE STORY OF WILL ROGERS on TCM right now. Will Rogers is being played by his real-life son Will Rogers, Jr. Right now he is courting Jane Wyman, who I assume is playing his future mother. That's weird, right? Will Rogers, Jr., having to pretend to fall in love with his own mother? I can't be the only person who has thought of this. But I might be the only person who remembers who Will Rogers was.
