You **either** write a biography, as accurate as you can, as respectfully as you can, **or** you write a clearly fictional story that is as different from its inspiration as you can make it. Do not try to do this half way. That way lies pain and law suits. From your question, it seemed that you want to write fiction. Then do just that. The best way is to get inspiration from multiple sources and mix them up. If that is not an option, you should at least change anything that can be changed without losing the point you want to make.
