Talk:Gig Young

Untitled

His second and third wives were actresses, but cannot confirm Kim Schmidt as a professional actress. Will replace this info with employment cited in Hollywood Babylon (art gallery employee). Please cite references as requested in every edit page so facts can be checked. -- 172.151.108.253 02:18, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) Zosodada 02:19, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) (forgot to sign in)

the term 'suicide pact' suggests that his wife was a willing participant. I have never seen this suggested anywhere. Can it be confirmed?

The Link to Martin Baum is not the right person!

What do you think?

about this guy's one and only edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gig_Young&diff=75414359&oldid=72758665 It really changes the whole ending of the story of Gig Young's suicid, doesn't it? --Vlad|-> 22:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

His suicide at The Osborne, 205 West 57 St. is correct. I was the v/p of the building at the time, and was sitting in my apt. across the courtyard from his apt. when I heard the shots. The super Gus came to me, and told me that a gocery order was about to be delivered at Gig's door, and at the knock these shots were heard. He asked what he should do, should he go in with his master key to see what was up. I said call the president of the building, Mike, who worked at Macy's. He did, and I spoke to him too, and he said do nothing until he gets home from work. Privacy issues. And so the door wasn't opened for several hours. I've often wondered if they were immediately dead, and could have been helped, but I don't know what the autopsy showed. The police found evidence of drugs and jewelry and gun paraphernalia, but it was all generally hushed up. JohnClarknew 20:13, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

My involvement with this is totally peripheral. Kim Schmidt may have had German parents but she went to school in Melbourne, Australia and she was, never an actor although she may have appeared in a film. In the late 1970s she lived in Hong Kong and we were on a friendly but not intimate basis. She was very much the sexy flirt and had an on-and-off relationship with Gig Young who, she told me, was teaching in an actor's school in New York. It was not smooth going and she was, at one time, practically living on tranquilizers. Her death (murder/suicide) three weeks after the marriage shook me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.209.170.2 (talk) 06:15, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Unclear

"His name has become a term for a new computer hard drive."? --Nemissimo II 20:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

North Carolina?

OK, why in the heck was he buried in Western North Carolina after his death? There is no mention to any ties to NC that I can find. Was some of his family from there or something? --Brownings (talk) 09:49, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
