Gay?

I read recently that he was gay. This doesn't seem to sit comfortably with his 6 (!) marriages. Is there a citation about this aspect of his life? JackofOz 03:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I’ve never heard that, and like you said that doesn’t really make much sense considering he was married so many times, if anything that would make him bisexual not gay, but I’ve never heard anything like that it’s probably just an unsubstantiated rumour… —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.116.180.169 (talk) 19:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Role in "The Greatest Story Ever Told"

The Career section of the article says that he played "King Herod", with a link to Herod Antipas. However, the Filmography section says he played "Herod the Great", Antipas' father. Unless he played both parts, one of these needs correcting. EALacey 21:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

There are 2 dates in the article for his death, 1964 and 1967, I don't know which one is the right one, and I'm not good at editting these things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.177.0.191 (talk) 02:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Popular Culture

I restored the paragraph on popular culture, deleted by Treybien on 25th October 2007. It is of note here, that his name lives on in the culture of a younger generation than those who will rememeber his work. Trenwith (talk) 19:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Other Appearances

An excellent addition to this page, in addition to the filmography, would be Theatre (Plays) and Television appearances. I will start with one - a television appearance: He was the lead character, a cunning thief, in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode titled, "The Diamond Necklace" Relguk (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Missing movie

Didn't Claude Rains play the part of a professor in a remake of "The Lost World"?AT Kunene (talk) 12:51, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

? It's listed in the filmography: 1960's The Lost World. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:28, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
