Year of birth[edit]

Born 1905 not 1906 as per ~~born 1905, not 1906 per~~ his own gravestone/niche and the Social Security Death Index. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 21:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion?[edit]

Okay, so where's the discussion of what, specifically, makes this article potentially POV? Or was this just a "drive-by" tagging? 75.225.83.38 (talk) 00:18, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If the people who spend all their spare time putting all those tags on pages spent only half of it looking for some references themselves it would make Wikipedia look a lot less ugly... Maarten1963 (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Marriages?[edit]

Is it me or is there something odd about a detailed Personal Life section which ignores two whole wives? 31.124.106.55 (talk) 03:08, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph with bad caption[edit]

The photograph of Preminger with five cast members has a garbled caption. The last person on the right is Rosy Barsony. The men's features are sufficiently similar that I can't put them in proper order. J S Ayer (talk) 15:24, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After further study of the photographs I have rewritten the caption. Anyone with better information, feel free to help. J S Ayer (talk) 15:02, 26 July 2022 (UTC

I can't pinpoint where I read it, so I'm mentioning it here. One actor was supposed to have responded to Preminger's abuse by breaking a glass beer mug over his head to the tune of several stitches.

Alzheimer's Diagnosis[edit]

Is there a source for his Alzheimer's diagnosis? I could not find one in the article. I ask because Hope Bryce denies that he was ever diagnosed with Alzheimer's (despite others' claims that he had Alzheimer's) in Foster Hirsch's biography of Preminger, which is cited elsewhere on the page. I will add a mention of Hope's claim in the article text; if there is a source to the contrary, that should be mentioned as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.114.30 (talk) 09:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
