Untitled[edit]

IMDB lists a "Wendelin Werner" as an actor playing "The Young Max" in the 1982 French language film La Passante du Sans-Souci.

The Fields medalist would have been a young 14 years or so the year the film had its release. Just a coincidence of names? Or did the mathematician have a movie role as a teenager?

Anyone who Googles "Wendelin Werner" will get hits for both the mathematician and the actor (but with no further information about the actor forthcoming), so clarifying this point of curiousity will provide a small service.

Wendelin Werner is a teenager in the movie : see http://www.filmportal.de/df/b8/Artikel,,,,,,,,F5E1A083DF932B6DE03053D50B377372,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.html

According to the french wikipedia, it is the same person.

I checked with my colleague Pr Werner, he was indeed in the movie. David.Monniaux 16:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No footnotes[edit]

I'm tempted to tag this article with {{nofootnotes}}. Especially with bios on living people, to avoid confusion it's really necessary in my view to provide inline citations pointing to what reference it came from. OlEnglish (talk) 01:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Place of Birth[edit]

I think west Germany is a bit inexact. There are many places he can be born. --Shira Yuri (talk) 16:58, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jew? Sources!

Exactly! And this Jinfo webpage is not particularly reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:2B6D:5500:1850:9F8F:B8F5:2E04 (talk) 23:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
