G. Stanley Jones

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 35.133.216.133 (talk) at 18:34, 24 June 2020 (According to imdb, Stan Jones was born in 1926, not 1966. That would make him 72 when he died, not 32. Evidence for this is that it's highly unlikely he was 12 years old when he played Lex Luthor on Superfriends. IMDB also list the cause of death as heart disease, not cancer. But since I can't verify that I'm not changing it.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.
