Blast From the Past (2000)

Christopher Walken played a supporting role in this comedy starring Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone. 2001:569:BE73:5B00:C588:6FD9:B0ED:36B0 (talk) 15:10, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's mentioned in the 1990s section of his career. Schazjmd (talk) 15:23, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Walken's strange marriage...and the routine omission of it

This edit is entirely self-explanatory and never had any reason to be reverted. In the many books, articles, podcasts and documentaries about the Natalie Wood homicide investigation, Walken is almost always discussed as though he were a bachelor even though he'd been married to his wife Georgianne longer than Wood and Robert Wagner had been at the time. It's a glaringly conspicuous, constant omission and the omission should be noted. Even the deckhand, Dennis Davern, who spent three days on the boat with Walken, wrote in his memoir that he had no idea Walken was married. Nobody has an explanation for why Georgianne didn't go on the cruise with them, or why their marriage doesn't warrant a mention whenever Walken is discussed in the context of the Wood case.

What reliable sources do you have that discuss his wife's absence on the trip as significant? Schazjmd (talk) 12:41, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your double talking one liner is unworthy of a reply, frankly, but I'll be generous. If you had bothered to pay attention you'd have already noticed Georgianne's absence is discussed as significant in the book cited!

To point out the obvious, it's weird for a married man to spend Thanksgiving weekend on a boat with a married couple and not bring his wife, especially since Georgianne knew Natalie and had scenes with her in Brainstorm. In all those love triangle stories that have been in the press for decades, Georgianne's existence is rarely acknowledged, which is an oddity in and of itself.

The book cited is co-written by the boat captain. Do independent reliable sources writing about Walken consider it significant that his wife was not on the trip? If not, it's not important enough to mention in his biography. Schazjmd (talk) 22:09, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
