Talk:Chauncey Beadle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Being There

This statement in the article:

Beadle's name was possibly the inspiration for the name of the character Chauncey Gardiner in the movie Being There, filmed largely at Biltmore Estate.

is based on a source I read in the past, but I've not been able to find it again. (I believe this was in some literature or a display at Biltmore Estate.) It is such an interesting tidbit connecting Beadle to popular culture that I did not want to leave it out, hoping that somebody else could pin down the reference. Comments and more information welcome. (updated) --Cotinis 15:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beadle's place of death

Presumably, Beadle died in Asheville, North Carolina, but I've been unable to verify this. I'll try to find out more information on a future visit. If anyone has any information, please add it.--Cotinis 16:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
