Talk:Walter Huston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Huston

The article erroneously claimed that Walter Huston was born "Walter Houghston" -- since I too am a Huston and he's a part of my well-researched and verified family tree, I can assure you that the name has been consistently spelled "Huston" since our family's arrival in Canada from overseas. Any other spellings are just errors made by record keepers, etc. Eleuther 06:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huston's Year of Birth

I discovered this on the Find-a-Grave site: Marker. Even the site itself lists it as 1884, as does the IMDB. I'll do some more research and see what I can find. If some else finds out what gives here, please post it. Michael David 19:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

  • The marker is obviously in error. The 1884 date is attested everywhere I've looked. The 1894 date would make him barely 12 years old when his son John was born. Eleuther 06:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Now, that sounds REAL stupid.

"In addition to being the father of actor/director John Huston, Walter Huston is the grandfather of actress Anjelica Huston." Any objections against a brief "Walter Huston is the father of actor/director John Huston, and the grandfather of actress Anjelica Huston". Brevity is the soul of wit, and matter-of-fact style is a figurehead of a good encyclopedia :-) -andy 80.129.104.165 21:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

It's a very short article as it is- perhaps someone wanted to fill it out a little.Saxophobia 03:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Enough talk. I've fixed it. JackofOz 04:11, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
