[edit] Lithgow's current residence in Los Angeles
This URL http://www.pittsburghsymphony.org/pghsymph.nsf/bios/john+lithgow and bio from Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra indicates he resides in L.A. Other web based bios indicate the same thing. I think his YS resdency is a popularly held misconception that arises because his father, Arthur Lithgow directed Shakespeare in Yellow Springs in the early 1950s and young John spent some time and did some early theatrical work in the area. http://www.oneglobepublishing.com/yso/drama.shtml#lithgow The immediately preceding URL lists John Lithgow as a former resident of YS. Hope this clears up the confusion. -- Rydra Wong 01:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- Given that he's in a TV series this season, you can pretty much guarantee he resides in LA right now. Gzuckier 19:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name Pronounciation
Is his name really pronounced "lith-go", as the article states? I saw him on Late Night with Conan O'Brien once, and I'm almost certain I heard him pronounce his own name as "lith-gow", rhyming with "cow". I'm going to remove the reference to pronounciation from the article until this is cleared up. Anty 13:18, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I have the cast recording of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in which John Lithgow himself pronounces his name "lith-go." So I'll change it back.Kevin M Marshall 14:05, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Worse Razzie
Does anyone know what movie it was for?
- Cliffhanger - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001475/awards - Google is your friend. :-)
[edit] Children's Books
More than passing reference should be given to his marvelous children's books; they deserve a section of their own, like his other performances. Micawber has fascinated my young daughter from an early age. Lithgow's committment to children and education is substantial, as can be verified by his website, http://www.lithgowforkids.com Bob Kerns 08:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
no worries, David. All of them were nice. I just chose one that showed a more organic smile and full face effect. All of the pics were great, and any of them would suit the purpose. Thanks for allowing me to initially choose. :) Arcayne 16:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
