[edit] Gay?

I read recently that he was gay. This doesn't seem to sit comfortably with his 6 (!) marriages. Is there a citation about this aspect of his life? JackofOz 03:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Role in "The Greatest Story Ever Told"

The Career section of the article says that he played "King Herod", with a link to Herod Antipas. However, the Filmography section says he played "Herod the Great", Antipas' father. Unless he played both parts, one of these needs correcting. EALacey 21:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

There are 2 dates in the article for his death, 1964 and 1967, I don't know which one is the right one, and I'm not good at editting these things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.177.0.191 (talk) 02:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popular Culture

I restored the paragraph on popular culture, deleted by Treybien on 25th October 2007. It is of note here, that his name lives on in the culture of a younger generation than those who will rememeber his work. Trenwith (talk) 19:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other Appearances

An excellent addition to this page, in addition to the filmography, would be Theatre (Plays) and Television appearances. I will start with one - a television appearance: He was the lead character, a cunning thief, in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode titled, "The Diamond Necklace" Relguk (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
