Not the Sherlock Holmes of the 80's and 90's, but the Sherlock Holmes! I come from Poland and we have had a lot of best acctors.I know Jeremy Brett from story about Sherlock Holmes.It's a pitty that in polish telewison we have a lot of nothing worth american films instead of the great creations of Jeremy Brett.
I once read that in his later years Brett believed that he was Sherlock Holmes! Could this be related to his bi-polar disorder? --82.32.185.133 11:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)BoDiddley
hehe thats a story I have heard. It comes from a bio, forget the name but anyway, it was quite a lie.

[edit] Religion
Anyone know anything about Brett's religious background (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish) ?
I am not quite sure, but I can make a pretty good guess he wasn't jewish.
[edit] Sexuality
Was he ever married?
was he homosexual? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.76.185.34 (talk) 13:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC). He was married twice and devastated by his second wife's death.
Anna Massey's marriage to Jeremy Brett ended with his admission of homosexuality. (Spectator, The, Jun 3, 2006 by Cecil, Jonathan http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3724/is_200606/ai_n16523461)
In addition, the booklet for the Granada Complete Series DVDs refers to his "rarely mentioned" bisexuality in the comments to the Wisteria Lodge episode. The implication is that while the public didn't know much, his friends all did, but that he was bisexual, as opposed to strictly homosexual. --Kuniklos76.182.32.25 (talk) 16:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Memorial Garden and Rose
Hey, I heard that there are plans to start a memorial garden for Jeremy Brett, and that a new kind of rose would be named after him. How can I help make that happen?

Don't bother. That project fell through and nobody except apparently the Founder knows how much money was collected and where it is. And even if you did donate to it, you can't deduct it from your taxes.

- How about a memorial to all of the unfortunate humans who died agonizing deaths as a result of smoking cigarettes? 71.251.139.229 18:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)PipeDreamer

HE DID NOT DIE FROM SMOKING. He died of heart failure with no connection to tobaco.
(I hope you're not a smoker, it would be dreadful if you were and were still so ignorant about the harmful effects of smoking! Along with the obvious lung diseases smoking also causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which can lead to a heart attack. A similar argument to yours could be used to explain death by shooting - in that technically it's the bullet that kills someone, not the gun it is fired from? the result however is the same!)
[edit] Questionable External Link
I removed the external link added by 71.29.21.104 [1] [2]. Please correct me if this isn't the case, but the section called "The Life of Jeremy Brett" seems to be plagiarized from this Wikipedia article. It presents facts in the same order without providing additional information. If the content is a modification of GFDL-licensed work, then it should also be licensed under the GFDL. The website does not appear to do this, meaning it contains unlicensed work which should not be linked to. Besides that, it currently has so little content that it's hard to justify keeping it as an external link. WP:LINKS The article already has links to other fansites. My understanding is that multiple fansite links should be avoided. WP:NOT#REPOSITORY - DWM 04:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Your right about that. I used this in a way, but! BUT! It is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and I will be adding more if you just give me some time. Also, we have content yes, but nothing we use has been modified wrongly.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jeremy Brett.jpg
Image:Jeremy Brett.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
