[edit] What happened to Nolan?

As of 25.06.2006 it is interesting that OsborneĀ“s disowning of his daughter Nolan, presumably because she was non-intellectual, has been airbrushed out: see earlier versions. Why the hagiography? The same problem occurs, after all, in the life of Ingmar Bergman: questionable personal behaviour as against Great Art.

I've restored the 'Women' section, including his unspeakable treatment of Nolan. I don't usually go in for revert wars but unless 216.175.113.47 wants to post some justification for deleting it I'm going to insist on it. Please sign contributions to talk pages. Thanks.

[edit] Drink?

Was his "serious liver crisis" the result of alcohol?Lestrade (talk) 16:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Lestrade

Yes -- his preferred poison was champagne. Heilpern pp 428-9 provides the medical details. --El Ingles (talk) 16:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
