[edit] "Tufano" vandalism

Note that edits inserting supposed information about "Marc Tufano" are vandalism and should be reverted on sight. This has affected multiple articles (Robert De Niro, The Beatles, etc. etc.) -- Curps 18:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Japan Connection

I'm not sure about the following information but here it goes
spoiler alert
I once saw a short animated movie about depression and in one of the segments it featured Mr. Forman talking about playing solitaire and losing his dog who drowned in a pond. The segment was narrated by Mr. Forman. He also mentioned that he was born in Japan, and having to travel a lot as a kid. I can't remember the name of the animated film, and I'm not sure if it was actually Mr Forman or some other famous director. Does anybody have further information concerning this?? I'd appreciate it -- Witchinghour 05:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

found a reference about this story and animated film at this blog, the title isn't given though http://www.talkingcrow.com/blog/2005/03/ -- Witchinghour 18:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] his name

According to this article, Mr. Forman's real name is Jan Tomas, not Milos. Does anyone know when and why he changed his name? That would seem to be a rather important point that would deserve a mention in his biography. K. Lásztocska^talk 04:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps a better question is why there is no reference cited for any "Jan Tomáš" name. All he cited sources use "Milos Forman" without squiggles (except the Czech one). Even if that is established by a verifiable source, we don't always know how various nicknames get established. Gene Nygaard (talk) 21:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
