I took "gay" out of the lead since Coco's public persona wasn't that of a gay person. It's not an essential part of his identification, any more than his religion or politics. I didn't put it anywhere else because I wasn't sure where (or whether) it should go, since I'm not sure how well-established his sexuality was. If he was open about it, it could be a sentence to that effect down lower in the article - particularly if he became open about it later in life. - DavidWBrooks 20:07, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Either he was gay or he wasn't -- and he was -- so there's no need to remove factual statements. And, of course it's an important and pertinent part of his "persona" -- many of his roles were written to be implicitly gay including his nominated performance in "Only When I Laugh."
[edit] Possible Copyright Infringement
Since when is listing the filmography posted on an individual's IMDb entry considered "copyright infringement"? Other than Coco's film credits, nothing else on that site appeared in his Wiki article, so I hardly think there was any "infringement" involved. In any event, I have rewritten the article and added info to it to satisfy the copywright "police". SFTVLGUY2 14:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
This issue is the list is copied verbatim, with minor changes, from IMDB which is, according to IMDB, violates their copyright. The list needs to be reformulated so it can't be distinctly recognized as a copy of imdb. The wikipedia standard normally lists films from oldest to newest. Wikipedia also lists film and television appearances as separate.
