Talk:Robert Benchley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wasn't Robert Benchley cremated? I remember reading that in his biography. I guess it is possible the ashes were buried at the family plot.--Mantanmoreland 16:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes he was cremated (according to Billy Altman bio). Would be good to add that... I assume his grandson Peter Benchley will also join him in the family plot, RIP. -- k72ndst 02:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Just returned from a lengthy hiatus to see your comment. I will add, as my source for that actually was his son Nat's bio. I suppose two sources are good for this. --Mantanmoreland 18:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
I would like to offer another link for the Robert Benchley page: try www.natbenchley.com to see information about a one-man show about R. B., as well as how to order a CD of his stories read by his actor grandson, Nat. Or for any other authoritative information on the subject.NRBench 22:30, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Visit to Venice
Hmm, his walk of fame/interrment information shouldn't be under "film."
Upon Bob's first visit to Venice, he telegraphed his editor "Streets flooded. Please advise." -HiFiGuy 16:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bibliography needed
This article cries out for a bibliography. --Silverscreen 15:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
Just a note to say that the other day I did a bit of cleanup, as can be seen from the history. This was a fine author of great consequence to modern literary history, and I hope that this article can be substantially expanded. There is a rich array of source material including several biographies. Also this article really cries out for a full bibliography. --Silverscreen 15:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm working on compiling some stuff as we speak. I'm currently knee-deep in another article project, but this is next on my list. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Same here, and will help out when I can. I have a bio of Benchley somewhere in the house.--Silverscreen 17:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
