Lahr living in the UK

Nothing on how long he has lived in the UK? I worked in a Midlands bookshop in 1988 when he came and talked about Joe Orton: he was a UK resident then. So that's getting on for 25 years. 86.133.215.172 (talk) 21:32, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:

Cite templates will be used where possible.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:04, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect dates

It looks like his first marriage ended in 2004, he married his second wife in 2000 after living with her for 15 years, and he met her in 1988.

At least one of those things is incorrect, and I assume at least two are, but I don't know which; in any case, Connie Booth's page also gives 2000 as the year they married «Charles A. L.» wuz here–♥ 14:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
