Contradiction on page

In the Bio box, he's listed as having 5 children; 1 with his first wife, and 2 each with his second and third wives. In the Anti-smoking advocacy and death section however, he is quoted as saying "Before I die, I want to do what I can to leave a world free of cancer for my six children... ". One child is unaccounted for in the Bio box. Racwp (talk) 15:41, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My edit of 18 Oct 2014

I removed the following from the part of his arrest: "of any immoral conduct" This quote is the rest of the relevant sentence in citation #6 and should be included for clarity, since being naked in a private home cannot possibly be a crime. The bold and italic emphasis is as it was in the article. This violates Wikipedia's rule on neutral POV as it's less an attempt to clarify something as it is more of an editorial comment. It is also factually inaccurate.

In "The Hitch-Hiker" ...

Talman (Emmett Myers) was described as having "his right eyelid partially paralyzed" on a radio broadcast. It seems true. In his many appearances on "Perry Mason" I have noticed something funny about his right eye. Did he get that in WWII, or was he born with it, or what? It's just like a genius like Ida Lupino to write that into the script, anyway. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric Wastrel Way (talk) 01:33, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
