Talk:George Sanders

message: My foxhole buddy in WWII in 1944-1945 was George Sanders Son-Burtrum Sanders.  We were in the 103rd infantry division in the 7th army-after the battle of the bulge he became division photographer.He would tell me stories about his dad in Hollywood and movie making.  I lost track of Burt after the war.  What ever happened to Burt Sanders?

replies: text: I have read George Sanders personal autobiography, Memoirs of a Professional Cad (1960) as well as two biographies later written about him, A Dreadful Man (1979) by actor Brian Aherne and George Sanders: An Exhausted Life (1990). In all three of his books, none were stated or even mentioned he had a son or Burt Sanders. He clearly said that he was married four times, but he NEVER had any children. So, the name you ask of, is NOT George Sanders (July 3, 1906 - April 25, 1972) son. 20yearoldboyfromNY (talk) 01:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Lately the biographical section of this article has been split up so as to separate the "Death" portion from the rest - with the filmography inserted between. Is there some reason for this? It seems to run contrary to the pattern of other articles about actors.RandomTool2 (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Because he was born in Russia of British parents the flag can be somewhat misleading, although I have never been the person who removed it.RandomTool2 (talk) 12:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Filmography 

message: It appears that George Sanders (actor) has NO offical website. The best websites for him are currently on Wikipedia and IMDb, but no OFFICIAL WEBSITE, like GeorgeSanders.com, but unfortunately it is already taken by a real estate agent, which is of NO relation to the actor. If an official site was to be created, a url like George_Sanders.com (with underscore or something) to differentiate from already existing site. Wikipedia would list his offical website if he did have one. Is it possible anyone here thinks he DESERVES an OFFICIAL site? He was an EXCELLENT actor, ALMOST LEGENDARY. Actors like Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor and EVEN his ex-wife Zsa-Zsa Gabor have their OWN OFFICIAL WEBSITE. Could possibly someone create a new OFFICIAL WEBSITE for George Sanders, and then that link could be referenced HERE on Wikipedia. With his high status, and nobility of such a great and well-known actor he surely deserves to have an official website. It would just be so rude to ignore this and not make a dedicated website for such a talented actor. 20yearoldboyfromNY (talk) 04:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: THIS is NOT the PLACE to discuss WHETHER he SHOULD have his OWN WEBSITE or NOT.  If he ever gets one, we'll no doubt reference it.  If not, not.  (Spelling note: Can I suggest you let your words speak for themselves; capitalising many words in a paragraph simply detracts from your message and makes the post very unattractive.  Written communication is as much about visual appeal as it is about the meaning of the words.)  --  JackofOz (talk) 04:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: "That Kind of Woman"

message: In the section "Death," there is this: "David Niven wrote in his autobiography The Moon's a Balloon that his friend Sanders, in 1937 at the age of 31, had predicted he would commit suicide when he was 65." On March 15 of this year, an anonymous IP changed the title, saying in his/her edit summary, "David Niven's autobiography is 'The Moon's a Balloon' and not 'Bring On The Empty Horses'". While this statement in and of itself is true, the problem in the article may have been the use of the term "autobiography" rather than the title given, as his own article describes Horses as "a collection of highly entertaining reminiscences from Hollywood's 'Golden Age' in the 1940s." The statement about Sanders could very easily be in that one. Yes, I know I'm mixing "1937" with "the 1940s," but just because OUR article limits that book to that decade does not in any way, shape, or form prove that it actually is; all things considered (especially the fact that Niven spent a good part of the '40s well removed from Hollywood in World War II military service), that doesn't seem plausible at all. While there is a ref citation to Balloon here, it is just to the book as a whole (no page number, chapter number and/or name, or anything else), and very poorly formatted. I assume it was just put up after the title change and can't give it any real credibility. Does anybody know in which of these two books Niven actually wrote this? --Tbrittreid (talk) 21:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a detailed reference for this. The statement is in Bring on the Empty Horses, page 304. (In case you have a different edition, this is in the second section of the final chapter.) (Peter Ells (talk) 16:24, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  David Niven's statement 

message: I refer to this paragraph: "He then starred as Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert in Ivanhoe (1952), dying in a duel with Robert Taylor after professing his love for Jewish maiden Rebecca, played by Elizabeth Taylor". I'm new to wikipedia and I just read the guideline on spoilers, but nevertheless I think those information aren't so relevant to "justify" the spoiler effect. Could we be more generic about the facts in the movie? Ceccobartfast (talk) 11:37, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
