message: According to my father who spent his early years as a motion picture cameraman, Russ drank so heavily that he often could not remember which women he was currently involved in. Later he gave up the booze forever and became a member of a Baptist church.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.177.51.152 (talk) 00:42, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I corrected the dates of Meyer's divorces (data available in California public records, although I don't know how to cite it here) and added dates for his marriage and divorce of his first wife, Betty Valdovinos, whose birth year was mistakenly listed as 1949, which is in fact the year they were married.  I also corrected his mother's maiden name.  It is not "Hauck Howe," as McDonough has it.  She can be found in the 1900 and 1910 US Censuses where her surname is clearly Hauck.  The "Howe" error came about because Meyer's mother's maiden name is listed as "Howe" on his entry in the CA birth index, probably a mis-transcription of "Hauck." --Briankaz 18:47, 13 Sep 2010 (UTC)

message: Is he really dead?  IMDB has no record of it, and they have a listing for a movie called Pandora Peaks listed for 2001, several years after he supposedly died.
:I removed the death date.  You would think his death would be noted on his official page.  There was apparently also a baseball player named "Russ Meyer" who did indeed die in 1997, and whoever added the date may have confounded the two. == IHCOYC 01:27 Mar 22, 2003 (UTC)
The filmmaker Russ Meyer has indeed died, earlier this year I believe. Jalabi99 17:00, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the following claim:
"In 2001, Russ Meyer was suspected of operating a drug smuggling enterprise which allegedly ran cocaine from Colombia to Los Angeles. It turned out he was merely importing butterflies for his niece Jessica McFadden. She loved butterflies."
since it sounds rather dubious to me and is uncited. If anyone has more info or a citation available, feel free to reinstate it. 24.151.79.108 03:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  ''Black Snake'' or ''Blacksnake''? 

message: The article does not mention Pandora Peaks at all. Neither the actress who was associated with him nor the movie he made. This would seem to be a serious omission. HairyWombat 06:19, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Recently I did a fairly obvious set of searches on Netflixes streaming search engine, then on Netflix itself, and I got no match against the obvious things, Russ, Meyers, Ultra Vixens.  I suspect this is the end of Russ Meyers; censorship was never so complete.

replies: text: You probably didn't get any search results on Netflix because you spelled the man's name wrong. His name is Russ Meyer, not Russ Meyers. I just looked up "Russ Meyer" on Netflix and got three results, so Netflix does in fact carry his films. So yeah, no Nazi-like censorship going on over at Netflix's headquarters. Also, the movie you searched for (presumably it was Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens) isn't carried by Netflix and probably never will be. Contrary to popular belief, Netflix doesn't carry every film under the sun. If you're jonesing for some Meyer films, I suggest you head on over to Amazon and purchase them as most are available on DVD. They're a bit pricey but you can thank the executors of his estate for that. They hold the rights to his films (except for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls which is owned by Fox and was released on DVD some years back), and generally charge an arm and a leg for the distribution rights. 24.224.43.225 (talk) 21:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
