Talk:Moss Hart

message: A recent addition to this article repeats what is considered common knowledge that Moss Hart considered himself to be homosexual before meeting and marrying Kitty.  While this is accepted as common knowledge by most theater people and I personally know a man who Moss made passes at when the fellow was a young man, that is Original Research and as such cannot be included.  if we want to discuss his sexuality, we need sources and reliable onces at that.  I would be inclined to list him as Bisexual given his long marriage and fathering of children.  Also needing sourcing is the issue of his having undergone therapy (then called analysis) to overcome his homosexuality.  Even "facts" held widely to be true need to be sourced.  I have found this to be especially true on Wikipedia when it comes to issues of Bisexuality, Lesbianism or Homosexuality.  I'll see if I can find any sources to back the new statements up.  if not, they have to go for now.  Any help other editors might give would be appreciated.LiPollis 08:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Issue of his sexuality

message: In this article as well as many others, Danny Kaye is stated to be bisexual or homosexual as though it is "fact," but in Danny's own article it's disputed....this kind of no-citation creep needs to be stopped....206.218.208.57 14:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Danny Kaye 

message: I was just reading the almost forgotten Act One tonight (got it free at the library-- being pruned from the shelves for lack of interest, I guess) and I turned here for some perspective. It's gotten better since I read it as a kid. It's become a beautifully written, and invaluable eyewitness document about a lost theater world. Several of them. I wonder why I thought it was funny, though, when I originally read it. I turned to Wikipedia to confirm a guess, and yes, it says he had bipolar disorder. Hart's disorder, which he himself calls "melancholia" and describes in one place with some wonder, is so obvious now even to this layman. Sometimes he goes from high to low in a single page. He's always being thrilled, then having his hopes horribly crushed. Poor guy. No medicine then, and very little psychiatry. Profhum (talk) 10:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hart's autobiography, ACT ONE 

message: This seems like ad copy. It even keeps the ! of the original press release. 2605:E000:62CF:8D00:C1CF:EB32:5B06:6B69 (talk) 23:08, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moss Hart and Kitty Carlisle Hart New Play Initiative 

message: I renamed and shortened the following section called "Advocacy":
:In 1947, as a member of the Dramatists Guild of America Hart served as the tenth elected Guild president. There he continued his work for advocacy as president for almost 10 years, until 1956 when Oscar Hammerstein II became his successor.
because the phrase "work for advocacy" makes no sense.  If someone knows facts, this section can be improved. Zaslav (talk) 22:41, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: What advocacy?

message: No. Jewish immigrants from England. Grammar matters. 2603:6000:D700:194D:1892:2DD:C5C9:5691 (talk) 18:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "English-born Jewish immigrants"? 

message: Given that both Moss Hart and Lorenz Hart were active in theatrical circles during the first half of the 20th century in New York City, it might be helpful to distinguish between the two. I have slipped up on this myself.
