Talk:Maurice Chevalier

message: The NPOV of this article is in serious doubt. It requires citations and clean up, including the bio by David Bret as authorized by Chevalier's family, but I have not seen it described as an authorized biography, except by "Waterstones online" completely changing the title of the Bret book to include the word "authorised". One other issue in this article that is positively revolting and without merit, citations or references is this paticular comment:
"He started a relationship in 1952 with Janie Michels, a young divorcee with three children.(Alledgedley more sexually interested in the children than the mother) Being a painter she encouraged Chevalier's hobby."
The way this has been written is to imply that Cevalier's hobby were the children of J.Michels. It would be nice to see other editors assist in the clean up of this hardly neutral article. Brattysoul (talk) 22:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "In 1909, he became the partner of the biggest female star in France, Fréhel. However, due to her alcoholism and drug addiction, their liaison ended in 1911. Chevalier then started a relationship with 36-year-old Mistinguett at the Folies Bergère where he was her 18 year old dance partner; they eventually played out a public romance."  
If Chevalier was born in 1888, how could he have been 18 when he became Mistinguett's dance partner after his liaison with Fréhel ended in 1911?  If the dates in the article are accurate, he turned 23 in September 1911. Mhrogers (talk) 22:57, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

message: (1) No mention of An American in Paris and Chevalier's not being cast in a role basically written about him if not for him, Henri Baurel.  (Of course, that may be partly because there are differing stories as to why this happened -- or didn't happen, if you prefer.  I remember hearing that he declined the part because he didn't want to lose the girl. . . .) 
 
(2) And not even a sausage of a mention of Pepé Le Pew?! 209.172.13.58 (talk) 21:04, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

message: He played in a few pictures, including Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (a rare drama for Chaplin, in which his character of The Tramp does not appear)
:Was this shot in Paris? There is no mention of Chevalier in the wiki page for this film. Could we have a cite? Valetude (talk) 23:39, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cite, please 

message: Hello,
I notice this article, in comparison to the French equivalent, and many other texts, seems to focus much more on the American part of Chevalier’s career. Obviously this is because the people who have written this article in English are primarily American and thus know mostly of that part of his life. I would like to correct this imbalance and expand the article. 
I will first say that while I know a lot about Maurice Chevalier, I am by no means a genius when it comes to editing Wikipedia. I act in good faith but I am not familiar with every rule so please be kind. I am going to leave this message here for a few days before I start editing, in case anyone has an objection or would like to do this differently.
Thank you, I am happy to contribute to my favorite textual resource.
