Talk:Dalton Trumbo

message: Can anyone suggest works I might study Trumbo's homelife, with his wife Cleo and children? I remember seeing photos and films of the red trials, and Cleo made quite an impression on Congress. I think that would be worthy of further insight. Help? Thanks and happy new year.

message: "However, Trumbo always maintained that those who testified under pressure from HUAC and the studios were equally victims of the Red Scare, an opinion for which he was criticized.[citation needed]"  I concur with the need for a citation.  The later part of the sentence is passive.  "Was criticized" begs the question by whom?--David Tornheim (talk) 22:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

‘Begging the question’ means exactly the reverse of raising it.59.102.126.169 (talk) 07:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

message: The material about Martin's learning about politics and art because of his brief involvement with Dalton's daughter is more appropriate for his article rather than this one.  His education has too much space here.Parkwells (talk) 15:48, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Deleted material on Steve Martin

message: I have added some information from the obituaries, especially the Washington Post (ref name=well) on his early adult life. Regarding Vogue magazine:
:(quote) Trumbo got his professional start working for Vogue magazine.
Well says that he worked at the bakery until after "Vanity Fair, The Forum and other magazines began publishing his stories and essays. In 1934 he became managing editor of the Hollywood Spectator and then joined Warner Brothers" (see the article). --P64 (talk) 23:47, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

message: The entire "Involvement" section has an apologetic tone to it. "Membership in the Communist Party was not illegal in the United States." Who said it was? Orthotox (talk) 17:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This is definitely a problem that needs to be addressed. Sorry for not noticing this earlier. This is what we are discussing in the above section "November 2015". DaltonCastle (talk) 18:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I learned in an email today that there is a sculpture of Dalton Trumbo in downtown Grand Junction, Colorado. Since I don't know how to document things to Wikipedia standards, I am requesting that someone find documentation about this and add it to the "Legacy" section. The email I received was from Colorado Public Radio (cpr.org). ---Dagme (talk) 01:10, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
