thread_title:  Is Bruno Anthony homosexual? 

message: For 1951, the copy reads
:"Walker spent the summer with his sons, and was considering the possibility of remarrying."
And then it says no more except he worked on another film and then died, tragically. But in the infobox, it says he was married a third time. But there is no mention of "Hanna" in the article. So did he not only consider the possibility but actually decided to marry again? Or is the infobox incorrect? 69.125.134.86 (talk) 22:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That bit in the info box is what prompted me to come to the talk section as well. I've just been reading the Starcrossed book and the name "Hanna Landy" isn't mentioned once to my memory. He was seeing a woman named (I believe) Kay Scott at the time of his death, and was not remarried. Where did the name Hanna Landy come from?--Wiesnerc (talk) 03:40, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

message: There is a fan site called the "Robert Walker Tribute Page." In the past it has been used as a source for this article. I just wanted to mention here that it consists in large measure of text copied from Beverly Linnet's Walker-Jones biography, "Star-Crossed." Therefore it cannot be used in any manner by Wikipedia, either as a source or as an external link, under WP:LINKVIO. As a fan site it doesn't qualify as a reliable source anyway.

thread_title: "Robert Walker Tribute Page"

message: *Alternative C or B The Robert Walker born in 1918 is by far the most prominent of the three actors of that name. He was the star of Strangers on a Train and other noted films and the subject of a well-received biography focusing on his troubled later life and marriage to Jennifer Jones. Putting his birth date in the title is pedantic and unnecessary. The other two, his son and the obscure actor born in 1888, can remain as they are, though I lean toward Robert Walker Jr. for the son as that is how he was mainly known. The disambiguation at the top of all three articles can be mad more precise. Coretheapple (talk) 16:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: According to newspaper accounts in the Pasadena  Independent Friday, January 6, 1950 Barbara Ford received her final decree of divorce from Robert Walker on January 5, 1950. There contemporary accounts in other papers as well. In addition, no other author has mentioned anything regarding Hanna Landi or other names she used being married to him. His obituaries make no mention of a third marriage, his estate was left to his sons, there were codicils in his will regarding the exclusion of Jennifer Jones and Barbara Ford from his estate but no mention of a third wife. He would have to be divorced from Barbara Ford in order to legally marry again. It was typical at that time for it to take a year before a divorce was final. It would not be likely that his friend Jim Henaghen would not mention a third marriage, or even a dating relationship with Hanna Landi, since they were close friends. It would be interesting to know what the source of this claim is. 72.28.255.51 (talk) 20:38, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Robert Walker 3rd Marriage Not Possible 

message: I don't have access to the cited source, but it's not quite right to say that a person who died in 1951 supported a candidate in the 1952 election. He may have wanted Eisenhower to run for president, as many Americans did, from before the 1948 election, but Eisenhower was not a candidate for the 1952 election until after Walker's death. ~~ Myfavoriteboxer (talk) 22:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eisenhower 

message: This does not seem correct. Walker died in 1951, and Wikipedia lists Heneghan-Verdon's marriage as lasting from 1942 to 1947. 216.96.227.161 (talk) 20:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
