Talk:Art Buchwald

message: No mention of the NYT video obit?
His opening line "I'm Art Buchwald, and I just died." is surely one of the best "famous last words", even if it challenges the last words concept.

thread_title: Death & Video Obit

message: In the movie The Philadelphia Story (1940), Art Buchwald's name appears prominetly in the byline in the close-up of a newspaper article, although he was only fifteen years old at the time. - John Doyle
I believe that you are confusing that with the 1955 Alfred Hitchcock film, "To Catch a Thief".  In a brief scene early on in the film, there is a shot of a newspaper article in the International Herald Tribune which shows Art Buchwald's column, "Europe's Lighter Side", and Buchwald's byline.CrashRiley 02:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Update request

message: This sentance appears verbatim in both this article and an article from the Tribune Media Services, Inc:
"The column in which Buchwald explains Thanksgiving Day to the French people in 1953 is reprinted every year in late November with ceremonial regularity."
It seems that user 68.66.101.7 added this sentance on May 19, 2005. It's not entirely clear who is plagiarising who - the Tribune Media article gives Jan 18,2007 as the date in the header, but as the article doesn't talk about his death, I believe that this is the access date and not the date that the article is written. I don't have the time today to investigate this further, someone else should if they like to. J. Tyler 19:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Suffering of depression

message: Stanley Marcus says in Minding the Store (1975) that Buchwald was talking to him in the late 1950s during a visit to Paris and saying that he was considering a career change, saying, "I'm afraid I'll wake up one morning to find out that I've run out of anything funny to write about." Marcus advised him, "No, your columns are not based on your own humor but upon the humorous things that happen in the world, and the world will provide you with a constant source of amusement. Stay where you are and continue to do what you are doing." (MTS, p. 101) Marcus says that the Hagerty incident occurred a few months after that conversation, confirming the soundness of the counsel. It's such a great story — though Marcus says it was 1958 and it would have to be '57 — but it doesn't seem to fit well here, nor in the Marcus article. The one way I could see that it would fit would be to put it into a section on depression as mentioned above; then it would dovetail with the concept. Lawikitejana 05:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Not sure if there's anywhere for this

message: He wrote at least one play.  It's called "Sheep on the Runway."  I saw it on Broadway when I was in high school.  That would have been somewhere between 1969 and 1972.  I don't remember which year I saw it.140.147.236.194 (talk) 12:21, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article states "Buchwald also participated to the English dialogues of Jacques Tati's Play Time." What does that mean? Did he write part of the dialogue? Did he translate the French into English? Did he record an English voiceover? Would it be better to say he "contributed to" the film?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.29.176.76 (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
