message: According to the lead, the subject died at the age of 65. But the section describing his death says he was 66, so there is still some clarification required. Alfrew (talk) 19:16, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

message: It's unlikely his name was changed to "Factor" by an immigration official since German ship records already list the family with the name Factor when departing Hamburg aboard the SS Moltke on 13 Feb 1904. Rkanyok (talk) 23:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Regardless of what the article in the citation states, Andrew Luster was not the "heir" to the Max Factor fortune, not in a sense of being the sole or primary heir, which this wiki implies.  Luster was not part of the direct line of descent through Max Factor, Jr., did not have any direct role in the family's businesses, and was already somewhat alienated from most of his extended family before he committed his crimes. Some media articles exaggerated his role.  The actual wiki on Luster gets its right.  He was living off of a $1 million trust fund, which was basically all he had from his family. A lot of money, but hardly the family fortune.  Changing the description to "an heir" would be more accurate.  169.252.4.21 (talk) 11:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Under the section "Life in America" the article states that he was already established in St. Louis in 1902, but in the previous sentence his year of arrival in the US (at Ellis Island) is given as 1904.  Which is correct?    Fultie771 (talk) 23:30, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of Max Factor in any list with Oscar awards in 1929 (or any other year). According to academy page there was no Honorary award in 1929 Is there any solid source for that information ? Britanica is mentioning it in Max Factor bio, but he is not mentioned in any article about awards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.253.45.7 (talk) 10:45, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
