Talk:Stephen Boyd

message: Age? The age of Stephen Boyd confuses me. It says he was born July of 1931, and died June of 1977. In the article it says he was 49 when he died of a heart attack but next to his death date it says he was 48. Even if it was just an error in the article he can't possibly be 48 if his birth date was July of 1931 and died June 1977 (He would be 45 if that was true)Crazycelt72 03:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All reliable sources say 1931, including his own grave. So that's what we go with unless someone can produce his birth certificate. --Rodhullandemu 21:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  there is another inconsistency: it says he married mills in 1977. it also says he died in jun of '77. but it says he was married to mills for 10 months prior to his death. 10 months back from june '77 is august or september of '76. ???? Toyokuni3 (talk) 01:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Mariella di Sarzana filed for divorce after only a few days when she found out he was gay. MGM had to prevent this from being published otherwise it might have affected "Ben Hur"'s performance at the box office. (HelmannArticle (talk) 11:41, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  How tiresome you are!!  Don't you understand that WP works on information that comes from a WP:Reliable source.  An anonymous editor just stating stuff they claim to have heard somewhere is not a reliable source.  We need to know whether you read what Vidal said in some book or publication (details) or saw it on some TV program (details) or read it online (details).  Even so, Vidal saying something about Boyd's private life could just be scuttlebutt, rumour etc.  How would he know what went on between Boyd and any third party behind closed doors?  Was he one of Boyd's gay lovers himself?  How do we know he isn't just making that up?  You see what I'm driving at?  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 18:39, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sexuality 

message: The inclusion of Stephen Boyd as a Scientologist based on a single source (Malko) is rather shaky. Do we have any sources where he actually identifies himself as a Scientologist, or that he had a long-term association with the group? I'd certainly prefer having at least an additional source to back up the claim that he considered himself a Scientologist. Laval (talk) 14:59, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
