message: Can we deduce from the information in this article that Wally Cox was the brother of Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox, Jr.? I don't remember hearing about this at the time, but it could be true. Tex 14:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, of course we can't deduce that. What a ridiculous query and speculation. -- Jibal (talk) 04:15, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

PS remember to sign your talk posts with four of these tildes ~ so other eds can know who you are.  Best, Julia Rossi (talk) 00:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you must mean a pilot called "Alfred of the Amazon", which he starred in according to producer Robert Justman in the interviews conducted by TV Legends. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3yIfrda4c&feature=player_embedded#!, and it comes at about 04:50 (he also mentions that Cox had the ability to whistle and hum at the same time).

message: These are the marriages listed in the article (also listed on Imdb):
Marriages- Patricia Tiernan (1967 - 15 February 1973) (his death), Milagros Tirado Cox (7 September 1963 - 29 December 1970) (divorced) 2 children, Marilyn Gennaro (7 June 1954 - ?).
Unless Cox was a bigamist, something's wrong because it shows him married to Patricia and Milagros at the same time.

thread_title:  Wally Cox Marriage Error 

message: On the Brando page, it alleges that Cox and Brando had a long time affair.  There is a quote that is sourced, but the relationship is merely alleged.  Can we included a reference here?72.78.20.31 (talk) 08:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Apparently yes. Brando kept Cox's ashes in his bedroom for thirty-one years. What that means, you can decide for yourself. DS (talk) 15:22, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cox and Brando 

message: Wally Cox told reporters that he objected to his TV persona partly because "I'm not a very nice person at all." For evidence that he was actually a disagreeable person, he often pointed to his obnoxious behavior on "Hollywood Squares".
After his death there were rumors of suicide despite the coroner's verdict of heart attack. Newspapers commented that he had attempted suicide other times before, but no details. Wally had said in interviews that there were things the public would be surprised to know. I doubt it was anything along the Brando gay lines, but depression. In early newspaper write-ups about him, before he became famous on television, he freely admitted to seeing a psychiatrist for issues, he said it was part of his therapy to be public about it. The depression may be what he hinted at, those surprising things. Most people have said he was a very nice guy, perhaps he had some self-hatred and told people he was disagreeable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scoundrel13 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disagreeable?

message: Wally was featured in The Night Strangler, a 1973 made for TV movie, starring Darren McGavin and Jo Ann Pflug.  Based on the date of the film, and the date of Wally's death, this role in this film must have been one of his last ones.  L. Thomas W. (talk) 01:06, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Night Strangler 

message: Wally Cox was "Terry Targo," designated safecracker, in the pilot episode of the original Mission: Impossible series (aired aired Sep 17, 1966). I've never been able to determine why they wrote him out of the series, perhaps because Cox took on other work between pilot filming and series air. 2001:48F8:3034:1DF5:DCF0:A995:5754:54B1 (talk) 23:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
