Talk:Elmore Leonard

Photo caption

The info box on the right hand side seems to imply that Leonard was 84 when he was born. Can someone fix that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.145.141.63 (talk) 19:24, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

'The Tonto Woman'

This has been made into an excellent short film, and is available on DVD under the title '2007 Academy Award Nominated Short Films'. I do not see it on the list of stories that have made it to film.

Death Reported

According to the Facebook page of a friend of Elmore Leonard, the author died at 7:15AM 2013-08-20 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=481804258577794&set=a.173696349388588.40899.173642292727327&type=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Algotruneman (talk • contribs) 13:30, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Inconsistencies

The DetroitObit source is inconsistent with what was/is in the article from other sources in some ways:

1. What is his first wife's name? This source said Beverly Decker, while others have Beverly Claire or Beverly Cline.
2. What is his second wife's name? Joan Leanne Lancaster or Joan Shepard?
3. The source says he divorced his third wife last December, but others do not.
4. The article says he had 3 daughters and 2 sons. This source names 2 men, 2 women, and the ambiguous "Chris Leonard". Is Chris an unmarried daughter (or one who didn't take her husband's name, etc.) or is the count wrong?
5. The article said 15 great grandchildren but the source said only 5. With 5 children born in the 1950s-60s (at least two of whom we know are married daughters) and 13 grandchildren born in the 1970s-80s, it seems more likely that 15 great grandchildren is correct, no?

It would be good to have info about his military service (I think), too. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 18:06, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

The info box says he was married to Christine Kent until his death. The text says he divorced her in 2012. So which is correct? American In Brazil (talk) 03:21, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
