Talk:Alan Alda/Archive 2

What does "c." stand for?
One of the pictures is described as: "Alan Alda c. 1960s". I wonder what does the "c." stand in the description? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.245.82.2 (talk) 13:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "circa" - meaning that the picture was made some unknown time in or around 1960.Shajure (talk) 22:54, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

The lead is about Alda and his key facts and should *tightly* summarize the article
I removed, again, a bunch of stuff about other folks, kinds of movies, etc. from the lead. If we need that stuff, it needs to be in the body, with some link to Alda's contribution... did Aldo influence a costar's development? A director's? help define a genre? That would be worth mentioning. The name of the 2nd camera-operator's favorite color or pet wombat's name would not.Shajure (talk) 21:50, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Prison?

 * I suspect that's just a reference to his time filming The Glass House. - Bilby (talk) 07:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Missing information

Proposed merge of Elizabeth Alda into Alan Alda
The NYT piece is literally just a cast listing, so no pass on GNG and I don't think her acting work meets NACTOR, unlike her sister. Makes sense to cover her within context of her father's personal life Star   Mississippi  15:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * After literally a year and a day with no opposition,, I think you can proceed with the merge. Joyous! | Talk 04:03, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hah! I'd totally forgotten about this. Thank you for the reminder and ✅ Star   Mississippi  19:12, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
