Talk:Charles Coburn

Cleanup tag
I think the article is too fractured, with several one sentence "paragraphs" and such.--Jfurr1981 17:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Political mixup?
If he was so right wing, why does it say he was opposed to Fascism as well as Communism? Was he a rabid middle-of-the-roader? That would be a first. Clarityfiend 00:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * As far as I know in the 40s and 50s the Ven diagram of staunch Republicans and members ofd Citizens Councils was about zero. Coburn would be a big exception. Maybe he supported Dewey over Truman because of Truman desegregating the military, but this needs more work Hugo Lane (talk) 04:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Grandson??
Is it true that Charles was the grandson of James Coburn? I have read biographical sketches of both that omit this.
 * I have no idea. I found a couple of sites, such as this one, that claim he is, but I'm going to tag the claim in the main article. Clarityfiend 01:30, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Grandson?????

I believe you meant to ask is Charles Coburn the GRANDFATHER of James Coburn. My grandfather was Charles Coburn's cousin. I do not believe that he was. It has never been mentioned by any family members. --75.216.19.87 (talk) 14:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I think there is ANOTHER Charles Coburn, a British music-halls inger famous for his song "two lovely black eyes' at the beginning of the twentieth century ....Johncmullen1960 (talk) 14:59, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Fact, not fiction, please
"burned at the stake during the witchhunt"? I don't think so. Cunningpal 12:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Edison, the Man
Shouldn't Edison, the Man be added to the selected filmography? Psalm 119:105 (talk) 12:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Widow
I believe that Winifred Coburn (nee' Natzka) did not die in 1998, and that she remains very much alive!


 * She certainly could be alive, but she'd be 90 now. Do you have any proof that she did not die on 11 December 1998, as we're currently saying?  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  07:37, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
