Talk:George Kennedy

Sports promoter?
"This article is about sports promoter. For the sports promoter, see George Kennedy (sports promoter)." I realise there is another George Kennedy, but this article is not about a sports promoter, it's about the actor. This phrase needs to be re-worded. I'm still learning my way around Wikipedia so I don't know how to change it. If anyone can help, thank you. Roaming27 23:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure George is indeed a very nice man, but this is an encyclopedia, not a blog. The following is not appropriate for this format: ''Kennedy was an avid pilot and client of Robertson Aircraft Corporation. I met him when he had his Piper Aztec modified. He took my wife and I to dinner one evening. He was a very gracious host. Throughout the meal, other diners came to our table to greet George and request his autograph. He was patient and genuine with all... a true gentleman in an industry known for 'egos'.'' Louiefontanez 20:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Monday Oct 8, 2007 - 'George Kennedy' is a common name. I have recently added an entry about Canadian businessman George Kennedy (1799-1870) for which Georgetown, Ontario is named after. A disambig page should be created for the (at the moment Three) George Kennedy entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Data beagle a1a (talk • contribs) 14:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Family/daughter(s)
I'm a casual reader of Wikipedia that would like to bring something to the attention of those who are more active in editing and contributing.

GSN showed a rerun of Match Game with George Kennedy, and sitting in Brett Sommers' seat was his daughter Betty Kennedy. Out of curiosity about what she had done, I searched and found the Wiki entry on George Kennedy. Is the daughter that's mentioned here, Shauna, the same as Betty, or is there a second daughter that should be included? Here is the IMDB entry for Betty -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0447926/ -- but nothing is said of her going by another name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.53.113.39 (talk) 14:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Never mind this. I must have misheard something in the first rerun. The other week I saw another with the two and Gene Rayburn commented that they were NOT related. 173.53.87.215 (talk) 14:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Death
Did he really die of lung cancer? Is there an evidence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.137.117.91 (talk) 10:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed. None of the sources I've seen mention lung cancer at all. They all say Kennedy died of "natural causes" but had "heart problems." Marked as "Dubious" accordingly.  Oh No! It's Faustus37!  it is what it is - speak at the tone 11:06, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Army career
16 yrs. in the army ... Does anybody know what rank he did have?--the-luxman 15:56, 1 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by The-luxman (talk • contribs)
 * According to the Wall Street Journal he was discharged with a rank of Captain. I'll add that to the article.  -- Jayron 32 16:02, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

The link to The Blue Knight goes to the film article, not the TV show.

Post
I was married to Georges daughter Shannon Kennedy (Landis married name at time) and this is disturbing how Wikipedia handles their page. I posted to new articles to his page and they were taken down. There is no daughter Betty and he had only Shannon, Shaunna, Carrie and Kris. He also had his grand kids who he lived for and that is why he moved to Idaho. I was married to his daughter Shannon for ten years and was best friends with George for many years. This Wikipedia article is absolutely absurd and a disgrace to his legacy. Contact me if you have questions. My children lost their grandpa and this nonsense written about him is not at all true, other tan the career he had as an actor..... No facts about his family , life and how he died.....Nonsense....Dan Landis.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Landis (talk • contribs)
 * For all we know, you could be someone only pretending to have known Kennedy.
 * If you care about Kennedy, you should realize that our policies are in place so that someone can't just come in and claim to be his secret love child who got to keep all his hidden diaries full of lurid secrets. Instead, we stick to stuff that independent publishers knew wouldn't violate libel laws. Ian.thomson (talk) 06:59, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
