Is "Bschliessmayer" really a name? -- Zoe


 * Yes, it is although by no means common (see http://www.aeiou.at/aeiou.encyclop.w/w492732.htm ). By the way, he died in 1984. KF 01:17 Dec 27, 2002 (UTC)


 * Thanks, KF -- Zoe

Hi there, I like your page Zoe but I don't really understand what made you create a site about Werner. Don't mean to be rude, just curious. Maybe you can enlighten me.He was a special kind of person and the reference to his alcohol related death annoys me a bit. Have you ever being in Triesen yourself ? Maybe you should find another hobby!


 * It's an obvious error. No German name or word starts with the letters "Bsch." It should be Schließmayer.Lestrade (talk) 16:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)Lestrade

For those who contribute, authors and editors, may I ask where do you get your information? I am looking to more research on Mr. Werner, but, as you know, sources are scarce. I was hoping that someone could please pass along some advice as to where I might find more info on him. Thank you very much! February 21, 2015 - Yvette, varykno@yahoo.com

I am the reason why
Hey KF, (in reply to the previous post), this page was written for someone like me who is just now discovering, in mid-2003, the fantastic work of Oskar Werner. I appreciate the alcoholism disclosure because I thought I could see it in his bloated face and body but did not know it for sure. The facts about someone's life should not be "censored" -- it may help someone else down the line. Now I wonder what kind of extenuating circumstances in this great actor's personal life (factors that also made his acting so moving) hurt him so badly that he sought refuge in alcohol. Alcohol abuse comes from pain. I know-- my whole life was affected by someone suffering from it. I feel for Oskar. It makes me compassionate about him. I wish many things about Oskar Werner -- one, that I could have been his contemporary and his lover. Thank you Wikipedia for this site and the great pictures.

Long Live the Memory of Oskar Werner. Teresa (aka Catacosmia)


 * You are obviously deeply affected by him, Teresa. I just saw Shoes of the Fisherman for the first time, having previously seen Fahrenheit 451 and Jule et Jim and concur he is a great actor.  The fact that I just discovered he was a pacifist heightens my admiration of him even immeasurably more.  David. 210.50.60.63 (talk) 07:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

"Werner's definitive screen performance was the romantic intellectual Jules in François Truffaut's Jules et Jim (1962), and he became an international star as a result, though it was his portrayal of the philosophical Dr. Schumann in Ship of Fools (1965) that earned the actor his only Golden Globe nomination."

Except he won a Golden Globe for The Spy Who Came In From The Cold... This article is pretty poor, folks...

Re: "This article is pretty poor, folks...": I just now fixed that; and enhanced the "Later Career" as well. Best to fix factual errors immediately when you see them, rather than hide the information on the "discussion" page -- there's no reason for falsities to stay on Wikipedia past the time when they are noticed. Thanks! ~ AV, Jan 20, 2007

Film Career
This whole section is a mess and probably plagiarized, although I haven't verified that. I deleted the one sentence that was undeniably, at the very least, original research (that's my unsigned edit at 22:40) but I was tempted to delete the whole section. Is anyone in agreement that the whole thing should be deleted, or is anyone willing to clean it up? - Bltpdx 22:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Dunno, sounds like there is a kernel of valid info in there re: Truffaut/Werner disenchantment. (This article used to be completely fine/different a year and a half ago. Who messed with it?) I'm not qualified to comment, so I've contacted someone who may be. Suggest contacting other Werner experts you may come across. (I corrected and cleaned up the first paragraph completely, but not the Truffaut stuff.) ~ AV, 19 Jan 2007

I just cut the last sentence of the Truffaut bit: "Towards the end of the film, Werner had also had his hair cut differently from the appearance of his character Guy Montag in earlier parts of the film &mdash; look closely and you can see that it has been fluffed up to make it look like it previously was." Talk about non-encyclopedia tone! The rest of that Truffaut bit isn't great, but it could perhaps be modified to remove POV, and someone could verify facts perhaps. ~ AV, 20 Jan 2007


 * @Bltpdx I assume this information is mostly correct. I only know him from the Columbia episode which he did a great job. He was very convincing. Philhal451 (talk) 23:03, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
