Talk:Raymond Lewenthal

Date of Birth
Slonimsky says he was born 29 August 1926. I prefer to believe him, as he always bases his dates on birth certificates. If there is a more compelling argument for 1923 than the current linked article, I'd be happy to consider it. JackofOz 23:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

An examination of his birth certificate (Certificate of Birth, No. 418578) confirms 1923 as his birth year. I have explained the probably reason for the 1926 birth date that is given in many sources. Malikf 23:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Hollywood Career
IMDB has no knowledge of his involvement in films as a child actor. Does anyone have any information on this? JackofOz 02:07, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

He had walk-on bit parts in a few movies in the mid 1930s, including I Dream Too Much, Mutiny on the Bounty, and A Tale of Two Cities. More info on this can be found in the Raymond Lewenthal Collection at the University of Maryland. Malikf 23:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Plagiarized?
This seems to be plagiarized from [], given in the link in the main article. Hmmm.


 * I agree. That page is copyright, U. of Maryland and asserts a last revision of 2003. The apparently offending material was added 28 January 2006 by an anon user from 67.161.47.7, so it looks like we're the problem, not them. I see no choice but to apply WP:CP and revert. Looks like most of the non-infringing work was formating, fixing, and categorization, so it shouldn't be a killer loss. Ick. I'll revert it tomorrow evenening (about 24 hours from now) unless someone else does it first. --studerby 02:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

child actor
I think the mention of his child acting is overstated, considering that there is no record of even the tiniest of parts in IMDb, in other words he is not listed in IMDb. I studied privately with him for several months btw. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Encyclopedant (talk • contribs) 16:58, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
