Talk:Stewart Granger

Untitled
I don't always understand the administrators on wikipedia pages, so I may be wrong but the claim in the article that Granger was ' equally adept at comedy' seems to me, a 'point of view' comment. I have not seen ' North to Alaska' so don't know if he was good at comedy in this film but he certainly isn't known for his comedic skills. All the reviews of the film I've read say it is a wretched vehicle for John Wayne, and Granger isn't on screen much. The reviews of his work I have read say in fact he was not good at comedy. The claim he had an affair with Deborah Kerr from 1950 is highly suspect as he married Jean Simmons in 1950. Again, everything Ive read says they had an affair circa 1946, when Granger was married to Elspeth March. The bits I have added Ive taken from Shiachs biography on Granger, I hope I haven't broken copyright rules. I acknowledged it twice but then thought it would look messy to cite the same work every other sentence. Those are my thouhts on the article.Sayerslle (talk) 16:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The affair between these two never happened! Deborah's response was basically that it was wishful thinking on his part! 121.217.128.131 (talk) 09:18, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I heard that she commented "He should be so lucky." Valetude (talk) 14:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Is the American actor the primary use of the name, "James Stewart"?
There is a discussion going on about moving the James Stewart dab page to James Stewart (disambiguation) to make room for moving James Stewart (actor) to James Stewart on the basis that the American actor is the primary meaning of "James Stewart".

That would mean anyone looking for the topic of this article by searching for "James Stewart" would get sent to the article about the American actor rather than to the dab page.

The discussion is here. --Born2cycle (talk) 20:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Although I certainly understand that Stewart Granger had absolutely no choice but to pick a different name to be professionally known as, as to go by his birth name would be extremely confusing for just about everyone, particularly moviegoers. But how come in other fields, like sports and politics where there is more than 1 well-known James Stewart, no one requires all the other Jimmys to change their names to avoid confusion? Even if there is the popular instance of each Jimmy becoming famous long after the previous one has died, still your name goes in the history books, so there'll still be some confusion, especially when trying to research a particular Member of Parliament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.90.68 (talk) 00:08, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I think we make it perfectly clear, per WP:COMMONNAME, and you are correct. Rodhull  andemu  00:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

=Bisexual= But I thought Granger was bisexual. I am sure of it. But this bio makes absolutely no mention of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.37.38 (talk) 20:50, 29 March 2014 (UTC)


 * What makes you so very "sure of it"? What are your reliable sources? If you have creditable sources, name them and you can add your bit to the article. Without sources, your anecdote is just that. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 23:14, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

(Yawn) Who cares? - But is this aspect encyclopedic? P0mbal (talk) 22:04, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

It's my understanding that Granger was rumored for much of his career to be either bi or homosexual, insinuated by Hedda Hopper in her gossip column, and later attested to by Christopher Isherwood. This may be what Deborah Kerr meant when she called him "gallant," after he besmirched her reputation by claiming an affair with her to cover his sexual preferences. However, given the period it is extremely difficult to prove definitively since bisexuals and homosexuals were forced to hide their relationships. Lorzu (talk) 09:16, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Confusing sentence in the "Appraisal" section
In 1970, Granger said "Stewart Granger was quite a successful film star, but I don't think he was an actor's actor."

I'm pretty sure the author of the cited newspaper article said that, not Mr. Granger about himself, in the third person... -- megA (talk) 08:29, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Lookalike
This is not a fact but just an opinion and observation, but Stewart Granger resembles in appearance and voice a Finnish actor named Rolf Labbart (1922-2014). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.18.230 (talk) 05:55, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
