Talk:Trevor Howard

Birth Year
I thought it had generally been accepted that Mr Howard was in fact born in 1913 and not the previously oft-quoted 1916. Is there any reason why the article maintains the 1916 date? Crisso 11:55, 25 November 2005 (UTC)


 * The IMDb has 1913 and a newspaper clipping from 1956 refers to him as 42, so I'll change it to 1913. &mdash;Whouk (talk) 11:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've checked the birth registers and he's there in 1913. &mdash;Whouk (talk) 15:10, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

His gravestone shows 1913 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6001320/trevor-wallace-howard/photo#view-photo=1667286 Thisdaytrivia (talk) 22:37, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Death year
Well, if he was born in 1913 and died at 71 and it said 1988, how could that be possible? If the age said 71, then he would have died in 1984. Schfiftythree628 00:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Obviously that bit went unnoticed when the birth year was corrected. I've now changed it to 74. Crisso 13:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

CBE
He was CBE, wasn't he? --Ronastudor 13:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I did not pay attention to the footnote of the article. --Ronastudor 09:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronastudor (talk • contribs)
