David Niven on screen, stage, radio and in print

 * Nominator(s): SchroCat (talk) 09:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

David Niven was quite an extraordinary individual; a talented actor who won an Oscar and a BAFTA, a best-selling author of fiction and non-fiction and a decorated war hero who returned to the UK at the start of the Second World War, despite being advised by the government to stay where he was. He appeared in comedies, dramas, costume work and war films: in all of them he was a suave and debonair character, which matched his character in his private life too. This list has been separated from the main Niven article, and its scope increased to include his extensive television and radio work. SchroCat (talk) 09:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Quick comment – This April 1952 issue of Billboard mentions an LP release by Niven entitled The Second Elizabeth, while an issue of Gramophone mentions another release entitled The Magic Orchestra. I've seen similar lists for Terry-Thomas and Peter Sellers incorporate musical releases, so perhaps these could be included in the Niven list? Just a thought.

 * Excellent: the discs didn't come up in the book searches I've done, so I'll add these shortly: many thanks for spotting the listing! - SchroCat (talk) 13:38, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Support – Well-sourced and accurately represents the scope of his career. Excellent work. Holiday56 (talk) 13:29, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Television: In the note, the semi-colon before ref 38 should be a period instead.
 * The hyphens in the titles of refs 1 and 2 should be en dashes instead for style reasons. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 20:17, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
