His performance as the psychopathic closeted homosexual Bruno Anthony was highly lauded and considered to be his finest role.
Are you sure thay Bruno Anthony is homosexual? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.98.21.88 ( talk) 15:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
For 1951, the copy reads
And then it says no more except he worked on another film and then died, tragically. But in the infobox, it says he was married a third time. But there is no mention of "Hanna" in the article. So did he not only consider the possibility but actually decided to marry again? Or is the infobox incorrect? 69.125.134.86 ( talk) 22:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
There is a fan site called the "Robert Walker Tribute Page." In the past it has been used as a source for this article. I just wanted to mention here that it consists in large measure of text copied from Beverly Linnet's Walker-Jones biography, "Star-Crossed." Therefore it cannot be used in any manner by Wikipedia, either as a source or as an external link, under WP:LINKVIO. As a fan site it doesn't qualify as a reliable source anyway.

Inclusion of the birth date for this and the article on his son seems clunky. Can we think of something else? Perhaps Robert Walker Sr. and Robert Walker Jr. See Alan Hale Sr. and Alan Hale Jr., identical situation. Coretheapple ( talk) 15:22, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Consensus to not move. ( non-admin closure) Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 11:03, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
Robert Walker (actor, born 1918) → ? – Currently the article title is
Robert Walker (actor born 1918). There are two other actors named Robert Walker, his son Robert Walker Jr., for whom the title is currently
Robert Walker (actor, born 1940) and an unrelated person born in 1888, with an article name
Robert Walker (actor, born 1888). The question is whether this should be changed.

I have published a notice regarding this RFC on the Talk:Robert_Walker_(actor,_born_1940) page as Alternative C proposes renaming that page. 203.10.55.11 ( talk) 03:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
WP:RFC is not the proper process for rename discussions. That is WP:RM. I've reformatted this as an RM so that the RM bot lists it at WP:RM, where people who comment on move discussions will actually see it. And I've removed the RfC tag, which isn't the right template. — AReaderOutThataway t/ c 07:41, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
According to newspaper accounts in the Pasadena Independent Friday, January 6, 1950 Barbara Ford received her final decree of divorce from Robert Walker on January 5, 1950. There contemporary accounts in other papers as well. In addition, no other author has mentioned anything regarding Hanna Landi or other names she used being married to him. His obituaries make no mention of a third marriage, his estate was left to his sons, there were codicils in his will regarding the exclusion of Jennifer Jones and Barbara Ford from his estate but no mention of a third wife. He would have to be divorced from Barbara Ford in order to legally marry again. It was typical at that time for it to take a year before a divorce was final. It would not be likely that his friend Jim Henaghen would not mention a third marriage, or even a dating relationship with Hanna Landi, since they were close friends. It would be interesting to know what the source of this claim is. 72.28.255.51 ( talk) 20:38, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
I don't have access to the cited source, but it's not quite right to say that a person who died in 1951 supported a candidate in the 1952 election. He may have wanted Eisenhower to run for president, as many Americans did, from before the 1948 election, but Eisenhower was not a candidate for the 1952 election until after Walker's death. ~~ Myfavoriteboxer ( talk) 22:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
This does not seem correct. Walker died in 1951, and Wikipedia lists Heneghan-Verdon's marriage as lasting from 1942 to 1947. 216.96.227.161 ( talk) 20:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
