Unreferenced claims[edit]

Unreferenced claims of gang and underworld connections are pretty inappropriate. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying it needs citation. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

Read the Classical story of Hollywood, also book: Hollywood Cryptonite, there are references, it's all over. Also go under Paul Bern, it says Mannix was never prooven of the crime, but he was a suspect.

See WP:Verifiability. If you have books to cite, you should cite them more carefully (exact title, author, etc), and it should clarify who suspected him (police or conspiracy theorists, etc). The Paul Bern article here is not a source, since the edits there are being made by the same person who is editing this article. -- Curps 21:59, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that Hollywood Kryptonite is essentially a novel, absolutely unsourced, crammed with factual errors and innuendo, and pretty much disregarded by the real scholars of George Reeves' life, career and death. Its alleged "facts" are simply stories made up by the authors (like their "solution" to the mystery) or fables which have no basis in fact. Attributing murder to a real person without some sort of factual back-up is pretty creepy, and unfair.User:Ted Newsom

snopes.com has researched the claim about Clark Gable and the hit and run very carefully, going back to the original newspaper clipping that stated that Gable rammed his car into a tree on Howard Strickling's lawn. They have taken the details apart line by line and -- it isn't true. The story is a combination of two different newspaper stories and out of that grew an urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/gablecrash.aspx This is how urban legends happen - people copying sloppy research from one book into another.Chandler75 (talk) 16:08, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MGM: Mannix position[edit]

Mannix wasn't a head studio exec or vice president at MGM, as for producer maybe he did have that title. Prior to the release of Hollywoodland and actor Bob Hoskins performance as Mannix there was no online presence for him. His wife, Toni was known and photographed; by extension him. However, MGM apparently wanted their stars secrets kept and the man that fixed them, so they didn't mention Eddie Mannix.
