Death date

This page says Hemmings died on 3 December. The Recent Deaths page says he died on 4 December. Which is the correct date?

---

Best source we have for now is his agent, Liz Nelson, who said: "He had just finished his final shots on Wednesday and was going back to his dressing room when he suffered the heart attack." (See also the Guardian obituary)

So I'm correcting the Recent Deaths page and the December 4 page. If it is found out that he finished his shots just before midnight and died on Thursday, we can change it again.

Why no mention to Deep Red?

confusing

Another (Italian) cult movie in which Hemmings was a pianista involved in a serial killer story is the 1975 thriller Profondo Rosso (also known as Deep Red or The Hatchet Murders) directed by Dario Argento. This is confusing - just how many "(Italian) cult movies in which Hemmings was a pianista" were there? And what is a "pianista"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.17.134 (talk • contribs) 25 July 2007

Heartily agree - simplified it. Cheers, Ian Rose 23:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Missing Movie "Ä Long Day Dying"

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

David Hemmings starred in the 1969 movie "A Long Day's Dying".

An unusual movie about three Special Regiment soldiers behind enemy lines durin ghte Second World War. It was released in mainstream theatres in Perth Western Australia in July 1969.

Quirky film for its time.

I believe the film is one of David Hemmings more important roles and the movie should be included in some detail in his details.

I have a poor copy of the movie on DVD

Kind Regards

Revision planning

Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I'm planning to revise the article by adding some additional information and re-arranging the sections on Hemmings' career into a more clear-cut structure: Acting, Directing, Music and Painting. Also, I plan to add references to already existing material in order to justify deleting the "needs citations" template. Anybody see any problems in doing this? Thanks. --Jburlinson (talk) 22:52, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

No reason to do it that I can see. Without a very careful reading so far, I wonder why this is of interest to the Wiki Opera Project. If above editor feels that it is irrelevant, please remove. Viva-Verdi (talk) 17:24, 23 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

OK, do see the opera connection now, so leave it alone, I guess... Viva-Verdi (talk) 17:26, 23 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
