Note there is a ref to the simpsons bit in the The Virginian, I would try and copy it here but I always seem to mess up references when I try and do them. --86.179.186.239 (talk) 13:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

This article could use a better info box photograph of Troy Donahue

I was amazed when I saw the photograph of Troy Donahue in this article, because the photo was obviously taken shortly before his death, and I would not have even recognized him in the picture. I can't believe what he looked like near the end of his life. He had certainly lost his looks, which is typical for a senior citizen.

I suggest that this picture be replaced in favor of a photo of Donahue when he was in his prime. A picture of a twenty-five-year-old Troy Donahue would be much more appealing than the existing photograph.

I have an analogy in this matter. When Jackie Kennedy was in her early sixties, she look a lot different than she did when she was the first lady of the United States. She had aged considerably and had lost her sex appeal. When she died in 1994, Newsweek Magazine featured her portrait on its cover. The photo was from her days in the White House, and it was a stunning picture to look at. A person doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that a picture of Jackie Kennedy at age 31 will sell better than a picture of her at age 64. In the same token, the photo of Troy Donahue in his Wikipedia article should be from his prime, not when he was an old man.

Days between heart attack and death.

He suffered the heart attack on August 30 and died on September 2 that is three days, not two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.189.88 (talk) 01:44, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Double-checking for quotations

There are a couple instances in the article where odd typos are made in the quotes - e.g. words will be broken with "-" surrounded by whitespace. This issue also occurred outside of quotations (I think I fixed most of those), but that leads me to think that maybe the quotations are flawed. Someone might want to check that the quotations are indeed correct. Kr0ndstat (talk) 20:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
