[edit] Milland derivation
I removed this sentence 'Former jockey turned romantic leading man of the 1930s, predominantly in light comedies and occasional mysteries.' which appeared in a paragraph to which it appeared to bear no relation. If anyone knows to what it refers, could they re-write it and insert it in its correct place? Also, there's a discrepancy over where his stage surname came from: and area (the "mill lands") of the town (Neath), or a street in the town. Jasper33 18:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- There's no real discrepancy as Milland is the name of both an area of Neath and of a road running through it. -- Picapica 15:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date of Birth
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography gives Milland's date of birth as 3 January 1907. -- Picapica 15:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
According to Ray Milland's autobiography, Wide-eyed In Babylon, He was born in 1907. In the beginning of chapter four he states that he was one year older then his childhood friend who was ten in the summer of 1918. There does not seem to be a question about the month and day of his birth. I'll make the appropriate changes in the article.

According to the US Social Security Death Index he was born Jan. 3, 1907. Go here and search for Ray Milland.Kentucho 03:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Autobiography
He wrote a book "Wide-eyed in Babylon: An Autobiography" 1975. Maybe there will be a reference in it to his wife's name. Online I have seen Muriel Webber, Muriel Weber, Malvinia Warner and a reference to Mal. --User:Brenont 02:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
