Gestapo?

‘When he was told he could come on as someone else, he appeared dressed as a member of the Gestapo.’

What?

What Sellers did on Parkinson was perform an excerpt portraying the oddball New York character who wrote the musical ‘Springtime For Hitler’ which was the production featured in The Producers (musical)

Surname at birth

Was Peter Sellers' birth name Richard Henry Seller or Richard Henry Sellers? I'm seeing some sources state that the "s" was only added later. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 00:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I checked the birth index and he was registered under Richard Henry Seller. His first two marriages (to Aspinwall-Howe and Ekland/Eklund) and his death are registered under the names Peter Sellers and Richard Henry Seller. I looked for his parents marriage and they married under the names William Seller and Agnes Doreen Ayres formerly Marks (I ordered it to make sure they were the right people). While his birth name is indeed Seller not Sellers, his parents deaths both appear to be under Sellers and his children are all registered as Sellers (Victoria's mothers maiden name is Ekland not Eklund as well.)

I hope this information is helpful (I can go into more detail if you're interested)

Missing from the Filmography

Is there any particular reason why the 1968 Film - The Party - is missing from the Filmography section of the Article?

Has anyone complained about him playing an Indian Actor in body makeup? Steve s brook (talk) 22:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Summary of Changes

1. Inclusion of birth name in infobox (Richard Henry Sellers). 2. Two references have dead links (fixed one and replaced the other with a different citation and changed the sentence with information from alternate citation). 3. Added influence sentence to lead.

Hi Chirpy-slirpy-BURPY, thanks for bringing this to the talk page. However, at this point some of your changes have been reverted by multiple editors, so it would be best to seek consensus for those. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:20, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
