Ronin Farrow paternity

There are ample reliable sources discussing Sintra as being the biological father of Ronin Farrow, so it seems odd that this isn’t even mentioned here. Indeed, it’s all over Farrow’s page so I doubt there are any BLP concerns. Thoughts about including something here? --Artificial Nagger (talk) 19:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Since there are "ample reliable sources," why not go ahead and add information about this? Or leave the sources here, and I'll do it. Dgndenver (talk) 15:35, 8 February 2022 (UTC) After posting the reply above, I went to look for those ample sources. I didn't find any. Then I looked for those mentions on Ronan's (not Ronin) page. Couldn't find any of those, either. Dgndenver (talk) 15:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Frank Sinatra as producer and director

It must be mentioned that Frank Sinatra was also a producer of many of his own records. In 1960, he formed his own label, Reprise Records, and made quite a significant number of gold and platinum albums during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

As music director, Frank Sinatra directed the orchestra on several albums, the best known is Tone Poems which he also co-produced.

As film and TV director, Frank Sinatra directed None but the Brave (1965), in which he also starred. he also directed two TV episodes of The Frank Sinatra Show.

As film producer, Frank Sinatra also produced several of the films and TV shows in which he appeared, such as, The Frank Sinatra Show (1952), Johnny Concho (1956), A Hole in the Head (1959), Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), None but the Brave (1965),The First Deadly Sin (1980) and more.Steveshelokhonov 18:31, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Note Sinatra has no credit as a producer on A Hole in the Head, and is an executive producer on The First Deadly Sin. More importantly, putting "director" in the opening sentence would lead the reader to believe Sinatra directed a lot more than one film and two episodes of a variety show. While this should be mentioned in the article, it is not enough to support "director" being listed in the lead as an occupation. - Gothicfilm (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Wrong info about antidepressants

The text says "He also suffered from dementia-like symptoms due to his usage of antidepressants." Actually, this nonsense was said by his manager, as the link shows. Moreover, it is a fact that antidepressants do not cause dementia-lime sympthoms. 2804:14C:87D6:705E:DCA8:4231:5594:81F5 (talk) 04:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Length

At over 16k words of readable prose, this article is too long to read comfortably. It would be beneficial to condense and/or migrate content to subarticles to make this one more readable. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
