Ernie Coombs and George Romero[edit]

I remember reading in a bio/filmography of George A. Romero that Ernie Coombs starred in one of Romero's first films, a short science fiction piece that was made around 1960 in (as usual for Romero) the Pittsburgh area. Can anyone find a reference for that bit of info? I can't find the book anymore. Pinkville 18:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency[edit]

This article says that Rogers moved back to the States and then Coombs went on to Butternut Square, but the Butternut Square article states that Coombs and Rogers were on Butternut Square together. Needs to be corrected. --Bentonia School 05:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Ernie Coombs. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Death and 'Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings'[edit]

In Coombs' Death section, there's still a ^{[citation needed]} tag for the claim that he died whilst recording for Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings, but none of the evidence with sources here or I can find online suggest these circumstances (mostly that he died 8 days later after stroke). Following WP:Verfiability, I think taking this portion out to known accurate statements would be a good course of action! Emily CA (MPL) (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
