His first wife's death

[edit]

This article says of Quine's first wife, Susan Peters, that "she died of the effects of anorexia nervosa in 1952, at age 31." That's probably wrong, and apparently came from that footnote, which merely said that "she starved herself to death in October 1952, at 31" -- from which we should not actually infer anorexia. I think a better source would be Susan Peters' own Wikipedia article, which says: "Peters' doctor attributed her death to a chronic kidney infection, a complication caused by her paralysis, and bronchial pneumonia. He also noted that her death was hastened by dehydration and starvation because, in the last few weeks of her life, Peters had "lost interest" in eating and drinking and had lost the will to live." (She had spent the previous almost eight years in a wheelchair, paralyzed from a hunting accident.) 71.204.84.204 (talk) 18:43, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

World War II service

[edit]

Although Quine served in the United States Coast Guard during the World War II era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served overseas in a war zone during the war. Accordingly, Category:United States Coast Guard personnel of World War II was removed from the article. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 17:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative First Wife

[edit]

Many web pages show him with another first wife, Example: [Susan Paley] but no information on dates other than 1942 and a comment they were only married four months before his romance started with his co-star Peters. MonsieurET (talk) 16:51, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"MGM signed [| Susan Peters] to a long-term contract. Quine, who was already married to actress Susan Paley, fell in love with his co-star and in 1943, the pair tied the knot." MonsieurET (talk) 17:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
