Not sure about this line

Citing famous practitioners of urine therapy. such as Gandhi and Nero, Former PM of India Moraji Desai,did follow the therapy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.25.172.168 (talk) 15:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certain that, if she did say something that sounded like "Nero", it was "Nehru" (former Prime Minister of India). However, tracking down a source that verifies she said either one of those is difficult.

One thing worth remarking upon is the number of places on the internet that have exactly the same sentence as appears here, together with the Nero mention. I think somebody is merely copying text which wrongly included a Nero reference, and it's spread into the status of a world wide myth.

In the source already given for this (an interview with Miles) she clearly only cites Gandhi, so I've amended the article and noted the citation. --JH49S (talk) 02:06, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well as long as nobody's taking the piss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.43.36 (talk) 01:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"remarried until his death" - no clue what this means

subject line says it all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.11.85.188 (talk) 22:37, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Father's name?

If her mother was Clarice Vera Remnant, whose father Francis was he who was allegedly son of Prince Francis of Teck, why is Miles's father's name given as Frank Remnant? Surely it should be [X] Miles? One source indicates his name to be John Miles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.207.204 (talk) 19:28, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Urine drinking

The article currently states: Miles stated, in 2007, that she had been drinking her own urine for 30 years for health reasons.

Miles revealed this long before 2007 during an interview on the Irish television chat show, The Late Late Show. I can no longer remember exactly when I saw this interview but it was during the 1970s or 1980s. — O'Dea (talk) 18:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was actually Robert Mitchum who first revealed to reporters that she drank her own urine. This was during the filming of Ryan's Daughter, and was payback for her sabotaging a lobster dinner he was giving for cast members. She relates the complete story in her memoirs.Saratoga Sam (talk) 16:21, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to delete lengthy plot description

THIS ENTIRE PASSAGE IS TOO DETAILED AND SHOULD BE DELETED: "The film received positive reviews, described as funny, colourful and clever, capturing the early enthusiasm for aviation.[7][8][9] It was treated as a major production, one of only three full-length 70 mm Todd-AO Fox releases in 1965 with an intermission and musical interlude part of the original screenings.[10] Because of the Todd-AO process, the film was an exclusive roadshow feature initially shown in deluxe Cinerama venues, where customers needed reserved seats purchased ahead of time.[11] The film grossed $31,111,111 theatrically and on home video $29,950,000.[12][13] Audience reaction both in first release and even today, is nearly universal in assessing the film as one of the "classic" aviation films." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:A2B3:AC00:3090:CD33:97FF:81D1 (talk) 09:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I have deleted some of the detail. It could probably be edited down some more. Ttwaring (talk) 16:49, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
