==Topic: Disambiguation? Career after Jim Bowie show ended==  : The article states that Scott Forbes eventually became a manager of Studio One, a night club, during the Seventies. I believe that might have been someone else with the same name. Conrad Scott Forbes,

[edit]

the actor's full name, married actress Jeanne Moody, in 1954. They had two girls. When acting jobs became hard to get after the close of the Jim Bowie series Forbes traveled back to England in 1960. His filmography lists a number of credits, for instance, "Lena, Oh My Lena" on British television. He returned to England in 1963 to play the lead in Harold Pinter's "The Lover" in its world premier. This is mentioned in Pinter's website. Forbes was encouraged in his interest in writing by Pinter and wrote "The Meter Man" which was produced in 1964. His play was made into a movie, "The Penthouse." He and his family moved back to England in 1963 where he finished his career, appearing in British television drama, and writing scripts for tv shows. He appeared in an English movie, The Mind of Mr. Soames, in 1970. It is doubtful that he returned to California to be a club manager at this point. All his future acting and writing credits were in English productions, for instance a "Thriller" episode filmed in Englad in 1973. I have used his obituary in The Independent, a London newspaper, along with his filmography, as sources of my information.(Mary K. Mogavero 03:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

==formative years== :Conrad Scott Forbes attended the well known public school, Repton, in England, before attending Oxford University. He used the stage name Julian Dallas when he first entered show business, spending a year with the Liverpool Old Vic. Before coming to the U.S. Forbes appeared in a London production directed by John Gielgud, and played the second lead in "The Reluctant Widow", one of four movies made in the U.K. before coming to the U.S. under contract ot Warner Brothers.

==Studio One Manager?== In the Allmovie Guide Hal Erickson mentions that Forbes became a night club manager when his career faded after "Jim Bowie." I have left a comment on that website asking if there is some source for that. I hope it can be straightened out, since his filmography shows work Forbes did in the U.K. during the early seventies. He has numerous credits in the late sixties on British television as well. I believe Mr. Erickson was used as the source for the original Wikipedia article, but no citations were used. I hope he will be able to shed light on this interesting issue. (Mary K. Mogavero 04:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

==Studio One Issue Resolved==Since another person named Scott Forbes is identified as the owner of Studio One, I propose to remove this item from Conrad Scott Forbes' biography. [[User:Mary K. Mogavero|Mary K. Mogavero

New article needed for Ronald Scott Forbes, who has been confused with Conrad Scott Forbes?

[edit]

Thanks to the contributer who added the paragraph about the Scott Forbes who founded Studio One. He has been confused with the actor, Scott Forbes in articles elsewhere. Should he have his own article? I have a lot of documentation on Conrad Scott Forbes (Jim Bowie), but have none for Ronald Scott Forbes, the American who has been written about at the end of the original article.Mary K.
