Where is he buried?[edit]

The Find A Grave reference contains contradictory information stating that his ashes were interred at the Presidio (i.e. San Francisco National Cemetery in San Francisco), then notes his plot in the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno. [1] Location (talk) 21:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting bits of trivia from Jack Benny....[edit]

In Jack Benny's autobiography, Sunday Nights At Seven (co-authored by his daughter Joan), he claimed Percy Kilbride became a star when he appeared in the movie, "George Washington Slept Here." Benny was offered the lead role in the film, so he went to New York to see the play on Broadway. He was impressed by Kilbride's performance as Mr. Kimber, and insisted that he be allowed to reprise the role in the movie.

Benny said Kilbride was a "strange little man." He always insisted on a certain salary for his film roles - no more and no less. He had no friends. Benny wanted to make him a regular on his own radio program, but radio made Kilbride nervous and inhibited his performance.24.56.113.27 (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ralf Belmont[edit]

The article claims Kilbride and Belmont were partners. I can literally find nothing to support this claim anywhere, and I spent over 5 hours on Google trying to find it. Everything I can find says they were good friends, but that that's all. Dpm12 (talk) 03:37, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Error in text of Kilbride's Death[edit]

The text of Kilbride's death states that he died on NOVEMBER 11 at age 76, when elsewhere and in the references it says that he died on DECEMBER 11 at age 76. That should be corrected to DECEMBER 11, age 76.
