Treat Williams, Suzanne Somers and Lance Reddick were excluded too, but it's not mentioned in their Wikipedia articles. One person gets no special treatment.2601:449:4582:B3C0:1CC2:7870:6BCB:ECDE (talk) 21:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out the 2017 image was a cropped image which showed him with other Kennedy Center honorees[edit]

I am not at all comfortable with a photo of the Even This I Get To Experience/Just Another Version of You era Norman[edit]

On the first page of his autobiography preface, he even praised Charles Lindbergh and didn't bring up how Lindbergh was someone who had some Nazi sympathy. Lindbergh even got a Service Cross of the German Eagle medal from Hermann Goering and once claimed "There is no escaping the fact that men were definitely not created equal...".[1]. The Norman who boosted Lindbergh's kid appeal and who even credited Lindbergh for inspiring his dad to fly to Oklahoma is not comforting to me.Speakfor23 (talk) 00:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
