I'm hunting up information on this one. I could've sworn I saw Buchholz credited as either Henry Bookholt or Hank Bookholt in a movie poster of a '50s JD flick in I Was a Teenage Juvenile Delinquent Rock 'n' Roll Horror Beach Party Movie Book: A Complete Guide to the Teen Exploitation Film: 1954-1969. Anyone have more information on that or am I having a case of brain cramp? IMDB yielded me nothing and I can't find a copy in the local libraries. Jaguara 00:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The name Henry Bookholt is also discussed in the german WP-Talk, with no result. They think, it might be created for the US market because of the difficult prononciation, but without eny evidence. 217.228.98.251 (talk) 23:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a near-contemporary account of the use of the credit 'Henry Bookholt' for the US print of Krull in this 1961 article in Time magazine: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,895513,00.html. There are also mentions on web sites of the name being used on the US print of Die Halbstarken – including, I'm almost sure, on IMDB. Grubstreet (talk) 08:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lack of clarity here. Although the fact box says he was born Horst Buchholz, the main text is ambiguous on this matter to say the least. Here he is said to have taken the surname from his stepfather – but Herr Buchholz did not marry Horst's mother until the boy was about five years old. Was he really, from birth, known by the surname of his future stepfather? Grubstreet (talk) 08:09, 18 June 2010 (UTC) Hello grubstreet. My name is Brian Buchholz, and im danish and related to horst. He was my moms grandcousin, Im searching for all information about our family, and hope to find some help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.164.199.146 (talk) 08:26, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

citation needed, lots of actors are called gay but lots of them are not — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.122.152.64 (talk) 07:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to make the same point. Absolutely nothing in the article to indicate anything to do with LGBT, but he's categorised as bisexual. How is that possible? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:42, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia standard operating procedure. Pushing the gay agenda.173.72.63.150 (talk) 02:34, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Horst Probst[reply]

The agenda being pushed recently appears to be a distinctly gay-unfriendly one. For several years, the article included the following biographical item:

"In 2000, he talked about his bisexuality for the first time in the German tabloid Die Bunte."

Then on 30 January 2013 an editor deleted that statement, ostensibly because the cit it used was a by-then-dead link to an obit in The Independent. The standard operating procedure in such cases is to tag the link as dead, or even google up a live one to replace it, not to summarily delete the text it supported. Mention of Buchholz's self-revelation having been sent up the chimney, on 3 December 2013 an IP editor followed up by deleting the three sexual-minority categories that were a cause of puzzlement to the first two posters above. The postmortem sexual reorientation treatment is now complete, 100 percent heterosexuality achieved. Congratulations, ye noble crusaders for normalcy, yet another deceased demi-deviated prevert celebrity has been sanitized for society's protection. 66.249.175.43 (talk) 13:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Buchholz's "disappeared" bisexuality has now been restored, with a direct quote and two solid cits, along with the three related categories. 66.249.172.248 (talk) 05:11, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

”The postmortem sexual reorientation treatment is now complete, 100 percent heterosexuality achieved. Congratulations, ye noble crusaders for normalcy, yet another deceased demi-deviated prevert celebrity has been sanitized for society's protection.” Wrong logic, misfiring of sarcasm. The truth is that the only source for Horst’s “revelation” is not an RS. He was not famous enough in the United States for People magazine to investigate his personal life. European journalists don’t investigate sexual acts by artists. They respect privacy. Brent Brant (talk) 21:09, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have reinstated mention of Buchholz’s discussion of his bisexuality, with cites, including one from his son. As he is willing to discuss his father’s sexuality, I’m unclear as to why Wikipedia wouldn’t. KJP1 (talk) 09:27, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In "Diane Chambers Day," the 22nd episode of the fourth season of the TV series Cheers, Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) remarks, "I never miss a Horst Buchholz film."

I suspect that's an allusion to a comment, attributed to Gore Vidal, on Cleopatra (a yuuuge production): "I never miss a Hume Cronyn movie." —Tamfang (talk) 10:05, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
