Page says "Broccoli's family developed the hybrid food plant by the same name." I don't see anything in the article Broccoli about this. Can someone clarify how the Broccolis (family & plant) relate? Else I'm afraid this sentence will have to go-- Elf | Talk 19:10, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- This ia a well known urban myth and should be banished. Mintguy (T) 19:36, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- It is absolutely absurd to suggest that this man's family invented broccoli which has been around for centuries and comes from latin, not from a familial surname. Broccoli's family did not bring the first broccoli seeds to the United States anymore than did John Bean's family bring the first beans to Britain. This is a silly legend that will continually be re-added to this article probably for the rest of time.Heruka2006 07:19, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm making reference to this on the broccoli article, citing sources that claim this urban legend to be true. Leevclarke 20:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

- Support. It's what I know of him as, and it gets more Google hits. (Plus quite a few of the "Cubby Broccoli" Google hits are for "Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli" anyway.) Proteus (Talk) 10:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd prefer just Albert Broccoli (I get more hits for that than Albert R., for what it's worth) but either would be better than Cubby.--Cherry blossom tree 23:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nedra Clark Broccoli
In the sidebar to the right, her death is shown as 1956. Un der the subheading "Family Life", her death is shown as 1958, after the birth of their daughter. Which is correct?155.82.249.253 14:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tenses
- In 1966, Albert was in Japan with other producers scouting locations to film the next James Bond Film. Albert had a ticket booked on BOAC Flight 911. He canceled his ticket on that day so he could see a ninja demonstration. Flight 911 had crashed after clear air turbulence.
Why does the last sentence contain the pluperfect tense? As it stands, paragraph seems to state that he cancelled his ticket after the crash had taken place.--Oxonian2006 (talk) 10:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
