Early life

[edit]

I removed this from the article

"A news story in the June 12, 1949, issue of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle calls the information in the preceding sentence into question. It describes Westerfield as "the son of a famous producer-director" and says he was "a youngster in Denver, Col.")

The article mentions sneaking into the Jessie Bonstelle theater, which was in Detroit where Westerfield spent his early years, not Denver. It also makes the claim that his father was a producer, director, and former leading man. His father was definitely a candy maker, but I couldn't find any sources corroborating his involvment in local theater. Stembark (talk) 13:36, 8 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
