Bill Elliot
Correction
The actor’s surname is misspelled here. The Western film star was billed as Bill Elliott, best known as Wild Bill Elliott.
Full reasoning
The article names the Western actor as "Bill Elliot", but reliable film-history sources identify him as Bill Elliott (with two t's), widely known as Wild Bill Elliott.
- Turner Classic Movies refers to him as "Wild Bill Elliott" in its film article on The Longhorn.
- The State Historical Society of Missouri’s Missouri Encyclopedia likewise identifies him as Gordon "Wild Bill" Elliott.
So this is a factual name error: the surname should be Elliott, not Elliot.
