Question[edit]

Why does she usually seem to speak with a Swedish accent if she's from South Carolina? And if she's Jewish (unconfirmed), why does she look like a Valkyrie? Quis separabit? 02:24, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! Good question. According to her 1930 census, she has a European-born father. Polish, to be exact. Close enough, I guess, since we're not far away from Poland geographically. OscarL 17:44, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Years active[edit]

IMDB says that her first acting role was in 1963 and not 1961.

Can this be changed? MikaelaArsenault (talk) 14:50, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MikaelaArsenault, could you provide a better source? IMDb is a user-generated site which may not always be accurate and therefore is not considered reliable on Wikipedia. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 14:58, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death?[edit]

When did she die? This seems like yet another one of those divided death date debates! Looks like we yet again are in for a lot of editing back and forth...

Deadline, Hollywood Reporter and BBC says Tuesday November 3.

Entertainment Weekly says both dates, in one and the same article!

https://ew.com/movies/actress-elsa-raven-dies-91/

Both sides are referring to a statement from her agent, but he couldn't possibly have said both dates! How is it possible that we always end up in this situation?...194.69.14.62 (talk) 07:30, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
