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!

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]
