Name?
[edit]Article does not give her birth name which it should if it's anything other than Natasha Lyonne and nothing more. I just looked at the Spanish version of this page and it's given that way so I will just go ahead and fix it. I don't see a cite over there but are those needed for non-controversial names? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.129.240 (talk • contribs) 15:02, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
warrant out for her arrest, after she failed to appear at a court date Friday Mon Jan 30 2006

You're an idiot, Mikereichold, it's just an update... Do you have any information contradicting the neutrality? And no, I'm not the person who wrote it, just someone who wondered why the entry was flagged.
Does seem a little silly to flag it; it's not bad, just focuses on the Oprah-worthy issues a bit much. It might've gone into more about her film roles rather than the tabloid stuff. However for that at least, it's okay. Kuma
Her film roles? LOL! Her sterling perfomance as the feminist in American Pie and as the girl with the overextended hooters in Slums of Beverly Hills? Yeah, that took all of a sentence. In all fairness, the only reason anyone is visiting this page is because she's a trainwreck.
I don't think the tags are inappropriate. I'll try and work on the article someCrumbsucker 03:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I expanded the article quite a bit. I didn't feel there was any problem with it's neutrality. I included comments made by her landlord and neighbors and also comments refuting them by her father. I did think the article needed a little cleaning up and Crumbsucker did a good job. Still, I think a little more information on the reasons for her eviction ought to be reinstated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.141.103.93 (talk • contribs) 23:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC).
Conservative with big C or little c?
[edit]Did she grow up in the Conservative movement of Judaism or with a conservative political ideology? Or both? Valley2city 22:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I think this is a booking photo for an arrest and as such is in the public domain. 216.153.214.89 (talk) 04:31, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Former personal life section
[edit]I have drastically trimmed the personal life section due to WP:BLP concerns. The former section is preserved here:
Lyonne dated actor Edward Furlong, whom she met on the set of Detroit Rock City, from 1998 to 2000. She became friends with actor Michael Rapaport in 1997 and later rented an apartment in a building he owned on East 18th Street. In 2005, Rapaport evicted her and wrote an account of the matter in that May's issue of Jane. He said problems began in 2003 when Lyonne's heavy partying and harassment of tenants triggered complaints. After her eviction, he went to inspect her apartment and found it trashed.
Singer and former neighbor Rufus Wainwright wrote a song about her called "Natasha" included on his 2003 album Want One.
Legal troubles
On August 28, 2001, Lyonne was arrested by Miami Beach police after hitting a road sign with her rented car and trying to flee the scene. An officer who witnessed the incident said Lyonne refused to take a breathalyzer test and told him, "I'm a movie star. Can I talk to my entertainment lawyer?" Actor Adam Goldberg was riding in the car at the time. Lyonne later pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and received six months of probation and 50 hours of community service.
In December 2004, Lyonne was arrested after verbally threatening her neighbor, breaking a mirror in the neighbor's apartment, and threatening to molest the neighbor's dog[1]. She spent a night in jail before being arraigned on charges of criminal mischief, harassment, and trespassing. The details of this incident did not become publicly known until two years later. In April 2005, an arrest warrant was issued for Lyonne for failure to appear in court on the charges. Prosecutors say she showed up, but arrived an hour late and only stayed 30 minutes. Police were unable to locate Lyonne until reports of her hospitalization in August.
In January 2006, another arrest warrant was issued for her after she missed another hearing. Lyonne's lawyer said an emergency came up, but he didn't specify.
Hospitalization
In August 2005, the New York Post reported that Lyonne was in Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan under a pseudonym, and had been there for over a month after being transferred from Bellevue Hospital. She reportedly suffered from hepatitis C, a heart infection, and a collapsed lung. She was also allegedly undergoing methadone treatment for a heroin addiction and had track marks on her body.[2] The Post also reported that Lyonne had been homeless and on the streets after her eviction by Rapaport. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Lyonne's father denied she was homeless and said he might take legal action against the hospital for breaking the confidentiality of Lyonne's status.
Recovery and return to acting
In December 2006, Lyonne appeared in court to face the 2005 charges. A judge sentenced her to conditional discharge. Since then, she has completed four films.[3] In January 2008, she appeared in a Broadway play, Two Thousand Years.[4]
Lyonne worked on the thriller 13 with a release date of 2010. Other cast members include Mickey Rourke, Ray Liotta and Jason Statham.[5]
Lyonne is currently working on dark-comedy/ horror flick All About Evil in San Francisco, which was written by and directed by San Francisco late-night movie host and short film producer Joshua Grannel.

Someone please bail me out
[edit]I edited the article here to accurately reflect that Lyonne never completed high school, which is what she told an Esquire interviewer in the link provided. Unfortunately, I made a royal mess while doing so, and I am not nearly knowledgeable enough in the ways of Wikipedia to fix my mess. I don't even know how to do a revert. If anyone can see my edit of 5 mind ago, and pls undo everything besides the part where I changed "graduated" to "never completed" high school, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

She's more famous and known for the American Pie movie series. Orange is the New Black and Russian Doll are just more recent.
[edit]Change the intro to make it clear that the American Pie series was her big break and what she is known for. 2601:199:417E:2210:D404:E225:7005:FBFB (talk) 07:07, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
nationality
[edit]The article states she lived in Israel for 1.5 years as a child and has dual citizenship. OK. Still, it seems to me like a huge stretch to introduce her as "an American-Israeli actress." The two citations for that phrase don't say anything of the kind: the NYT article simply includes Chloë Sevigny saying "she lived in Israel," while the people.com article says she moved to Israel at 8 and then returned. In general I find Wikipedia's treatment of nationality to be problematic -- certain countries like England and Israel tend to be "grabby" -- and I think this is an example. I doubt that most of the places most people lived for 1.5 years, even if they earned citizenship, are honored in the first sentence of Wikipedia entries. It seems misleading. Change? At the least it should be "Israeli-American," since the US is overwhelmingly Lyonne's cultural, national, and artistic context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roidenavarre (talk • contribs) 04:42, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- I can also see concerns with WP:OR here, but I would like to see you bring sources to support your information. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 04:46, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean by "your information." I have no information. I'm just saying the nationality phrase seems discordant with the facts presented in the article and in the citations to the nationality phrase. Roidenavarre (talk) 04:49, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
