Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:53, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Trivia

What on earth is that trip down memory lane doing on Wikipedia?

Agnes Morehead Affair?

I would like to see a citation for this rumor. How likely is it that they had a lesbian affair given the 32 years difference in their ages?T.E. Goodwin 03:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the recent Agnes Moorehead biography by Charles Tranberg, Debbie Reynolds goes on the record and says it is not true. That of course will not stop vicious gossips who never let the truth stand in their way.

I don't know about Agnes Morehead but from what I remember in Las Vegas being her limo driver she chased the female maids around. She would frighten the maids and they would quit because they did not like being hit on. I have no problem with anyone being gay, I just wish more people would come out. Maybe it would be more excepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.183.116 (talk) 22:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh please, if that were true it would have come out years ago, a lot of people like to make up stories or exaggerate things…User:76.202.183.116, I think you’re just a troll making up stories too…if it’s true, then prove it find a credible source not some obscure website that runs on rumor. Anyway, many people have who actually knew Agnes Moorhead well have said that she was not gay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.116.180.169 (talk) 20:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other Relationships involving Debbie Reynolds

I'm surprised this page doesn't mention the infamous love triangle between Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher, and Debbie Reynolds. It also doesn't say her children's names, one of which is Carrie. Shouldn't you at least mention that Carrie Fisher (from Star Wars) is her daughter?2003graduate

Fair use rationale for use in the article Debbie Reynolds

1. Image is used solely for the identification of the subject.

2. The image is readily available on the source website, [1] or [2] and the further use of this image on Wikipedia is not believed to disadvantage the copyright holder.

3. The subject of the photograph is living and is currently still performing. The image of this person conveys

the person's current appearance,
the difference between her present appearance and that of the other image in the article which is from the 1952 film, Singin' in the Rain,
her durability in terms of career and
her versatility in terms of the varied media in which she has appeared throughout her career.

4. No free image has yet been located for this person which would convey all of the above information and characteristics.

5. It should be borne in mind by editors that the image is first and foremost a poster (and is captioned as such) for a concert which took place in 2005. By definition, a poster is intended to be seen by as wide an audience as possible and is a promotional tool. A promotional tool is, by definition, designed to promote an event or a person and is generally used by the promoters to cover as wide an audience as possible, in the same way as a film poster. Film posters are are considered fair use in that the copyright holder, if one exists, has implicitly allowed the image to be widely broadcast and propagated.

Didn't she die last week?

My dad said he heard on the news last week (today is April 6th) that she died last week. Could someone verify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.227.203.136 (talk) 02:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not her, as her official site has nothing about any death, and Google doesn't either. XPhile2868 (talk) 06:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a more recent image of her. All the ones in the article are so old. Bytebear (talk) 21:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Link at References

Reference #5, "How Celebrities Go Bankrupt at legalzoom.com" is dead - and I don't know how to remove it. Paulburnett (talk) 17:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Irish Ancestry??

Reynolds can be either Irish Or English. And Harmon her mothers maiden name is English. The source provided that she is Irish is not valid. I believe she is of English ancestry and not irish. At least partially English.

(Please add) Photo of Debbie Reynolds meeting fans in London, 1950s

I have a photo of Debbie Reynolds meeting fans in London, England circa 1955 (I'm almost certain that it was 1955, but it could have been 1953). Eddie Fisher was appearing at the London Palladium and this photo was taken outside the London hotel where Debbie and Eddie were staying. My late father is standing right next to Debbie. This photo belonged to my father, who passed away in 2007. Please would someone add the photo to the main article (Debbie Reynolds). The photo will probably need to be resized and may need to be enhanced and/or cropped. I own the original and I am happy to release it into the public domain.

This is my scan of the photo ... http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8174/debbiereynolds.jpg

Messages can be left for me at my Talk page Trevor_TB, but I can't log-in at the present time, so I may not be able to reply.

Please note that I am not able to provide any other scan than the one provided at the above link as the original photo is severely damaged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.140.36 (talk) 18:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the original poster of the above message. What I perhaps should've said was please could the photo be considered to be added to the article. I'll understand if it's not considered to be appropriate for the article. If it is accepted, please would someone add the photo for me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.140.47 (talk) 19:20, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Her maternal grandmother did not die in 1932, as this article says.

"Her maternal grandmother Joan Harmon (September 5, 1883 – October 31, 1932) was an actress who worked on Broadway from 1929 until late 1930."

I think this sentence is wrong. It exists pictures of Debbie Reynolds' grandmother with her great-granddaughter (Carrie Fisher) on the internet, and Carrie was born in 1956. I have also found information on "www.rootsweb.com" saying that Debbie Reynolds maternal grandmother was Maxie Harmon (1889-1976).
