Union Square

Packed houses? According to imdb, the movie grossed less than $50,000 during its entire run. In other words, the phrase "packed houses" is a ridiculous distortion.

I'm guessing that section was written by Sorvino's agent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.45.119 (talk) 06:00, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-- I took the liberty to remove all that stuff. That part was really embarrassing, spending ten times the words spent for Mighty Aphrodite to shamelessly praise an obscure movie and its director like it was Sorvino's defining career moment. It came directly from Nancy Savoca's page, which is a shameful piece of propaganda in itself. Kumagoro-42 20:00, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Tarantino?

The Tarantino page mentions a relationship with Mira, so this should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robotwisdom (talk • contribs) 13:01, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-- Done. I even found a better source than the one originally listed in Tarantino's page (replaced it there, too). Kumagoro-42 20:23, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Picture

That is a really lousy picture of a gorgeous woman, someone upload a pic where she doesn't resemble a lobster please. Dirk Diggler Jnr

-- Done. Whew, that was a bad picture. Count Ringworm 19:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Link for "Semana Sancta" will bring up not the movie page, but "Holy Week" page instead. I could not find a proper page for the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.139.193.3 (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beetle defensive compound

Did you know there is a defensive compound in a diving beetle named in honor of MIss Sorvino? I shit you not. Check out this reference: Jerrold Meinwald, Qing Huang, Jan Vrkoč, Kithsiri B. Herath, Zhi-Cai Yang, Frank Schröder, Athula B. Attygalle, Vikram K. Iyengar, Randy C. Morgan, and Thomas Eisner 1998.

Star Trek

I heard from various friends that she's a big Trekkie. Is this true? CoffeeAddictMike 09:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is. She was on Later with Carson Daly some time ago and he gave her a prop "phaser" from the original series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.133.78 (talk) 16:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

House Joke

In the career part am I the only one who noticed the "put on freeze" part, kinda funny as the episode she was in was called "Frozen". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drek258 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed it too before looking here. Such details add flavour to articles—although they are usually lost at some point during the evolution of an article. Still, good one. Waltham, The Duke of 18:15, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jake's Women

Mira appeared with Alan Alda, Anne Archer, Lolita Davidovich, Julie Kavner and Joyce Van Patton in Neil Simon's Jake's Women — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.224.247 (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Birth place

The main body of the article and the infobox contradict each other about her place of birth, seemingly because there are contradictory sources. Should we go with one for consistency and make reference to the fact that there is some confusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchanders (talk • contribs) 01:32, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing this out. I don't believe that filmreference.com is a WP:RS, so we can discount the information it provides. IMDb is also not a reliable source for biographical information. It seems that the false information is spread out there enough that it is worth mentioning in the article. I just took it out completely. If anyone else wants to point out that there is confusion out there, feel free. But it should be clear from her own words in the interview that the Tenafly assertion is false.
