Talk:Hadley Richardson

Incorrect Date

In the third introduction paragraph it mentions that Hadley divorced Hemingway in 1926 and then was remarried in 1993 to Paul Mowrer. However, after following the link to the Paul Mowrer article, it notes that he died in 1971. Obviously, one of these dates is incorrect. I am not sure which as I do not know much about either person. If anyone could fix this as soon as possible that would be great. Thanks. Sweetness46 (talk) 23:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

They were married in 1933. Perhaps you read it wrong? Truthkeeper88 (talk) 01:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Hehe.. Embarrasing. Sorry about that. Sweetness46 (talk) 02:20, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Dubious edit

To the line in the article, "The divorce was finalized in January 1927", someone recently added "and Hadley never recovered, she died a short 52 years later."

This seems to be a bit of guerrilla theater, as the next paragraph seems to imply that she recovered rather well; and 52 years is not a short time!

I suggest the changes be deleted, but I don't feel competent to decide that on my own. --Stpetric (talk) 03:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Missing info

This article seems to be missing information concerning an event in 1922, when (apparently) she lost some of her husband's unpublished manuscripts. As this Wall Street Journal article (Longing for the Great Works, APRIL 18, 2009, 7:00 A.M. ET) says:

"We all know the story of how Hadley Hemingway lost a suitcase containing all of her husband's unpublished short stories on a train going through Switzerland in 1922"

Well, I don't know the story so I went to Wikipedia to find out. . . --Smithfarm (talk) 11:49, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Nothing about the end of her life, or indeed much after World War II. The article just... stops. Ricadus (talk) 17:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

It does, which is unfortunate. She seems to disappear from view. Sources about her later life would be helpful. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 17:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Grammar glitch

After a childhood fall from a window, Hadley's mother became overprotective, and curtailed her activities.

In this sentence, the dependent clause "After a childhood fall from a window," modifies "Hadley's mother," not Hadley. It could be fixed this way: "After Hadley as a child suffered a fall from a window, her mother became overprotective and curtailed her activities." Sca (talk) 18:49, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Similar dangling participle appears in the early life section: who was the youngest child?--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Names

It's somewhat disturbing that the man is known by his last name, and the woman by her first, throughout the article. Some consistency?--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:16, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

That's a good question and I wondered how to deal with it as I was writing it. They were both Hemingway so using last names wouldn't work. Should he be referred to as Ernest throughout the article? Truthkeeper88 (talk) 01:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
