Birthday?

Is it 20 July 1971 or 30 November 1970? IMDb had changed back and forth a few times now --Fallout boy 22:03, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Her official website says it is 20 July 1971 [1] (but I have not been able to verify if that site is affiliated with her)

I also cannot find her valid birthday... About website posts it as 30 November 1970, while IMDb has it as 20 July 1971. And as the earlier user stated, IMDb has changed that date back and forth. Does anyone have a reference to an actual, credible record? But because her official website posts her DOB as 20 July 1971, I believe we should keep it as that, for the mean time. --AJ24

Picture

Didn't there used to be a picture here?

Improv Games

sandraoh.com says she was in the improve games. true?

Photo

For one of People's 50 most beautiful people, perhaps there could be a mor flattering picture, instead of the one of her looking tired and messy currently in the article?

I disagree. She's not a classic beauty. Her "earthiness" (e.g. "messy") is part of her charm. YMMV. Bellagio99 15:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Orr

Who is Andrew Orr, and why is it useful to note that Ms Oh had a locker next to his at one time? 14:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

In/On (syntax trivia)

As I posted some notable roles for Sandra Oh, I noticed that I/we say on a continuing TV show such as Grey's Anatomy but in a movie such as Sideways. YMMV Bellagio99 15:29, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why Vandalism?

I am puzzled by the frequent vandalism of this page, really hostile and silly remarks about Ms Oh's appearance. Does anyone have any insight as to why people do such things? Is there any research on the subject? Bellagio99 14:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I'll contribute my own personal inclinations on the matter. The gist of it is that, to Asian or Asian-American eyes, Sandra Oh is not in the least attractive, and certainly not attractive enough to merit People's top 50 or all the attention that she's been getting from the (White-dominated) media. Acting talent aside, Asians/Asian-Americans feel that such compliments could and should be paid to more deserving individuals, and that, to put it frankly, non-Asians are a poor judge of Asian beauty. Hence the hostility. Note: I understand this is borderline "personal opinion," but I only posted it as a plausible response to the above question. Sophrosune (talk) 15:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate picture

In the current picture you can hardly see her face. I suggest that a photo that shows frontal face be used.

Agreed, anyone have a better picture?
