Year of birth

Year of birth changed to 1909 per Kay Thompson's bio, KayThompson: From Funny Face to Eloise, by Sam Irvin, published by Simon & Schuster. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 14:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1909 year of birth also supported by St. Louis Walk of Fame website; the 1920 U.S. census gives her age as 11 and year of birth as "around 1909", although actual date the census taker came to her family's home in 1920 is unclear. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 13:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Jack Jenney article with that of Thompson

Thompson's first husband's article should be merged and redirected to that of Thompson as, IMHO, he does not reach threshold of notability for own article. Will research further and withdraw should sufficient evidence of notability emerge. Quis separabit? 00:24, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you had informed me of this as I created his article. His version of Stardust looks to be considered significant and he was a popular trombonist in his day. Wikipedia has a, very bad, tendency to think in terms of "what is notable for people under 40." And sure on that basis Jenney is not notable. But otherwise he is.T.

Andy Williams

It is about time that someone added Kay's secret fling with Andy Williams. Was it really that long? Understand that it almost had to be secret because of how scandalous it would have seemed at the time. It is different today with changing American social mores and 'cougars' openly promoting their lifestyles. Heff01 (talk) 21:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
